Oh my gosh I want them. So so pretty! I genuinely wish I had the time to teach myself to bind, because do you know how many fanfic books I'd have on my shelves? And Wait & Hope would absolutely be on the top shelf. That story is just...ah. I love it.
My take on Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting ✨ I was inspired by some versions of the Penguin Clothbound Classics I saw on Pinterest. Wait and Hope was one of the first Dramione fanfics I ever read, and it holds a super special place in my heart. I just want to put this Draco in a little jar and keep him safe 🥹 WAIT AND HOPE is free to read on ao3 — keep fandom free.
@procraftination_customs, thank you SO much for sharing this amazing typeset with us, you’re an absolute angel! 🤍
File this under “super obvious yet I always seem to forget it.”
Literally the only aesthetic I can say I've consistently loved. Like, LOOK at these houses. They are STUNNING.
Whimsical victorian houses

(please) **STOP GIVING WARRIOR WOMEN ARMS LIKE SPARROW LEGS. WOMEN HAVE BICEPS TOO!!**
The book: she was an expert swordsman and a worthy opponent. athletic, strong, etc.
The fanart: we're talking waifish
i will never get the people who are disappointed after reading tfota bc apparently it's lacking romance they thought would be there. like are u telling me “Kiss me, kiss me until I'm sick of it” doesn't make u giggle and kick your feet in the air? "You really do want me. And you hate it" does nothing for you? "Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop" isn't making you FERAL? and "If you're the sickness, I suppose you can't also be the cure" isn't all peak romance. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THOSE DAMN LETTERS

Latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreon members for September, featuring Elspeth and Ravyn from ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig! I don't know about you all, but I got Pride vibes (from Full Metal Alchemist) with The Nightmare and so paid a little homage to that here. I know functionally it would be more like Greed/Ling, but the patient and lethal personality reminded me of Pride.
ⓘ This user wants to be someone's sweet villain and darling god, dearest punishment and sweet nemesis, who they think is the only real thing in a land of ghosts, and by who they are forever undone.
All the time. It's a growing problem. It's almost like I think if my eyes skip over quickly, it won't matter, my brain will somehow still absorb it (Plot twist - it doesn't, and I need to start the paragraph, or, indeed, the page, over).
Me, right now.
I've been letting a story idea marinate in my head for a week and there are so many avenues I could take, but I'm also nervous to even start. Mainly because the last few things I've tried to write, I've literally deleted upon reading.
I miss the old me. She used to write daily, thousands of words, and did not give a shit if the first draft sucked. She went back and wrote it again.
I freeze. Like, Deer-In-Headlights-Freeze. Why? Who the fuck knows. But if anyone has any advice other than, "Just write through it, it will be fine!," I'd be eternally grateful.
