Hello! I hope someone is still here, it's been a while.
If that's so, and you're reading this, Thanks!
Apologies in advance for my English, I haven't had many occasions to practice in the last few months.
Short recap, since I'm using this as my public diary anyway:
I've finished my internship at the film production company, and I'm back to life. Quite literally. Holy shit, was that traumatizing.
I knew the television industry wasn't exactly healthy, particularly in Europe, where things like me too and cultural diversity are still quite behind.
But I had no idea. "Gay" wasn't a word in their dictionary. Neither was "Black". The F and N words were, definitely. Not to mention sexual harassment. Being female, bisexual, and in a relationship with a non-white person and at the very end of the power dynamic, it felt like that one particular scene for Inglorious Bastard, every lunch break.
Plus, there was the plotting, the constant, constant plotting. Trash talking, gossiping, power play, general fakeness, and lack of respect.
Basically, I got to experience office toxic mixed with entertainment's toxic.
The good news is, I found out the company I was at is actually pretty famous for this shit. So they might not be all like that.
The second good news is, that while I look for my next internship, I finally have the time and mental health to come back. For real, I hope :)
First things first: I will unpublish my stories. I just don't feel like that's my path anymore.
New form of payment will be... no payment!
(...unless you have Paypal...)
But I retain the choice of whether or not to review your book.
Thank you, if you've read this far!
- one last thing: I know I have A LOT of reviews bound, but I'll start with the update on the story of @HappyCoati, as she's asked me in private.
Plus, hers is one of my favorite stories ;)
