Cover art for Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic by WhatMurdah.

Inspired by Penguin Classics covers.

I’ve loved dhr for years but on god panville has me obsessed and on my knees like no other

Character A calls all the shots in public while Character B has a chokehold on her in private - ABSOLUTE CINÉMA.

“She hesitated, her mouth twisting. He waited while she decided. This was as far as he’d go. He wouldn’t force a witch who wasn’t willing. Then, she picked up her handbag and followed him.”

I was absolutely honored to make an author copy of Dirty, Flirty and Vindictive for WhatMurdah. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us!

As well as a gift for @ivmaruva and a trade with Michelle for the coolest Kindle book sleeve with a wand ribbon closure (peep the last pic). While I enjoyed Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic, I absolutely ADORED Neville and Pansy’s side story in it. So, when I saw 👀 they were getting their own story? to say I was elated is a gross understatement. 🥳

I followed along with DFV as a WIP and practically broke my screen mashing the notification email links🔗. This story has it all. Devoted, DBE badass plant 🌱 daddy Neville Longbottom who’s hunting down Death Eaters, a Pansy Parkinson who finally has a safe space to grow and blossom, electric conversation and high-stakes action.

Typeset and cover by moi Quote page art by @cocotamarindo Title page art by @mina-logan

Pansy in couture vellum inserts and front endpage by @annagaw. There also are some NSFW (and SFW) inserts by @artofcrumbs. And an Easter egg 🥚 insert which I gleaned from the story comments on AO3. 😳

I contemplated many versions, but ultimately decided upon this cover with a ton of Easter eggs, printed on lustre photo paper and covered with 1-mil soft touch laminate. It’s literally wrapped with vines to honor Hogwarts Herbology Professor/Nursery Owner Neville.

WhatMurdah is a genius incorporating delicious sights and smells into the story. Pansy wears a specific perfume for which I found Botanical prints to weave into the typeset: Coffee, Vanilla, Jasmine, Patchouli and Orange Blossoms, plus others reflecting story elements. They have their coordinating chapter and page number at the top. I also purchased a small bottle of the perfume and spritzed the book. 👃🏼

Glued double-fan method and used an Oxford Hollow to support the spine.

I tweaked my BSP typeset to match and will be remaking it soon. Dirty, Flirty and Vindictive is available to read for FREE on AO3.
