General info: if you see a post tagged #NEISvoid, this means No End In Sight void. It means the post is from someone with a chronic illness or disability that isn't going away. They're venting or seeking to connect with other people who also exist in this void.

Avoid responding to these posts with unsollicited advice or generic 'get well soon' messages - I know you mean well, but we know more about our conditions than you and the tag tells you that we're not gonna get well soon.

My listening through the embers of the year is the new 12-part BBC audio adaptation of Susan Cooper’s THE DARK IS RISING, with a new episode each day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp7

Writers are taught not to write wish-fulfillment—it's too easy, boring, or low stakes. But that reasoning is wrong. It only seems that way because we've all already read thousands of wish-fulfillment stories about cis het able-bodied white males, so they're very... predictable.

For every other demographic?

Readers actively, desperately crave wish-fulfillment stories about themselves, because they rarely if ever see them.
