what does pride mean to you? | june 10th 2020

What does Pride mean to us? Pride isn’t just a party and a parade through the streets, it’s our identity, our community. Pride is having the freedom to be yourself and embrace who you truly are, to support others around you and create safe spaces for those who can’t always be their authentic selves. It’s giving people the confidence to come out, to speak out. Pride is having an archive full of works that celebrate every gender and sexuality, that explores diverse characters written by diverse au

Our Favorite Female Authors | March 12th, 2020

Welcome to the third installment of our 2020 Potpourri series! As we are a fanfiction site and March is Women's History Month, we felt nothing could be more fitting than talking about our favorite female authors. Some are well known authors in their genre, and others many of us were made to read in school. No matter how we discovered them, these women have made an impact in our lives and we would love to share with you a little information about who they are and why we love them so much.
