A small publisher rejected my Tam Lin retelling because of the similarities and I’m like, “you know the faerie tale is centuries old and has a lot of variations and overlap with other tales, right?” SJM’s plot resembles Beauty & the Beast, let me have my queer shapeshifter! 😭

Frens, bad news. I was on a great writing streak, but now I need to name minor characters before I write scenes including them. I want to decide now and not use placeholders. I kept saying I'd name them later and now present-me is mad at past-me about about it.

I will scream this from the rooftops. There is a huge disparity between women’s health studies compared to men’s and we need to change that.
Googling “why does my period make me feel ____” gets you three articles that Are like “while this phenomenon hasn’t been studied…” and 50 Reddit threads of women discussing identical symptoms and timelines who have taught themselves biochemistry

Ugh, I know. I wrote a novel and one of my favorite lines is "He howled along with me – his real laugh. I loved the way the sound resonated in my body, as if he were sharing his happiness with me." That's a kind of intimacy that just HITS DIFFERENT for me.

Getting rejected because my faerie tale retelling has similarities with another recent, popular retelling of the same story sucks. I truly feel mine’s different enough and restored the soul of the original tale. This hurts, but I hope my 🏳️🌈 version will find a home.

We always ask each other "What's the first line of your novel," but nobody asks what the 5th line on page 37 is.
I want to know what the 5th line on page 37 of your book is.

I'll jump in on this! "My Thorns For Your Roses" is my adult romantasy retelling in a similar vein to SS, FtW, and AtF. Complicated family dynamics of P & P x Emily Wilde's mix of dark and whimsical x JS&MN's faerie deals gone wrong.

fanfiction is born out of love and genuine excitement by a fan. it’s built on community, passion, deranged author’s notes. AI can’t understand emotion therefore
