I saw the empty template and I had to.

I could go ON AND ON about the book that I actually managed to FINISH WRITING (a couple days ago).

It’s called Everyone’s Story But Her Own and I love the characters and the story so much and I know people don’t ask about it because it’s original work and nobody has read it (aside from Ellie) so they don’t know HOW to ask about it.

But if anyone wants me to ramble about it for days and days I will gladly take you up on it.

That being said I’m gonna take the opportunity to share the commissions I got from @lunchador of the main character (Astrid) and her love interest (Graham).

bold which applies to your muse, and italic those they might exhibit.
