A few days ago I finished reading Julia Armfield's Private Rites, and it's stayed with me in a big way. A dread-laden, apocalyptic story of three queer sisters discovering their family's secret past in a drowning London that is slowly sinking beneath incessant rain.

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
