It's Thursday, September 25. Have you downloaded enough stories? Are you SURE?

What if, instead of getting a real job that destroys my mental health, I worked part time at TWO libraries and continue working on my book? 🤭

PANIK

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Draco found the most expensive bottle of champagne in the cellars and took it out to the garden. He sat on the rock where they had shared their first kiss, and lit a cigarette. Life wasn't always fair, he knew this more than most. But that day in the dying light, he had let himself believe that,

All The Best: Chapter 6: So Close to Something Good is now live! Chapter count increased to 7 for this #Drinny marriage law AU. archiveofourown.org/works/686361...

As of this morning, I have officially conquered the DMV. All people and vehicles are appropriately registered and recorded in our current home state.

Mama We all go to hell

I'm constantly building carts on Pangobooks but never pulling the trigger 😅 I need to read what I have first, but also...........

Got stuck after a chapter and I've been mulling it over for a while, and I think I need to do a complete rewrite 😮‍💨 the entire scene is just not sitting well with me or the characters. I can't force it to work, so back to the drawing board.

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

The truth comes out in chapter 5 of All the Best: Forest for the Trees archiveofourown.org/works/686361...

I love ALL comments, even ones that are just an emoji! It makes readers feel "real" in a way that kudos and hits do not. Please feed my ego 😇

My oldest starts kindergarten today and I am NOT okay 😭 he's been my little buddy since 2020. Everywhere I go, he goes. I worked from home and he wasn't in daycare. I'm going to spend all day wondering what he's doing. His little brother is going to be distraught when he gets on the bus without him.

Self Actualization and Lesser Concerns is now complete! Thank you to everyone who has been along for the WIP ride, and welcome to the readers who wait patiently for works to be complete before starting! archiveofourown.org/works/642333...

It rained every single day. Draco had gone to great lengths to coordinate their busy schedules for this vacation, and the sun never came out. Dinner on the rooftop was moved into the cramped dining room, sunset strolls on the beach turned into watching a bad scifi movie in a packed auditorium that

@inkandcider.bsky.social does Drinny angst so well and adding in the Marriage Law prompt? We’re sold 😍 archiveofourown.org/works/686361...

This is theft. Full stop. Stealing library books is an act of censorship that encourages and normalizes criminal activity targeting public property. By removing books to silence voices and viewpoints, these individuals seek to indoctrinate and harm young readers. https://bit.ly/3HHERcK

Textually Inaccurate chapter 22 is up! A #Dramione text fic that you can't miss if you love the social media style AU's! archiveofourown.org/works/594725...

Chapter 4 of All the Best, a #Drinny marriage law fic, just went up! Looks like I will need 7 chapters to round this one out, and these are LONG chapters lol archiveofourown.org/works/686361...

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

All I'm saying is if you have to marry a straight/male presenting white person, make sure they are secretly really queer and then you can bond over weird tiktoks and the desire to overthrow the government/patriarchy

My life has not been super great, and current events are REAL bad. Part of me didn't think I would make it to this age/stage, but today my kids got to climb into a firetruck and then run through the hose spraying in the air, and I'm so glad I lived. I hope the world is better for them.

New Textually Inaccurate chapter is up 👀 archiveofourown.org/works/594725...

Depending on things, there may be a slight delay in chapter 19 of Self Actualization. I've had a bit of a plot twist manifest itself and now I can't ignore it.

Tensions run high as old rivals are forced to negotiate marriage contracts and align themselves together to overturn the law. But not everyone is being honest, and more than one life hangs in the balance. How far will Ginny go to regain her freedom? #Drinny archiveofourown.org/works/68636136

I... might have to increase this chapter count on my @ginnyfest.bsky.social entry... Chapter 4 is clocking in at 6400 words and it was supposed to have a whole other plot point...

It's almost tiiiiiiiiiime!

Self Actualization and Lesser Concerns Chapter 18: Worth the Wait It's all heart eyes from here on out folks! Thanks for bearing with me and the unbearable angst for 17 chapters lol I may or may not have shed a few tears when I wrote the epilogue this week. archiveofourown.org/works/642333...

Oh hell yeah!!

OH man. For the three people following my WIP, I can now confirm that they are getting the HAPPIEST of happily ever afters. Writing this epilogue is very cathartic after everything they've been through.

To readers who comment on fics: You're lovely, you're gorgeous, I would smooch you on the forehead if I could. To readers who comment on every chapter of a fic: We're not leaving this room until one of us is pregnant

Boomer parents are legally obligated to have the dullest kitchen knives known to man. I would have an easier time cutting this pizza with a rock I found outside.

While I logically know that I should not care about how many hits/kudos a fic is getting, low engagement makes it really hard to push past writing blocks. I just want to write things that people enjoy, and if no one cares, then what's the point? Anyway, I'm in my head a lot today and it's stupid.

Working at a library has increased my trad-pub reading exponentially but also, I keep checking out more books, when I still have a million unread books that I own at home/on my kindle...

Self Actualization and Lesser Concerns Chapter 17: Draco Malfoy, King of the Damned Today, we will find out exactly what Draco has learned about himself in the last year. archiveofourown.org/works/642333...

Just inject Noah Kahan's Howling directly into my veins at this point tbh

I am DEEPLY in my feels about my baby starting kindergarten. He's been with me every single day of his life, what do you MEAN he's going to be with strangers all day? What if he gets sad?? What if he's scared???

The cure to the male loneliness epidemic™️ is to recruit 10 friends and acquaintances to your plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously, both to enrich yourself and to get one over on the guy who's with your ex-wife. Think of the opportunities for male bonding!

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events. The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

It ain't even all that kinky, but here's some unrelenting Dramione smut featuring a soft dom Hermione and a simp Draco. 😇😇😇 archiveofourown.org/works/57769534

Theodore Nott had singlehandedly ruined Draco's life. The Internet was a splendid thing for a sheltered pureblood looking to expand his horizons, but ever since he managed to get WiFi in the Manor, Draco found himself spending hours scrolling through something called "social media". Voyeuristic by

This morning I woke up to an email where one person went through and read and kudos TEN of my fics in one day, and I'm like HI HELLO FRIEND! PLEASE leave me comments. Engagement makes me motivated and happy. It's not embarrassing or annoying!

Looking for #Krinny or #Krumione (?) recommendations. I've read a few short smutty one shots, but I'm looking for something that really develops Viktor's character out. Open to other Viktor pairings as well 👀

My kids go ham at the library, and it brings me so much joy. Yes we CAN bring that book home! That one too! We can read all of them!

How I'm trying to spend my summer:
