Do you think Esme will stop using her Boleyn sleeves? It’s been 2 shows already that she’s not using them.

Hey I had queued up a reply to this based on the 15th Mar 2023 show. Now we have photos of the 16th Mar show, which have her back to wearing her bracers. Keeping my original answer intact below just to answer what some of the possibilities could be.

———————

Not necessarily. It definitely don't think it was an intentional design choice. She wore them for the show on Feb 21st but by megasix for the show on Feb 22nd she wasn't. The chances of them randomly making that design choice at about a year and a half in between two random back to back show days is low. It's most likely that there's some sort of issue that needs to be fixed. Wear, fit, whatever. Might be that the issue hadn't fully been resolved between these shows. If there's something significant enough that it needs a replacement, that just may not happen (might be considered more effort than its worth) and she may stop wearing entirely. But it's also very likely that whatever was an issue gets fixed and/or she does get replacements. It also could just be an accident. It's a weird one-off costume piece that she doesn't wear with any other costume, and she covers six roles and has a million things in her brain. Would be very easy to forget the little details like that once or twice (especially since she hadn't covered Boleyn as much for a while), and it wouldn't be the first thing that something like that has happened with Six: I can't even count all the times that Howards have forgotten their chokers.

————————

Wrap up note from Mar 16: That’s a quick turnaround so I’m not expecting replacement. It was likely either some sort of wear etc issue that just needed a fix and hadn’t been yet, or yes could have just forgotten.

End-of-summer updates 📚✨

Hey all - since we're nearing the end of summer, I want to touch base re: the last update post I made back in May and talk about where I'm at writing-wise as we approach the last quarter of 2023. Side-note, am I the only one who feels like this year has just flown by? Because holy shit. Anyway - see below the cut for updates on querying, submissions, my ✨official✨ author site, and events.

Querying: I am still on schedule to start querying Life in Black and White sometime in September. My draft query letter template is nearly done (tentatively planning to get it finalized and looked over by next weekend). Aside from the two agents who requested my query during the QueerPit event on Twitter, I currently have six agents on my initial list. This is because I am being extremely thorough wrt vetting/background checking stuff, as you unfortunately kind of have to be in this industry, especially when it comes to a project you've been working on for fifteen years. My goal is to initially query about 20-25 agents who I think would be the best fit for this particular story and go from there. Unfortunately, the nature of the story means that a relatively large number of agents I was originally interested in had to be "disqualified" from my list due to content warning-related reasons (to be clear, I deeply appreciate agents being clear and upfront about what topics they're not a good fit for due to triggers/personal discomfort - it saves all of us precious time).

Submissions: I currently have one flash piece and three poems on submission (one of the poems, my favorite, is in a contest right now, and will most likely be sent out on wider submission once the contest is over, unless I get a publication offer). Currently preparing one poem (a special one!) and two flash pieces to go on submission. I also have three (longer) shorts in the works, which are on the backburner while I prepare to query Life in Black and White.

Website: I'm tentatively planning to launch my ✨"author website"✨ (literally just a Tumblr sideblog, I mainly just want an "official" place to direct folks in author bios), mentioned in the last update post, on ~October 15th. As stated, this (words-after-midnight) will remain my main blog. Most of my posts on the "official" sideblog will be my own stuff/updates and will be queued/scheduled in advance.

Events: Not much yet. I'm participating in NYC Midnight's inaugural 500-word story competition, which starts on August 25th, and planning to either start the draft of Supernova or continue working on The Dotted Line's draft for NaNoWriMo, whichever I'm in a better position to tackle closer to November.
