everyone should read Tessa's @fansplaining.bsky.social essay! It's so so so so good and gets deeply into the nitty-gritty of writing original fiction and IP fiction and fanfiction. You will love it.

Over a photo from the panel, text reads Or Something #16: SCARY PLACES with the subtitle "A house is only as haunted as the people in it."

Over on substack we're talking about SCARY PLACES aka "Setting the Scene for Maximum Thrills" aka the panel I was on last week. It was so fun and I hope you love hearing more about HUMBOLDT CUT which is still available for preorder at the linktree in my biooooo 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
