Queer romance IS resistance. It is radical to imagine happiness, and community, and joy, when people are trying to kill you, erase you, oppress you, or deny you the right to live a full life in so many ways.

Real talk from behind the scenes: we have 2 weeks to raise $8.5k in order to fund Heavy Are The Years. We've been crunching numbers just in case we fall short and we simply will not be able to print the gorgeous book we want to share with you all, not at the high quality we're hoping for, at least.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

i think about form size a lot, bouncing between epic fantasy series and standalones, short stories, and novellas. generally, i’m pretty disinterested in the categories themselves, but i’m interested in using the space well, to best effect. so how do you write a good story at any length?

a strange knight with no home

a long haired knight swathed in dark, slightly mismatched armour seems to be almost coming apart at the seams and is missing a left arm. their head is severed from their neck, bright turquoise green fire escaping the severed spot and their lips. a similarly colored glowing light is emanating from the slightly exposed cavity in their chest armour. in their right hand is a gauntlet, with dark liquid trickling down its surface. behind them are two large archways filled with a ghostly light, with an amalgam of faces, hands and wings making up a decorative, connective piece at the top.
