Hi everyone!
          	
          	I hope you are keeping well. I don't know how many of you guys are still around but I do have a question to ask. 
          	
          	What would you like to read in December/January?
          	
          	I'm taking short story requests and each story will be larger than 1k. I want to write for you guys and I don't really have an original story idea fleshed out well enough to offer it to you guys just yet. 
          	
          	So go wild! The story posted on the 1 December will be for World AIDS Day, if you are a writer, please consider writing a story to bring awareness to this day. AIDS is still a prevalent issue in many countries and communities. 
          	
          	I'm sorry for the subpar effort the last few years. I've been wanting to top "100 Memories of You and Me" with my next story, but am slowly realising that I need to let go of that misconception. 100MoYaM will always hold a special place in my heart. The characters of that universe have said goodbye to me years ago and I needed to come to terms with that (as weird as that sounds). 100MoYaM was a reflection of me three/four years ago. I have changed and whatever long piece I write next will reflect that change. 
          	
          	Thank you for getting to the end.  I know it is a lot of weird information at once. 
          	
          	All my love

"Silence is still an answer"
          Black Lives Matter if you think that they don't then please check your privilege and unfollow me. 
          
          Firstly: My profile page will have a link to campaigns you can sign for and donate to including a stream that you can watch on youtube where all proceeds go to groups and non-profit organizations for black lives: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ 
          
          Secondly: I want to ask you all to spend time educating yourselves about the struggles of black people. Especially if you are white or a non-black person of colour. We all benefit from racist systems in our countries and colourism in some way shape or form. Remember that privilege doesn't make your life easier it just makes it less difficult. Also, it is not up to the black people in your life to educate you. They are exhausted and working on overdrive. There are plenty of resources available on an internet search away.
          
          What is happening to black people isn't right or fair, whether it be in the past or now, and if anyone tells you anything else they are wrong! These protests are happening and if they do turn violent remember that it is the police/ armed security who react first to what starts off as something very peaceful. 
          
          Look at yourself and ask, "Is my privilege worth the lives of black people?" I hope to heaven your answer isn't "yes". Because that is what is currently happening.
          
          To all my LGBTQIA+ folk, Happy Pride Month!

Hey everyone
          
          I hope you all are having/had a good start to the week. 
          I know I haven't been active on here and truthfully that makes me sad.
          But when I sit down to write I'm just really angry at the kind of stories I tell at the moment. They seem repetitive and unauthentic to the experiences I want to take you on. 
          
          So I have a question I would like you all to answer: What is one thing you want to see in a story that hasn't been done/doesn't get done often enough?
          
          It can be anything, from a character to a theme.
          
          I want to write stories you want to read. So this would really help me figure out where my audience is in terms of that.
          
          I hope the rest of your week is amazing.
          
          Lots of love
          Dhrish xx

@CatherineMicqu and @bookworm_D That sounds so exciting for a fantasy.
