I got a pen off of pen swap and somehow missed that it was a stub. Not a match for my itty bitty handwriting. 5 seconds in and I had told it "omg fuck offffffff" at least twice

I read @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app's The Fae Island Incident, 1892 from @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social l's Forged in FIYAH! anthology. She hits my weakness for complex worldbuilding with an emsemble cast. It's quite the balancing act.
