scream of consciousness

Hello all, I’ve had to hide Exceeds Eggspectations, as I rewrote it for a novel competition and I was worried they’d do a plagiarism check and think I’d plagiarised parts of my own fic. The new novel is 10k longer and has a totally different setting, new characters, new magic system, etc. It’s quite different, but there are sections the same as the fic (mostly Meggan, lol).

ARCs are printed and sent out. The first instagram post of someone unboxing the promo pack is out there in the world.

Preorder link! It’s a NZ online retailer that will send overseas but the shipping is probably more than the book. You can wait for the kindle edition!

The international rights haven’t sold yet, so you can only buy it from NZ or Aussie retailers. Australia might have better shipping but I have no links for them yet.

We have an Amazon (boo-hiss) preorder link for the Aussies. Still only paperback, no kindle yet:

https://www.amazon.com.au/Tim-Maro-Subterranean-Heartsick-Blues/dp/1760508756/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781760508753&qid=1620034205&s=books&sr=1-1

Buuuuut we also have ANOTHER, LESS CUNTY OPTION

Three bits of news!

One I don’t know if I’m allowed to share yet!

Two is: the e-book will be released on the same day as the paperback, July 28 2021!! YAY. No idea why it isn’t available for preorder yet, I’ll keep checking back at Amazon.

If you’re in NZ or Aussie, next time you walk past a bookshop, please feel free to stop in and ask if they have ordered it… I mean, feel free to do this whichever country you’re in – maybe we can hint to the publishers and distributors overseas that they should call my publisher and BUY IT.

Third thing: I am now an official ‘Goodreads Author’. You can go ask me questions and follow me so I don’t look like Nigel No-Mates. If you want. No presh. AGAIN, try and avoid making reference to the fic, in case some overprotective parent is googling and comes across a plethora of smut.

In general it’s doing quite well in Aussie. NZ went it to a book less lockdown a few weeks after it was published though, so… yeah.

Hello! Here's the second part of the poetry reclist series! Part 2's recs are all by me, featuring more works written as specific types of poems. Banner is by the lovely @getawayfox! Find Part 1 here

Trochaic octameter:

Once Upon a Midnight Drarry by @mxmaneater (T, 1155) (Draco/Harry)

"Once upon a midnight Drarry, while I penned some snark from Harry..."

Yeah, I'm not kidding. I rewrote all 18 stanzas into a Drarry short - come read some meter and boys kissing!

Ballad:

Peeves’ Ballad by @mars-bar81 (T, 217) (Draco/Harry)

Peeves witnesses something interesting during the night...

Acrostic poem:

A Map Of Us by @peachpety (T, 332) (Draco/Harry)

For Drarry Drabble Challenge, August, 2021. Prompt: "Hold My Butterbeer."

[POETRY] Sonnet: "You bathed with Luna, too fatigued to care" by @julcheninred (NR, 106) (Hermione & Luna) (CW: Implied/Referenced Torture)

Hermione and Luna share a rough first night at Shell Cottage.

[POETRY] Sonnet: "They sent us to the greenhouses today" by @julcheninred  (NR, 105) (Draco/Harry)

There's nothing like a big whomping thunderstorm to clear the air.

Pantoum:

heartstrings/concentric by @softlystarstruck (G, 182) (Draco/Harry)

Ouroboros, eating my own tail,

circling around my affection;

afraid to cough it up at his feet, yet

terrified that the words will never come.

[POETRY] Pantoum: "The air is thick. I’m sweating through my clothes" by @julcheninred (G, 152) (Draco/Harry)

Draco contemplates the subtle science and exact art of brewing metaphors.

Mixed/Others:

The Thing I Hate About You by @diligent-thunder (M, 1030) (Draco/Harry)

An epistolary of a poet and his future lover, in which Draco is annoyed, Harry is a messy little shit, Blaise is a Bad Friend, and shit goes down in a flood of gin and hot chips. Ultimately, Draco laments his inability to master his heart, and oh so dramatically falls apart.

[POETRY] Terza Rima: "...Then Pansy threw a snowball at your head" by @julcheninred (NR, 107) (Draco/Harry) (CW: Grief/Mourning)

Crabbe's birthday is difficult for Draco.

In general it’s doing quite well in Aussie. NZ went it to a book less lockdown a few weeks after it was published though, so… yeah.

The Español version was released last week in Spain and Argentina at least (I got tagged in Insta posts)!

Thank you to all the Spanish speaking readers who’ve been so lovely on Instagram 🥰🥰🥰 You guys are amazing!

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NORTH AMERICANS

Tim and Elliott will be available in Canada and the US on the 1st of January 2023!

It’ll probably get banned immediately in some states, possibly burned, but California should be fine? Get it shipped from there?

Andrew Garfield as Spiderman #2: 

Tim Te Maro and the subterranean heartsick blues - H.S. Valley

All your classic fanfic tropes are here - enemies to lovers, bed sharing, secret boyfriends, bonding magic, the posh one will only refer to the stubborn one by his last name, snarky friends, a lil bit domestic fluff, a lil bit crack, a whole lot of kissing, drunk courage, and mutual pining by idiots who don't communicate.

Title: The Crane Lord of Gringotts Artist: @crazybutgood Media: Origami and harvested vines Author: @vukovich Length: 31k Rating: Explicit

“Draco?” “Hm?” His placid expression can’t hide the flush in his cheeks or his darting eyes. “Can I kiss you?” It’s eons and milliseconds before Draco draws a breath to answer, and a bead of water makes its way from his hair, down his forehead, to dangle off his nose just above Harry’s face. “If you mean it.” Harry swallows twice and lets his hands slide up Draco’s chest, into his soaked hair. “I mean it.”
