Exactly the same thing happened to me on Facebook

Hi Tim,

You requested a review of this decision, but we still found that your account, or activity on it, didn't follow our Community Standards. You can't request another review.

Still, looking on the bright side, that's the reason I ended up on Mastodon. It's probably done me a favour.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 3: Have you studied writing? Did it prepare you, or did you learn more by doing?

I'm an English prof, so yes, but 99% in the context of essay writing. I wrote loads of short fiction just off the top of my head, I took one fiction writing course online, and I pick things up here and there.

#WordWeavers Apr 3: For which characters do you come up with a backstory?

I haven't bothered with villains because fuck 'em.

So, wow, I had to answer 17 comments on AO3. Oh my goodness. So much love. I'm finally down to just one left to respond to later.

Life's been a bit too insane lately. Just for this month, I'm going to focus on the hashtag I run. I'll take a break but I'll be back with the other ones next month. Love y'all. It just puts a little less stress on me for the month. x

I took creative writing classes in college, but I was already writing by then. I've been writing and world building since I was a child.

I like the backstory to be emergent, especially for main characters. If it's important, it'll get mentioned somehow. If not, only I know it.

Time for a mini update.... My commissioned WIP is now up to 19k words. I'm so happy with the way it's turning out. I literally started it on 3/29.

AQUATICAL•LATIN

AQUATICAL•LATIN is an ongoing project investigating the etymology of the scientific names applied to aquatic species, particularly animals such as fishes and invertebrates. This site is intended as a resource for aquarists, naturalists, anglers, academics, divers, and anyone else curious about the meaning behind the names. In addition to the website there is a book:
