I'm thinking about posting my Arthurian WIP to my ao3 to help motivate me to keep writing because I've kinda been stalled on it for a few months and having a bit of an audience might help me. But I also know there's things I need to go back and expand/add and I was planning on doing that after

It's sapphic September, the perfect time to bring back this quote from the moment when Alma meets the woman whose love will change her life Like what you see? Grab Woman of Sorrow & Blood today on Itch: diannagunn.itch.io/wosab Or elsewhere: books2read.com/u/m0p0kW #BookSky #HorrorSky

Cover for Woman of Sorrow and Blood by Dianna Gunn, which features a woman in a quasi-historical flowing red dress holding a rose, on a red background. It’s accompanied by the words "I manage three steps forward before I find myself rooted to the spot, unable to think beyond a sudden desire to memorize the Daughter of Night’s every feature. Her high cheekbones, her sharp chin, the redness of her lips, the wavy black hair curling around her shoulders.
She’s too pale, like she’s on death’s doorstep, and she clings to her chair like she can’t be upright without it; all signs of the illness she endures. She’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, more beautiful even than Nightmother, though it would be blasphemous to say so."

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

seravph
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

A graphic describing various aspects of the The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley by Lindz McLeod. The background is a muted, gentle purple. Text banners read:

- sexy, wet Orpheic dreams
- Sapphic Austen continuation
- bitchy banter
-open door spice
- friends to lovers
- self-improvement (sort of)

Sell your book in five words: Captain can't catch a break.

Paperback book cover of "The Elysium Proposal" by A.E. Bross. Design has a person in silhouette, holding a sword, standing against an eerie green back drop. The description of the book reads:

Kyle Talos, adventurer, privateer, and captain of The Stargazer, wanted to have the perfect romantic evening with the love of her life. Good food, better wine, and then maybe, just maybe, a marriage proposal.

Except nothing ever goes as planned.

Instead, she received a nighttime chase across rooftops, her ship commandeered, and threats that forced her into sailing herself, her not-yet-fiancé, and the invading enemy towards certain doom. All of this in pursuit of the myth of a spring that could grant eternal life. This otherworldly prize was rumored to be located on the Elysium Cove, a small island far out to sea.

An island surrounded by storms so powerful that no vessel has sailed in and returned to tell the tale. More than one fool has tried. None of them survived.

Kyle must now keep herself and those she loves safe, but will she be able to change course before the relentless search for eternal life leads them all to their deaths?
