the moral of the story is that there’s no such thing as a truly nice person

Stylistic changes: the title font now matches the font I’m going to get my next tattoo in. Because In the Dark is the madness I want to give into before I die. That’s a bit off topic really. I’m also monkeying with some chapter titles. Some.

Fucking name drops the title of the last book in the prelude of the first because WHY THE HELL NOT it wasn’t like I didn’t have enough foreshadowing already!!

Can I just say that trying to write from the third person plural perspective of the souls of the damned beyond redemption who think in an animalistic hive mind and experiencing emotions for the first time is freaking hard and man, yes, the Prelude did need work, it was way too much of saying the same thing in fancier and fancier ways but god damn, I deserve credit for even trying to write it, let alone actually making it work in context!

So as I was not shortlisted for that competition, I thought I might give In the Dark a slight revamp (pun definitely intended) again, and this may end up in me liveblogging it. In fact, it is going to be me liveblogging it. Y’all shouldn’t have followed me if you didn’t want me to talk about ItD.

This is the absolute worst one, why did I have to think of this at like 2.30 am, fuck, fuck, literally this stopped me sleeping, fuck, what is this backstory, this is horrible, but it wasn’t a “I can sweep that aside, go home Rowan, you know nothing”, it was an absolute revelation and it was really upsetting oh my GOD I hate writing. I hate it so much.
