I was 15. It was Death Note. I saw the sun seeping in through the curtains at 4am and knew I'd doomed myself to an exhausting day at school. (But honestly? I think it was worth it.)28 Apr 2026 23:40 +0000at://did:plc:pda5fwavdbjbbsrl7xhbm6bz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mklr3juqak2chttps://bsky.app/profile/kybettie.bsky.social/post/3mklazl7anc2xJust preordered my copy of The Red Sacrament by @boneysoups.bsky.social (so excited!!) along with a copy of The Fan Fiction Studies Reader (@transformativeworks.org), which I just know is going to be a treat.28 Apr 2026 18:53 +0000at://did:plc:pda5fwavdbjbbsrl7xhbm6bz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mklazl7anc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/kybettie.bsky.social/post/3mk3djrobxk23I think the best you can really do is write earnestly. It won't always be good. It won't always be exactly what you intended. But if it's earnest, if you love it and you aren't ashamed to love it, you'll have written something you can be proud of.22 Apr 2026 10:55 +0000at://did:plc:pda5fwavdbjbbsrl7xhbm6bz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3djrobxk23https://bsky.app/profile/kybettie.bsky.social/post/3mjzgogzuj22bHi! I'm Holly, and I write things. Hang about for queer & Gothic horror about vampirism, chronic illness, late-stage capitalism and the UK's seaside towns.

Maybe it's a silly thing to say about a ghost story but I feel haunted.
