i want to wear the scent of his misery like a victor's shroud

unfortunate ways i realized in my first draft that the terminology i used for "stake" was far too sexualized during a fight between two female vampires. exhibit a: "her delicate hand enclosed around the oaken shaft". exhibit b: "...grinning as she pressed the tip further into her soft flesh".

hey instead of using ai to make a book cover because you can't afford to hire an artist, go minimalist. slap a background color on there, a pretty border, and the title in the mid like an ancient academic text. idk if it needs to be said, but you absolutely CAN change the cover art after publishing.

i am a firm believer that it's possible to be both concerned about censorship and the power of governmental law over art whilst also acknowledging that was Super Fucked Up and consequences were needed. #toriwoods
