Inktober never really inspires me, but I do love the concept of drawing prompt lists- so I made my own! #Fantober2024

I need an excuse to draw some fun, self-indulgent art!! It's literally been years. I hope some of you will join me~

Resources for Writing Sensitive Topics

As always, when writing about sensitive topics/injuries/illnesses, we encourage everyone to research and tag works appropriately. This is to ensure that the whump community can remain a safe space for everyone, as well as assist writers in creating well-informed works that avoid offending people and stereotyping, romanticising, or sensationalising hard topics.

Below are some links to resources we and others found useful - we'd like to thank the wonderful members of our community for helping us with finding great resources.

writer’s block isn’t real, it’s just your characters deciding to go on strike because they’re mad about how you’ve been treating them
