In other words, these are existing forms that you engage with and use, but this is not an act of plagiarism or repetition. Instead, through iteration (repetition) and variation, these 'strong forms' 'accumulate connotations' across the genre. They become richer, more complex.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Sapphic rom-com shenanigans in space anyone?

When a con-woman sets out to get revenge on the man that broke her sister's heart, her plan starts to unravel thanks to his unfortunately attractive sister & plot relevant Kosher Duck...

HATE that first draft feeling of KNOWING something is in the wrong place/badly written/doesn't make sense but also knowing i can't fix it until the draft is complete😡

August 30, A PRINCESS IN THEORY, Alyssa Cole.

A masterclass in contemporary romance that I re-read so regularly that I nearly fell apart in fangirlish delight when I was on a panel with Alyssa last weekend.

When I read posts I feel confused and unsettled but when I read a book I feel calm enjoyment. Ah well, time to read several hundred posts

Dudes love a podcast that claims it's telling you about how to attract women based on like, EVOLUTION.

But not a single one of them are giving the real mating advice that I have seen in the scientific literature!

Not a single dude has ever rolled me up a ball of dung at a bar and it shows.

Have not updated my "books I've read" thread in a hot minute because all the good books I've been reading lately have been part of series.

I will post about His Majesty's Dragon when I finish, though. I might post about it A LOT

Saw Dessa in Phoenix last night. Would recommend. Did my makeup for the first time in weeks just to ruin it crying uncontrollably.

i once asked at an interview if my pink hair is going to be a problem and was told "absolutely not, we don't discriminate based on gender or sexuality or anything"
The "we're a diverse company, Susan from accounting is a goth" thing doesn't even hit as a meme for me. I've done corporate IT, and many sites WILL in fact cite the fact that they don't make the desk jockeys remove their nasal piercings during work hours as proof of their commitment to diversity.

Is there any advantage an ereader has over reading ebooks on my phone?

I've been thinking about getting one but the slight reduction in eye strain doesn't seem worth having to remember to lug the thing around
