I think I’m not a newsletter person. Oh well 🤷

this one has had quite a ride 🎡 from original fiction - to KE fic fest - to publication in a lit mag - to lit mag closing - to rights returned - to ao3 (the end) 🎬 archiveofourown.org/works/395795...

spring break plans shot to hell so i’m fighting the blues by hosting my own stay-at-home writers retreat. stay tuned ✨

in the midst of hellscapes big and small, i’m once again reminded that most of the time, most people are amazing🪽✨

tag yourself! I am #6

I think I need to write something fun. finish an old fic? start a new one? a newsletter on blurring fan boundaries?

the past couple months have included a really exciting work thing and some really awful personal things. it’s why I can’t quite deal with being online right now

“who she is on her own” 😍😍

unplugging for a while 🔌 see you soon x

the thing i miss least about online fandom is the overwhelming negativity

sometimes you’ve got to put your work out there, take a deep breath, and look away

as it says in my bio “boundaries sometimes blur” ☠️

tomorrow I shall announce something! keep an eye on my irl 🪓🔪❤️

I’m in no rush to see wuthering heights but I am fascinated by the reactions

would a newsletter (a) be a fun way to share my interests and expertise with various friend groups in a low-stakes way, or (b) a total nightmare timesuck that i would quickly resent? also would anyone care?

friends who use patreon - how do you made it work? (feel free to dm)

(If You Wanna Know If She Loves You So) It’s in Her Kiss 💣 an unromantic valentine’s fic 💋 but pluribus is that kind of show! ✍️ aka Carol tries to write a memoir archiveofourown.org/works/79526451

i’m not sure if/when i’ll finish this but can i just say that writing a story about a character who is also a writer creates a lot of opportunities for cheekiness

No pressure but if anyone can explain this, I’d love to understand more. It’s erotic *fiction* right? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

the terrible feeling of needing money and wondering if selling writing could help 🤢

how old is carol sturka, do you think?

desperate times, desperate measures. i think i’m writing fic again 🔭

nothing really to say online right now. but im still around, making it through, daydreaming etc

oh eve… 💕

working on a thing that is fun and engrossing and getting closer and closer to launch 🚀

very wise words and my main reason for stepping back for a while. if i’m irritated and/or wanting to argue - what’s the point?

love and courage to all who need it

writing a novel that will never be adapted for tv but if it was it would need a soundtrack so i’m working on that right now

not the most important thing right now but these ao3 scams are really annoying: "By the way, I have some thoughts about story can we connect some other platform?"

phew things are rough right now. a perfect storm of difficult conditions at home, at work, beyond, etc. crying actually helps

I’ve stepped away from fic but the year or so I spent on ficwip was pure joy

if/when I return to fic it will be for an event like this 🌹

when my inbox is full of AI generated phishing scams disguised as messages of love for my work but the ao3 bots taught me well 💪

one for the mlm fanfic / heated rivalry fans

i’m back 👋

another deadline approaches so I’m unplugging until it’s done. till soon 🔌

finding out that some of my favorite fic writers are still supporting twitter/x 😥 it makes me question so many things

as is often the case these days, i need to 🤐 but please know that i’m being a busy bee and trying to do you all proud

thinking of fanfic and fandom it really interests me that two of the biggest shows right now - Pluribus and Heated Rivalry - are very engaged with fan cultures 🤔

i get why people like this article but personally i think it offers a very narrow perspective on what fanfic is and does 🤷

fyi i’m gonna switch all my fics to “anonymous” in a few days. in case you want to bookmark something

new year’s resolution #1: i will spend less time online new year’s resolution #2: what if i start a blog? 🤦

some media i loved in 2025 📺: Pluribus, Dept Q, Murderbot, English Teacher, Peaky Blinders 🎥: Frankenstein (I didn’t watch many films) 📚: Jacqueline Hartman, "I Who Have Never Known Men," R.F. Huang, "Yellowface," Rebecca Reilly, "Greta & Valdin," Maggie Nelson, “Bluets" (reread)

happy new year friends! 2025 was a rough one but loaded with fantastic moments of friendship, community, and creativity. here’s to building many more opportunities for good - for all of us - next year and beyond 💕

if you’ve read Alison Bechdel’s earlier books - especially Dykes to Watch Out For or Fun Home - check out her 2025 comic book Spent. Such a clever and hilarious account of queer aging, creativity, politics, ethics, community, and change

another year of writing a lot but publishing (almost) nothing 😶 next year, though!! 🧨📚😉

on monday it’s back to business as usual but in the meantime i have theories my god i have observations

i forgot about the frantic pace of an active fandom! 🚅 PluB writing: a flurry of reads within 24 hours then buried under new fic avalanche 🐢 KE writing: hi, hi, is anyone out there, is this thing on? not complaining, just observing

mixed feelings about that finale but having the most diabolical ideas about things that could happen in s2. hmm have i been here before?

i think plurbus is one of those rare shows where a lesbian character drives the narrative and is allowed to be sexual and conflicted and desiring, but her central sexual/romantic relationships are not the story’s overarching purpose or point
