i always do 30 questions about my biggest new fandoms, and given that i've been obsessed with the live-action one piece adaptation for the last... oh, month or so, i'd say it was about time. 😉

Near-future cities sealed under glass domes. Soul marks that decide who you’re meant to love. One doctor, one outlaw artist, and an unexpected destiny.

Souls in East City is a new adult queer M/M romance with a subtle speculative twist, arriving late 2026.

i don't consider MBTI personalities actual science, but i'd be lying if i say i don't find the whole concept of it fascinating from a sociological perspective… hence why i go on spirals about it from time to time. exhibit A: this video. 😅

a few days ago, the wall street journal published an investigative piece offering insight on marvel studios' woes over the past few years of the MCU, and detailing what's being done to change that. but there's still one thing that's bothering me…

"enemies to lovers" has taken the romance fiction world by storm over the past few years, but in my opinion, not every book labeled that way is the same-- or is for everyone.

a quick elegy to one of my favorite shows, young royals (ended just this past march after three seasons), and how losing a show we're super invested on can be like losing a part of our life.

to start my new "medium-sized bites" series, i talk a little about writing with flashbacks, and why it's easier said than done.

Happy Pride Month, everybody!

I'm always looking to do my part in bringing more queer representation and queer stories into the world, from my little corner of the publishing industry.

So for the entire month of June*, I am offering a 25% DISCOUNT on all developmental edits, proofreading, or beta reading on manuscripts that center LGBTQIA+ themes and/or characters.

If your novel includes positive queer representation and requires any of these services, now's your time to get them!

In addition, FreakingNarnia.com also offers science consulting and review, as well as English-Spanish translation at regular rates. We still have available slots in June and onwards, so be sure to secure your place.

Having some trouble nailing down the science of a major plot point? Need some reassurance that your story will be appealing to readers and there are no glaring plot holes? Want to spruce up your manuscript so that it's at its highest potential for querying? Ever wondered if your characters sound just as cool "en español"?

FreakingNarnia.com offers a wide range of editorial services, from science consulting to developmental editing to proofreading, and I (Carla, your friendly neighborhood massive nerd of an editor 🤓) am ready to help you transform your novel into the best version of itself.

*** new young royals episode reaction up on my patreon! ***

i live!! =D yes, i'm back FINALLY with the reaction for episode 6 of season 2 of young royals, and let me tell you, it's a fun (and LONG!) one.

WARNING: you might want to wear headphones to watch this one, and if you do, make sure you keep your volume on the low-ish side. there is much screeching, especially toward the end. xD

it is up EXCLUSIVELY on my patreon, so be sure to subscribe if you want to watch this as well as the rest of the season (or if you're coming from youtube and would like to see the untagged versions of the first two). just follow the link below, as that's where they'll be posted exclusively.

http://patreon.com/FreakingNarnia

ALSO, IMPORTANT: you'll hear in the video that i wanted to do a follow-up review video or maybe do a live on youtube to discuss the season with other fans. obviously i didn't get to do that, but if anyone's interested in a live video still, do let me know! i think it would be fun not just to discuss this season with you all, but also to speculate about what season 3 might bring. if that sounds fun to you, please do chime in. =)
