Okay, here's my attempt at an #introduction!

Heya, I'm Fermata! I'm a demisexual mostly cis AFAB late-30s person who's been on the Fediverse for a long time. This is an anonymous alt account; my main account is elsewhere.

I'm here to talk about my #writing projects, and possibly about fandom stuff as well. Writing-wise, I'm working on an erotic Regency romance story, 80% of which is hella gay.  It doesn't quite have a working title yet, so I usually just refer to it as my "regency romance" or my "gay romance" story. I'll write a bit more about it in a reply for anyone interested.

Fandom-wise, I've gotten really into Japanese #otome visual novel games. :3 They're often silly and self-indulgent, but they also feature some excellent stories, wonderful characters, and a lot of heart. Favourites so far include #EvenIfTempest, #JackJeanne, and #VariableBarricade.

I'm also an #artist, and I'm only just starting to dip my toes into drawing smut/erotica/porn, so you may see some of that here, too. It'll likely be art of the main characters of my writing projects, but who knows where I'll go, haha!

EDIT: Oh, and I should also add: I'm #ChronicallyIll with an energy-limiting disease.  

So that's me! I'm excited to have a place to chat about my writing, blorbos, and other romance/erotica-related silliness. Feel free to follow, but make sure you're over 18.

That was fun. Started feeling lightheaded and woozy. Think I will be horizontal for the rest of the day.

#ChronicallyIll

Waiting room talk (in German):

„Maybe we should go to work.“ (instead of wasting time in the waiting room?!)

Me: „I can't work, unfortunately.“
„But you are still young.“
Me: „I am chronically ill and disabled.“
Looks me up and down. „I'm sure you can do something.“

And it kept going like that. Two able-bodied men explain to me that I am healthy enough to work.

Me: Yummy skyr with mirabelle jam and banana?
Stomach: sounds gooood!

Five minutes later, skry bowl in hand.
Me: Oh that looks so good!
Stomach: I'm noping out. You really thought you could eat breakfast?

Reading an article on craniocervical instability in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and its again connecting some symptoms logically, and it would be so nice if I had any kind of medical guidance. Instead, I have read scientific articles on my illness all the time to understand things.

I've had back pains since my youth. It's so fucking ridiculous that I always have to figure out everything myself.
