sooo with all the biphobia discourse is this a good time to plug my gothic dark academia wip with bi as fuck m/f academic rivals to lovers, magical fruit trees and bloodline magic, your estranged biological family becoming your found family, and critique of academia as a system

the hunger games were literally THE biggest books in the world in the 10’s. suzanne collins could have easily milked the shit out of her success by churning out a dozen books. but she only wrote one prequel 12 years later. maintaining the integrity of her original story

Michelle Yeoh is not Asian American. I would really love it if people acknowledged her MALAYSIAN ancestry and heritage because that's where she was born and raised. If you're gonna talk about representation and being seen, see her as she is, and acknowledge that, too.

as much as plot is important, the aesthetics are also very important to me… bringing a poetic sensibility to your prose, recurring motifs, parallelisms, having certain themes circle back by the end of the book, rich imagery and description…

IMO, “erasure poetry” is not poetry in any way. And to destroy someone else’s writing—or, God forbid, poem—and then call the leftover words a new “poem” is pure philistinism. Fight me.
