Aw, nothing to be embarrassed about, IMO! We overlook those errors in our own work because we've spent so much time staring at the same paragraphs over and over, the mind just glosses over things.

Precious!

And that's what I wish I encountered more often: sex (as a broad category) treated as another intimate, revealing aspect of character/story, not just a Romance Reward or Bonus or something Other. The varied forms of erotic intimacy let us express things that can't be expressed any other way. (2/4)

I feel this in my bones. I want to share at least a little, but SO much is tied to the story that I have to be vague and careful 😅

Terribly curious about the sort-of gods! 👀

Even the shape of civilization and its systems exist due to divine imperatives intended to protect the natural world from exploitation while still maximizing mortal flourishing. The gods were heavily involved in the shaping of society. (2/2)

Omg this is perfection

That's really smart. Most minds (mine included) tend to be biased toward prioritizing negative feedback, so balancing that out is crucial!

I'm comfortable reading any amount in theory as long as it feels like a natural extension of the characters and their dynamic.

The same is true in writing. The sex scenes between Grisira and Deleyora probably rate about 🌶🌶🌶🌶. They're passionate people in and out of the bedroom.

I love that you do this!

The realism of this is truly astonishing. Well done!!

Ooh, what a compelling sense of movement here. Beautiful!

💯 I need to know the rest of the story.

SO rude.

All of this is intriguing!

Curious!!
