Me: this is just gonna be a short story for this character to have their background story all covered to develop their personality
Also me:
Thanks for all the responses— will respond to the rest after I’ve slept
I honestly just came back and sifting through everything so hoping to avoid as I go 😅
Thank you for the recs!
May I message you?
Thank you!
You’re the best, thank you 🫡
Any of y’all have recs where to find a good artist for character art? I got one piece that’s itching my brain and alas I draw like a kindergartner who just discovered that they can draw with more than just the blue Crayola crayon. So I must outsource to those superior to me.
Lady Violet Bridgerton is hot and I’m not afraid to say it
I’ll be publishing backstories for every crew member, which is a total of 30
We currently have four backstories complete, working on number five now.
Hey!!
I’m currently working on backstories for my pirate crew for a WIP historical fiction novel, with a wee side of fantasy. Currently you can read them for ✨free✨ on my Patreon if you like queer pirates and their shenanigans
I have other writing there as well!

I’ll be at the Edinburgh International Book Festival for two writing workshops, but I have a large gap between the two so I’ll be floating around. Feel free to say hi if you’re there and you see me!

Yesterday's Grand Slam Final was nothing short of phenomenal. Every poet left it all on that stage in a spectacular showcase of the power, poignacy, and range of spoken word poetry. Thank you so much to all of our slammers, and congratulations to our new 2025 Loud Poets Champion Aditya Narayan!
This was the first slam I ever attended and I had an absolute blast. Everyone was brilliant! Can’t to see more in the future 🥰
Hi, y'all! I am once again starting a GFM; this time to help me with my PhD continuation year costs.

I'm posting this on all my social media platforms (even the ☠️ ones), so apologies if you've seen this already.
Oh, hey. TIDAL CREATURES is out in paperback today! If you want a book about weird alchemy, found family, moon deities around the world, academic politics, the destructive applications of peach trees, lesbians, and the Impossible City, this is the book for you.

The cover of the book When We Were Killers by C.F. Barrington. There are neon pink flowers in the background of the wording and the cover is black.
Here’s what I’m gonna be reading during my breaks and with my morning coffee. It feels illegal for me to not be reading a dark academia book set at my uni. So off I go.
Finally made a #BookTok account. It’s authoraneirin on the Clock App if y’all want to find me 🥰
A lovely goober 🫶🏻
I have the advantage of having lotsa people in my brain 🤣
It’s National Puppy Day. Please show me your dogs 🐕
Academic: two big things (PhD is the biggest obvi)
Extracurriculars: many dance such wow music vocals go wheeee
That’s how the extra stuff is going 😂
She said my breath control was better than every student at the uni she’d met — breath control used to be my BIGGEST ISSUE
Now we’re working on my diction (I tend to drop the end of my words in a phrase) and confidence but 😭😭😭 my soprano end of my voice is a professional now 🥰
More good notes from my new vocal instructor where I legitimately almost teared up:
“Your higher register is already at the professional caliber, but we need to work on your lower notes.” Okay I can do that! BUT EXCUSE ME PROFESSIONAL??? AHHH
“You have incredible breath control.”
Thank you! I’m overall alright just very stressed due to ✨deadlines✨
