I don't have too many WIPs right now, but here's a little bit from an original story that I tinker with sometimes: --- When Reggie approaches her on the docks, he strides with that same arrogance that she knows leaves many of her followers saying he has no right to act the way he does around her – as if he’s equal to a goddess. But Hedone is quite literally hedonism. What the others don’t realise is that she would choose Reggie over them and their simpering any day of the week.

I also included manga, graphic novels and comics. Because who's going to stop me? The fun police? And sure, I know there are people out there who read more than this in a single month probably, but for me, I'm proud of what I've achieved I won't be keeping a list next year (though I will still be reading), because I worry that if I turn this into a thing it'll kill my desire to read again. But for this year, here's the list of stuff wot I read:
