Intro Post

Hello! This is a side blog that posts the tenth sentence of a page. I typically avoid any sentences that are partway through dialog, purely because I hate the aesthetic of it in the formatting. My header image is the fiction that's currently queuing. Sister blogs are @whats-in-a-sentence and @oh-dear-so-queer where I put the first sentence of a chapter and all the pictures in between, and any LGBTQI mentions, respectively. Feel free to go through my Goodreads. If you like my blog please consider buying me a coffee xoxo
