Hi! I'm Holly (she/her/it/its). I’m a queer femme horror writer based in the UK. This is my scrapbook.
About Me:
- I got my BA in Creative Writing and my MA in Victorian Gothic, and I love to chat about both.
- My current full-time job is being chronically ill. I may post about this sometimes under #chronic health tag.
- My general chatting tag is #the bat chats.
Current Projects:
- An untitled vampire novel still in its early stages
- Burn Me Like A Page. This is the sequel to Break Me Like A Pattern, my gargantuan Magnus Archives fic which reimagines Michael Shelley as the Archivist.
- An essay on the figure of the vampire as fashion icon, for Blood & Brocade: an IWTV charity fanzine.
- Various short stories, poems, and other plates spinning in the background. Discussions of my writing are tagged #my writing.
Housekeeping:
- I'm an intersectional feminist and I want this blog to be a safe space for trans folks. TERFs will be blocked on sight.
- I don't reblog donation posts, so please don't ask me to reblog yours.
- I have a tag system, though I've yet to make a page explaining it. If there's anything you want me to tag, shoot me an ask and I'll see what I can do.
- My asks are always open, and I don't bite! 🖤
