Please help Abo Jameel's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving & homeless under renewed siege & bombardment:

Book cover for Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover depicts Carmilla leaning her head against Laura's while she embraces her, Laura doesn't shy away from Carmillas touch but seems shy to reciprocate. They're framed by a red pointed arch, a devil and an angel and some baroque ornaments.

A crop.

I need to log off. I'm in that early stage of writing where every time I see a (valid!!!!!) piece of criticism I'm like "is that me???? is that... the book I'm writing right now?????" bud you haven't even named half the characters yet. chill

the whalerot one would be extra special though cause in the book it makes you see nonexistent colours

mine would be awful. just awful. "BOG ODOR" "WHALEROT" "WET HORSE"

resolving henceforward not to try to piece out the details of a sex scene until I actually know the characters and can have fun connecting their experience to the story x)
