Per the first #TalesOfDread KS update, #MyTaleOfDread... well, there are many potential ones, but one freaky IRL tale was when I opened my front door one morning and there was a giant Tower on my front doormat.
Turned out @clericbard.bsky.social had left it there as a present without knocking.
IMDb says it was @jasoncharlesmiller.com; if he can't confirm, @thedeemogorgon.bsky.social or @andimtjrotell.bsky.social might know.

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.
It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.
Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.
But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.

The dead kangaroo that's been lying outside one of the houses on my street for ~5 weeks now has been reported to my local MP, who has passed the information on to my Upper House MP, a rep of whose office left me a voicemail saying it's on their radar.
The dead kangaroo is still THERE, mind you.
No worries! Romance is a very broad genre and, while I like those ones myself, there was no guarantee they'd hit for you.
My other thought based on the one that you named was the Phryne Fisher books but I don't recall how much they are romance versus mystery.
I'm part of a writing group that combines the public writing (well, used to) with the recluse aesthetic.

05.10.2025 01:53 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0If you like the idea of romance meets reality TV, moments of silly humour and amazing tenderness, and (in book 2) queerness, I recommend Jodi McAlister's Marry Me, Juliet series (jodimcalister.com.au/book-series/...).
I also recommend her An Academic Affair for (intelligent) dumbasses-to-lovers.

I'm yet to watch Long Walk. Knowing how that plays out in the book, I thought it would be safer to wait til I'm in a better mental space and have something to detox with.
Yeah, I knoooow. Also I know that S01E04 is going to make me cry because it does every single time. It's risky business.
