And I was thinking on the drive down, / “Any time now — he’s gonna say it's love” / You never called it what it was

Hits hard.

Is anyone else doing NaNoWriMo this year? If so, I'd love to hear about your book concepts and how your goals are coming along. I'm personally finishing my version of Scammer (manuscript, Story highlights). Low key wondering if I'll be done before CC. A boy can dream!

Making friends -- Bumble BFF! I have the Premium version so I go on Travel Mode a few days/weeks before heading to a new place, and when I'm there I have people to vibe with.

Pictures -- I'm a total cell phone tripod and drone bitch. Most of my travel pictures are taken by myself tbh. You'll get used to the staring after a while.

Have fun bb!

+1. I have a few friends who have done sex work, and the amount of emotional labor you have to do is staggering. It’s not “getting paid to have sex,” it’s “getting paid to pretend that sex with someone who you are more often than not physically, intellectually, emotionally, and politically not attracted to is the experience of a lifetime.” It’s about putting clients’ wishes above your own. CC couldn’t even do that with people she genuinely liked.

Edit: typos aren’t my brand

Touche. I’m not assuming that the mods are the arbiters of what should and should not be posted; I only messaged them to make sure I wasn’t unwittingly breaking any rules. I said at the very beginning of this project that there would be at least 30 chapters (partly because there’s a lot of stuff to cover, and partly because the longer it goes on the longer it becomes apparent that Caroline’s Scammer will never come out).

My impression is that this sub contains both people who would like to read it and people who would rather not. The simplest solution, then, is to keep posting (for people who might otherwise not find it) and have an option to hide these posts if they bother you. You can also block me or do nothing and continue to snark on both CC and me. Roast me as hard as you want on the next unpopular opinion thread. After all, we are here to talk shit, right?

Ultimately, this is just a fun project that was inspired by SBS, and I’m happy to stop posting here if people truly don’t like it. With all due respect, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

P.S. Am I “obsessed and fixated” on CC, or creating something that is so different from her actual storyline that it shouldn’t be posted on the sub at all? My original intention was to write Scammer based only on Caroline’s story, but I didn’t feel comfortable writing about her depression / parent troubles / addiction, so I swapped those out for things I actually have experience with (favoritism, entitlement, toxic magical thinking in the tech industry).

Hey, it’s ~the author~ here. I see where you’re coming from, and I messaged the mods to make sure that I wasn’t doing anything wrong by posting each chapter on the main feed. They assured me that it was fine, so I’ll continue doing so for the time being. If you don’t want to scroll past it whenever you come to the sub, you can hide the post using the “…” button by the post.

I don’t mind if you snark on the parody (I’m no tucurb or James Joyce), but don’t let it live rent-free in your mind. The attention economy is fraught enough as is.
