a new substack essay about writing for the fan-made lesbian dating sim #heygirliegame (set in the world of dimension 20’s fantasy high), the parasocial tendencies of readers, and why i’ll never use chatgpt.

from all the girlies (gender neutral) at work on team gertie, see y’all at basrar’s 😉

these 2 bad bitched have been neck and neck for a week. as soon as I finish both, it’s sunrise on the reaping time.

Heavenly Tyrant is just scenes after scenes of “the worst man you know just made a really good point.”

had to dig up my uni notes on Russian Formalism to write this review of The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar (@tordotcom.bsky.social). enjoy! feidong.substack.com/p/defamiliar...

I’m starting this reading challenge where I 1) read Wizard of Oz 2) watch the WoO movie 3) read Wicked book 4) listen to Wicked OBC 5) rewatch Wicked Part 1, all before Wicked Part 2 comes out this year…

so excited for #CharlestonWriters25, hosted by @emmailene.bsky.social and @ariannasidd.bsky.social! i’m so grateful for the chance to meet more book lovers, to work on my project that’s part second chance love in a college town, part time travel / dystopian sci-fi.

Happy Valentine’s!

can’t BEElieve we’re only a few months away from Hey Girlie game release!

without giving away too many spoilers, i can promise that the Gertie route will be full of bees, honey, duelling, and (of course) puns!

'tis the season to squeeze in one last book to meet that annual reading goal. here are 24 books i thoroughly enjoyed in 2024.

you can definitely see my genre bias. i’ll read more non-fiction in 2025, i swear!

starred titles are nominees for 2024 hugo awards in glasgow, scotland.

i thought "motorcycle club" as a subcategory for a new BISAC romance code is quite specific, only to have my romance writer friend say it's a very popular trope. shows what i know about romance (which is nothing)!

yeah, yeah I get it, I can’t listen to anything else right now

trying very hard to make my end of year reading goal, one banh mi dinner at a time
