Chapters 1 (pt 1 + 2; pt 3) and 2 (pt 1 + 2 + 3; pt 4 + 5) are uploaded and ready for feedback. The remaining chapters and epilogue will be posted over the next couple weeks, with Chapter 5 and the epilogue being uploaded no later than April 13th.
I would like to get at least twenty people to beta read this novella. If you’re interested in reading an urban supernatural/paranormal suspense novella about a university student, the child ghost who haunts her home, and the trouble their friendship causes, then please sign up!
(Link will take you to the sign-up form on BetaBooks)
I would love to have the beta reading process complete by June 30th so Eloise can be polished up for publication later this year.
Tagging almost everyone who ever expressed interest under the cut ^.^
(If I didn’t tag you, it’s cause Tumblr wouldn’t let me)
#oh hey the author of that one Tumblr tale is expanding it into a novella? #I don’t think I have the time/energy to help beta it but I’ll keep an eye out for publication #signal boost #recs #Eloise #ghost
Mel Baggs, a visionary autistic writer and advocate, has died. Mel was a pillar of the autistic community; ASAN, and neurodiversity as we know it today, would not exist without hir. We are heartbroken. Our thoughts are with Mel’s loved ones.
Over the last few years, Mel documented hir struggles with a service system that would not meet hir independent living needs. ASAN was working with Mel on this issue. It is a massive systems failure that Mel’s needs went unmet in hir last years. Sie deserved so much better.
We don’t know yet what caused Mel’s death. We do know that hir legacy will live on. Mel shaped the way our movement advocates for the rights of autistic and developmentally disabled people, and hir work will continue to do good in the world for decades to come. You can read Mel’s groundbreaking writing here and here.
Thank you, Mel. You will be so, so missed. Rest In Power.

AU where Zuko realises very early into his banishment that he’s been sent on a hopeless goose chase and, actually, he doesn’t want to return to the oppressive Fire Nation and his abusive father. And he sticks with this decision even after Aang wakes up from the iceberg
Except then Aang meets Zuko – probably when Zuko jumps in to save someone, because his sense of justice is too strong to just sit back while someone is hurt, even if he is trying to remain apolitical – and his brain goes “!!!!” Because that’s a good firebender. They do exist. And now Aang knows someone who can teach him firebending without trying to kill him
Except Zuko wants nothing to do with the Avatar. He especially doesn’t want to get entangled with his father’s war. So the rest of the season is about Zuko running from the Avatar, and Aang and co trying to capture the reluctant ex-Prince of the Fire Nation so he can be Aang’s firebending teacher
The Gaang ends up stopping by the tea shop one time not realizing it’s Zuko and Iroh’s ship and spot Zuko but Zuko is like “this is the busiest time of day on our busiest days at one of the busiest ports. I do NOT have time for this.” So he plays dumb. Like really dumb.
Toph, who knows he’s lying but is an agent of chaos: Lee? I remember you! You came to visit my town a few times. Do you still carry that lovely Jasmine tea?
Katara: Toph isn’t your town landlocked?
Toph: Yes, your point?
Katara: This tea shop is a giant naval vessel??
Zuko, panicking: THIS VESSEL CAN FLY
Toph: Yes, exactly.
Sokka: …Katara, let it go. Let’s just get our tea and get out of here before Aang finds out that–
Aang, sprinting over to them: ZUKO?
Toph, without missing a beat: No, this is Lee, humble tea server who got his scar in a wild tea accident.
Aang: What? No it’s not, it’s–
Toph: I can tell when people are lying Aang. Are you calling me a liar?
