66.6 Fathoms Down
There was only one rule: don't open the door. It should have been easy to follow, given that the door in question was at the bottom of the North Sea, but nothing was more tempting than a sign saying "Do Not Touch".

Bluebeard
There was only one rule: Don't open the door. Her lord husband had been very clear: she could enter any room in the castle... except the blue door at the far end, opened only by the smallest key.

Shrouded In Mists
The river ran backward on the day the Queen vanished. That, at least, was as it should have been, even if the Queen's absence was not.

The Ghosts of Netherfield
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. The door in question was an out-of-the-way one, with seemingly no purpose, near the entrance to the servants stairs.

Colin Bridgerton: Demi-Romantic Representation
. I've written before about Bridgerton, for all it's flaws, doing good things in terms of representation. I'm not the only one talking about that, but there's one thing that I'm not sure anyone else has actually noticed, something that I honestly never expected to see in a Romance show.

The Locked Door. Top Story - October 2024.
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. The rule dated back generations, to when the only actual buildings in the area were lean-to shacks, and the door was the most solid thing around. The buildings were stronger, now; stone and steel and concrete, but the old doors remained, ancient oak banded with iron.

Headcanons
I've been writing fanfiction for a long time. As I mentioned in my other Representation entry, I didn't grow up seeing myself represented in Media. On the rare occasion that I did see Autism, or Asexuality, represented, it was usually as a caricature, or the punchline of a joke, or a problem to be solved. Other times, as diversity became a popular thing to include, it would be shown as an excuse for poor behaviour, or, more rarely, as Inspirational(TM), to make a character more impressive for having already overcome their hurdles due to their Special Interest being seen as valuable, like Rain Man or The Good Doctor.

Why Media Representation Matters . Runner-up in Represented Challenge. Top Story - September 2024.
My journey as an independant author began, at least in part, because I never saw myself represented in media. Oh, there were characters I loved, certainly. Some characters that I could relate to, a little, in one way or another.

Stream of Consciousness?
Write in a Stream on Consciousness What Neurotypical non-sense is this? That isn't how my brain works. It was, when I was a child

Why The Duke Isn't Coming Back
Every other day, it seems, someone in the Bridgerton Fandom posts something about wishing that Rege-Jean Page would come back to Bridgerton.
