Took me a while but a new moodboard for #seventiesgothic ! #BluePitHype (two days late)

Hi #BluePitHype! I’m Lottie, I write literary fiction in the historical, gothic and varsity veins as well as some horror. I’m inspired by real life history, the natural world and what terrifies me most. I started writing so long ago I can no longer remember how I started.

When listening to Ethel Cain and the recommendations are like: Charli xcx boygenius mitski chappel roan etc respectfully, what does she have in common with them

One of those days where I remembered I was autistic actually

Having to get into writing again after Christmas off 🙂 why is it hard now

I love hearing merry Christmas (war is over) and simply having a wonderful Christmas time being played consecutively when I’m out somewhere. Happy McLennon Christmas

Violet returns to her hometown for the late autumn to reconnect with old friends and her childhood sweetheart, and, shall we say, leaves with her own little Christmas miracle :) #HorrorWritersChat

I’m Lottie, I write gothic fiction and my favourite festive tradition is drinking mulled wine 🍷!! #HorrorWritersChat

My friend calls me the “ldpdl impersonator” but honestly? Claudia. It’s the longing to be seen as an adult that gets to me

To save my pretentiousness card I didn’t know that song was on the gay pirate show I just listen to Leonard Cohen

#WIPPIT Julia has a playlist but first and foremost it’s Avalanche by Leonard Cohen. youtu.be/3f0ADuVJhYQ?...

Paddington 2 is just grand Budapest hotel for kids

Four books similar to the one I wrote 🩷

“Love” is as close as I can get. It’s not a Lottie WIP until someone throws up. #WIPSnips

Kraftwerks 2025 tour has ONE uk date and it’s in MILTON KEYNES?

#WIPPIT Julia’s is easy - a satin Paul Smith scarf that she DEFINITELY didn’t steal from a patient :)

10 Shows to get to know me: (In no specific order) 1. Inside a no.9 2. Succession 3. Twin Peaks 4. It’s always sunny in Philadelphia 5. Severance 6. Community 7. Interview with the Vampire 8. True Detective season 1 9. Yellowjackets 10. Game of thrones

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

#WIPSnips My MC is thirteen years old here - I don’t think I yet realised the significance it would have once she’s an adult.

a writing residency where you watch twin peaks, eat pie, & then the giant shows up & ominously warns you it’s time to write or else

I won’t rest until iOS makes an emoji for every bird. They should be their own category. I need a goldfinch emoji

Done!!!

Bluesky let me change my name and bioooo

#queerwriters Honestly, I’ve really fallen out of the habit of writing - in my defence I’ve been reading a lot and hopefully absorbing the knowledge and inspiration for my current wip

Happy #moodmon !! Sharing my moodboard for my #seventiesgothic hamlet inspired, dark academia-ish historical novel!

There’s some “tisms” bingo going around on threads and it’s giving me such secondhand embarrassment. SO obvious that so many of you see it as a series of personality quirks

*me and my mum a few sherries in trying to morris dance* and they say white people have no culture

Still haven’t got to see wicked yet

I am a freelance writer and social science researcher. I have published four short stories this year, and am currently querying my first novel. I write gothic, historical, and folk horror fiction. Lots of psychosexual issues in it, too. This week I've been preparing queries mostly #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat With either Violet or Malcolm I think I’d be fine. The horrors are so closely tied to THEIR personal baggage that they’d not affect me as much. I think it’s funnier to imagine those two suddenly 40 years into the future.

#HorrorWritersChat Death is quite scarce in Innocence, surprisingly, but. I will talk about Meg Linwood. She died over 20 years before Innocence begins when her daughter, Grace, was very young. Undoubtedly she shapes Grace and her father’s characterisation to the core!

#HorrorWritersChat well. This is ALL I do. The town Innocence takes place in is a merging of three towns in the Wiltshire/Somerset area. And the central setting is the old manor house of a family friend. I let my immediate family read some and without telling them they could instantly tell.

#HorrorWritersChat I’m Charlotte, and I’m a recent graduate preparing to query a mining town gothic manuscript! I write between horror and litfic, with exceptions, and this week I’ve been drafting my gothic novel set in the Winter of Discontent and planning an urban fantasy/horror!

Tumblr users love to say they love classics, which means pride and prejudice, the Brontes, the picture of Dorian gray, the great gatsby, decontextualised Kafka excepts, Lolita if it’s a media literacy argument and that’s about it
