I tried to listen to chapter 2 on your website but the sound kept falling out after a few seconds. Not sure whether it's just my problem alone. But I did get my second dose of Fitzy on Spotify. Yes, I am intrigued. :-)

Hmm… I’ll look into that. The mp3 is hosted directly on Neocities so it should have worked! I’m so glad you’re intrigued! It only gets more fun from here- oh and I’ve meant to read more Terry Pratchett… any recommendations?

I never missed an essay deadline or failed a course at uni, but for years after graduating I had recurring nightmares that I did. Anxiety can be a weird beast. Under lockdown here in Sydney at the moment. Strangely, I find keeping busy is keeping me happy. Hope you’re well. Stay safe

Thanks for the kind words. Anxiety is indeed a strange beast—I hope to encounter it less as I go into the next academic year, but it'll be difficult seeing as I haven't been there physically in a long time. Looks like a semi-lockdown's coming back here where I am in the US, too.

Given most novels are 1e4--1e5 words, your recommended review length is disgustingly long, nearing that of a book chapter. At what point does it more resemble a summary of the whole plot? ffs
lol imagine wanting to be edgy about a book review
