#are technically novellas

[blamemma]

in case anyone is interested i read 30 books this year (a low-ish number for me but i wrote my thesis this year and had approximately 7 big mental breakdowns so a good number) 9 of those being non-fiction and the rest fiction/poetry :) these were the 5 books i gave 5 stars (again, a kind of low number but i think i spent a lot of this year reading books that could have been 5 stars at the wrong time of the year so they kinda lost out sorry to them x :/ )

Hate it when j&h adaptations give Jekyll a female love interest, like bitch, he HAS a love interest who is introduced on the first page, and his name is MR UTTERSON THE LAWYER.

I've been so stressed today and yesterday that my whole body hurts. 😩 Not even over anything special, half of it is just my brain telling me things are going to go badly down the line, probably. Hurts so much I might take a covid test just in case.

Write a book. I beg of you. PLEASE I mean it with my whole soul!! I've been binge reading your whole masterlist for the whole week now and if I'm not doing that I'm thinking about doing that and I can't get this out my head. I don't know how to explain it but reading your work feels like when youre with your mom in ur bed and she's caressing your hair and the lights are dim and she's reading you a bed time story and her voice is so soft and you're warm and almost drifting to sleep and basking in the absolute comfort and it's just a perfect haven except she's reading you geto and satoru angst (that just makes it better in my opinion) BUT fr your work feels so soft idk it touches me so deep I wanna kiss it's forehead and hug it so bad

ANWS, conclusion is write a book. I'll buy a hundred copies and never be normal again

FYI... For those who are fans of the Russell-Holmes series of novels this is a worthy addition even though much of the story involves events in the far past. And it is 30 years since The Beekeeper's Apprentice came out!

If there's one thing i can always count on myself to do, it's make a decision way too far into a draft that will create work for myself

[fictionkinfessions]

how on earth do you guys handle the time between your source(s) getting new content? it feels like it's been an eternity for me. it's only been a few months. not even half a year quite yet. don't get me wrong, I don't want my ending to be rushed, but also... you know how it is. can't keep rewatching what's already out every time I wanna see him again. gah.

Once again I am staring at my unhinged circus novella and wondering how to connect the last two scenes. Also I'm wondering if the story has a specific purpose to it because this feels like the kind of thing people would love to dissect for a deeper meaning that may or may not actually exist.

The whole thing just feels so surreal and I love it dearly but also it hurts every time I read the torture I put the narrator through. Also the lore behind the circus is basically never explained so it just kind of exists haha. (I'd love to just randomly publish this story someday and prompt people to wonder what the heck is happening in my mind.)

Okay I love the way you write toys in dnd. Elvish comforter LMAO GALE! Yesterday's fic and the one with the shock prod are PRIMO FOOD TY

Love to hear it, anon! Thank you for reading the fics and enjoying them 💜

As a longtime DM/GM, coming up with magic items is one of my favorite things in the world. Coming up with kinky ones is just like a slight tangent from that lol.
