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

I love these old net wynds so much. They speak so strongly to the interweaving of community & sea

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

Hey @wendychambld.bsky.social I really hope you're fighting against this wholesale theft of Scottish creative labour in obesiance to American tech companies?
