And it’s not because it’s unrealistic for some people to feel immediate attraction! It’s because the *audience* isn’t feeling it. They aren’t sold on these characters yet, and they don’t see what is driving the attraction. Physical good looks doesn’t cut it in shows where *everyone* is hot.

The Future As Advertised
#AugurMicros2025
@augursociety.bsky.social

Entry for Augur’s Microfiction contest. It reads:

The Future As Advertised
and tomorrow-and tomorrow-and tomorrow-echoes the jingle inside my head, a broken piece of a message I'll never fully hear.
I replay it, over and over again, waiting for the rest. I close my eyes, I try to sleep.
"Are you afraid?" A warm susurration, his voice over my head.
"I think I am."
"This isn't the first time the world ends."
and tomorrow—and tomorrow-and tomorrow—
The rest never comes. The waiting never ends. So I pick my own path-the sword, the pen, the claws. I sharpen myself. I rip the world in two.

Reading this makes it so clear to me why I struggle so much with cozy fiction. I LOVE cozy, I am /the/ target audience, and yet so many cozy fiction/romance books just feel like random scenes strung together by vibes and nothing else 😔

Happy Bookstore Romance Day! Treat yourself to a romance book (or five, no one’s judging here) and show your indie bookstores (especially ones that specialize in romance) some love! 💕🥰

A light purple background, complete with illustrated bookstore buildings, and large text in dark purple that reads, “Happy Bookstore Romance Day!”

We had the pleasure of sitting down for a quick chat with Simon Hintermann, better known online as Aurumek. We talked about his unique style, artistic vision, and a bunch of other things you might find interesting 🙂 buff.ly/rP2uZ4R

I now understand that this is the neurodivergent in me but I don’t trust people who don’t have a thing. What do you mean you don’t have a special interest you can give me a quick 15 on???? What does your brain DO all day if it’s not thinking about your thing????

sometimes I see books at B&N from authors who write concepts I love but in styles I don’t vibe with and I just nod at them solemnly, acknowledging our mutual regret that we’re not for each other 😔

"i keep trying your books even though i haven't liked any of them"-type readers: why?? i'll drop an author bc they made a weird post in 2015. i'll stop at ch.1 bc the syntax feels off. you have the dogged, indefatigable optimism that could lead social movements babe you're wasted on goodreads

in The Queen of Attolia, attolia quite literally cuts off eugenides’ hand, and somehow MWT still makes us believe in that romance. forever thinking about this and the pay off from authors pulling no punches with SKILL
