C.P. Cavafy, The Window of the Tobacco Shop (1907)

Nearby the illuminated window

of a tobacco shop they stood, in the midst of

many others.

Quite by chance their glances happened to meet,

and timorously, hesitantly expressed

the illicit longings of their flesh.

Later, on the pavement, a few nervous steps –

until they smiled, and nodded very faintly.

And afterward the closed carriage…

the sensitive nearing of their bodies;

the hands as one, the lips as one.

Maurice, a triumphant classic that still has plenty to say – theatre review

expo63:

‘Inventive and animated direction from James Wilby – who played
Maurice in the 1987 film – ensures that this classic tale never feels
dusty or staid. … Forster himself would be justifiably proud to witness this
delicately playful interpretation of his work. … Refined, reflective, and ultimately triumphant – Maurice is a
superbly accomplished telling of a classic tale, and is not to be
missed.’

HEY! How are you? I was wondering are there any Johnlock fanfics inspired by Call Me By Your Name?

Hi Lovely!

I… actually don’t know! I feel like I’ve seen one come across my dash at some point, or someone mentioned that they were writing an AU about it? Hmm. Does anyone know for sure?

These two by @alexaprilgarden are beautiful!

Hey writers! Everyone has their own style and yours is great. Some people’s writing is lush and descriptive and emotional, others are sparse and sleek and powerful, and others still are fast-paced and immediate and visceral. They all have their merits. No style is better than another. It’s all fine.

And! Not all of your pieces have to be one particular style either. Just because your last work was meandering or slow or heavy doesn’t mean your next can’t be sharp or quick or light. Don’t beat yourself up because you aren’t doing what you did in the last thing you wrote. That was a different piece, required a different mood. Do what works for you. Do what works for this story. Don’t worry about what others do or what you’ve done before.
