honestly fuck whatever 2021 was because William "I'm A Mess" Anson has my whole heart
One Everything at Keele is uphill. I bow my head against the early afternoon rain as I march up the main road through campus, stomach empty and brain buzzing. I just left a meeting about my final ever medicine student placement and I feel fizzy, like a shaken bottle of pop.

CANDY NECKLACES

I was really onto something with Lilley as a narrator, dang.

This was a Kickstarter exclusive mini-book but I'm considering (deeply) listing some copies to raise money for an abortion charity I love. Watch this space!

Not Quite Out re-read thread:

I'm starting 2026 with a comfort re-read of my own debut novel because I'm nearly 30 and I don't see why I shouldn't.
Pining. So much pinging. University setting Super slow burn robbed Only one bed but the characters are anxious Coming out is difficult and scary Gay (ace but doesn't know it yet) love interest Chaotic bisexual main character

Psst if you've got one of the new editions of Marshmallows could you send me a pic? 🙏 research purposes!

(If you didn't realise there's a new edition and fancy grabbing it, here's a link! relinks.me/B0FGYG1LK1)
Dan takes a tight handful of the back of my coat and holds me in place, kissing me like he doesn't care we're in the centre of campus. 'Tag your porn Dan,' Lilley groans. A mock-up of a book called marshmallows by louise willingham featuring a blue background and an illustration of a mug of hot chocolate with a scattering of marshmallows. Behind the book is a paste bisexual pride flag

We're almost at the end of #NotQuiteOut! Is it bad that the ending of my novel is my favourite part?

Today was a beautiful (if heartbreaking) day. I'm so glad I was able to say goodbye to Matt, even though I'm angry it happened so soon.

Keep sharing memories and stories of his, because #MGMasonRocked and it was a privilege to call him my friend.

Ahead of his funeral, I took one of @chaoticauthor.online 's books down to the beach. I also listened to one of his podcasts, where he reminded me of the importance of art and creativity.

Miss you, Matt. #MGMasonRocked

This was a hoot!

Some of these placements are a bit iffy but Harry, Dante, Griff, Teddy, and Bowie are FIRMLY in these alignments. (Griff can't help it; he's a demon.) Dante jumps between neutral and chaotic evil and I think this placement for Harry is really interesting. (Harry is the MC)
