As we made our way into the city, the greenery gave way to apartment complexes. Clusters of satellite dishes mushrooming from the sides of the buildings were the only sign of life.
A coworker once stamped her feet and exclaimed, “I was into vampires before Twilight. I bet these kids have never even heard of Buffy.”
I, of course, replied. “I was into vampires long before Buffy.”
She horrified me, by telling me that she had been in middle school when Buffy came out.
I can’t say what got me started. I remember growing up, loving all things vampire and werewolf. Everything from…

Please reblog to increase data size. Please also add how long you think it would take and why.
Just a little story, my roommate pointed out that it would be good for Valentine’s Day
“So, I think I’m ready to start dating again.”
Sitting in the small café with my best friend, felt almost normal. We were sipping cappuccinos out of those tiny cups. Well she was having a cappuccino, I was pretending. Coffee was one of those things that I didn’t do any more. Not since Brad.
“Are you sure about…

That moment when one of your MCs makes a decision you hadn’t planned on and now you both have to live with the consequences of her actions
Hey! I’m gonna assume you guys like using Tumblr correct? What about AO3? TikTok? Or any other platform that fandom spaces thrive? Then you need to give a fuck about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
KOSA is a act currently being talked about in congress that is labeled as a act that prevents minors from seeing 18+ content. It being labeled as that seems okay and good, yes, but that’s not what this bill is about.
KOSA, if put in place, will make so the attorney general of each state gets to pick which platforms will be banned in their state. And this doesn’t been censorship of minors, this means censorship of everyone of ALL AGES.
“My attorney general wouldn’t ban this sites.” Yes, they might not. But don’t think about yourself right now. MILLIONS of people will be without spaces to escape too. Millions of people will be without access to websites that allows them to talk to people. Millions of queer people wouldn’t be allowed on to places they were originally welcomed.
“Okay? But they’re only trying to ban nsfw content?” And what do all republications see as nsfw? Queer people. Especially trans people.
KOSA is just another bill that will allow nation wide bans on topics such as sex, gender, sexuality, and more. This act does nothing more except erase queer people from online spaces, and further pushes the anti-trans beliefs (and genocide) circling our country right now.
Y’all need to give a shit about this bill like you should still be giving a shit about the RESTRICT ACT (which still hasn’t been turned down yet btw).
This act opens the door from any site such of tumblr and quotev to be banned, to YouTube if your AG doesn’t like it for ANY reason. And don’t forget, VPN’s can only do so much, and the government already wants to ban those.
What can you do? CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS REPS. EMAIL THEM. I don’t give a shit, all I care about is this bill that doesn’t speak for the people getting blocked and not being put in place. Bills like this further push our nations descent into facism. And if there’s a way to prevent that, we better fucking do it.

Actors always say that being themselves, is the hardest role to play. I think the same can be said for me. Fiction comes easy for me, as I slip into the mind of my characters. Getting into my own head however, is a completely different story. Every few months I decide that I really have too many things to say.
So I log into livejournal or wordpress and I try to get my thoughts organized. I sit…

The Pixie and the Tiara
This weeks writers prompt came from a tweet “There’s a girl on my flight carrying a very fancy tiara in a box.” I made it to 2000 words but I was a day late. Which means I’ll do a second story sometime this week. “This will be the most important delivery, you’ve ever made.” “What is it?” Fairy Godmother stepped back revealing what sat on her desk. Teeny gasped. “That’s not a wish.” Teeny was the…
