Funnily enough, I've seen a couple of upcoming Pygmalion books that lean more horror. It'll be interesting to read them & see whether they're speaking to a fear of women having the agency to be angry
I think this is the key, isn't it? That the consequences of failing to fully understand the opposite gender are so imbalanced & thus the stakes in the two narratives will tend to lean away from each other
If you're looking for dark fantasy with
*warring Mage Houses
*monstrous god-kings from another realm
*queer disasters not exactly eating each other alive
*traumatised siblings and dysfunctional family
*bringing back the dead
*people making terrible life choices
then son I have you covered

Yeah the old sea wall sits at the top of the rocky shore. It's made up of people's garden/house walls & the steps leading to these wynds or gardens are the only access outwith the harbours
Photo of a wee cobbled lane between stone wall & gable wall, leading to the sea which lies silver blue and suspiciously calm
Photo from a different net wynd, showing the steep, narrow stone steps leading down to a rocky shore & that tricsky blue sea beyond
I love these old net wynds so much. They speak so strongly to the interweaving of community & sea
Wishing you a smooth surgery & quick recovery
I love them when they're right for the story, not so much when they feel forced or gimmicky. Trust your gut & go with it, if it's what your story needs, I reckon
Yes it is! How very lovely, lucky you!!

There is only one party in Scotland which is seriously in the fight to tax the rich, defend immigration as a public good, and fight for trans rights.
There's been a membership surge this week, be a part of it -
