"Or," Shepard said as she stepped into the room. "We could stay here." She wasn't wearing a damn thing. She balanced her forearm against the frame of the door, her lashes low on her eyes. There was a flush to her face that he was starting to grow familiar with. Like a sunset on a distant world, all pinks and pales, freckles dotting moons and stars on the great expanse. She was a whole galaxy, right there in front of him. "Or," he heard someone with a voice very similar to his say, "we could stay here."

Go read deeper well by @lilmissnatcat24 for the @shakarianminibang. You are in for a treat :)

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

Everyone stop what you’re doing and look at this BEAUTIFUL art that @daefromouterhell made for me for my fic The Long Way Toward Each Other

Words can genuinely not express my gratitude for this, nor can I explain how truly honored I am to have collaborated on this 🩷

Thank you, and thank you again!!

And please go give Dae a visit and feast on all the gooooooorgeous art.

It was such a pleasure to collaborate with Lacey. I wanted her to choose which scenes I would illustrate because I wanted this artwork to be a tribute to both her and this fic. ❤️

She was also incredibly kind and helped me by sharing the reference images she had used as inspiration for her descriptions!

(Pen smoking a pipe is now a canon thing for me, no complaints allowed)

I am still gushing over this image because JUST FREAKIN' LOOK AT IT! LOOK HOW GOOD IT IS!

LOOK AT THE WAY THEY'RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER!! @daefromouterhell you are amazing and I love this picture to bits

Valentino: i'd like you to remember just how much you adore me and how dull your life would be without me in it.

Vox: what did you do?

My Hero — The Em Dash

Today at work I was told that I can't use the em dash anymore in my emails or any client/executive facing communications because, and I quote, "it makes it look like you've obviously used AI, and your writing already sounds robotic enough because it's so nice and put together." Sooo.... because I have half a fucking brain, and know how to string two sentences together, I can't use my most favorite and most common punctuation mark? (meanwhile, in the next breath, I'm being told to run my every email, sentence, whatever through AI to see what it comes out with)? WTF

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3
