The bunnies be plotting. ✍️ #plotbunnies
Facebook post by Alianne Donnelly:Yesterday I saw a blurb for a dystopian novel where the character needs to get his son before the virus gets him. I misread virus as 'virtue' and now I want to write a dystopian theocratic world where The Virtue rules all, and indiscriminately slaughters anyone who doesn't fit their narrative. The bunnies be plotting.
