Warm cozy sapphic stories are my refuge, and I find slow burn romance irresistible. A first kiss that takes up most of a book? Deep yearning? Misread signs, near misses? If it's wlw I'm all in. Yes, I'm an unapologetic fan of sapphic romance. It warms my heart and brings me joy. What's not to like?

I created a profile here to make and share my first card. I'd like to say I made it for you, cause of my generous personality, but that's not quite true. In truth, I made it for myself. My chaotic life doesn't always live up to imagination, and certainly doesn't fit the pattern of a wlw novel. So I made something I'd enjoy. A cozy place of refuge, the kind of queer hangout I'd love to have just down the street from me, walk in and just fit right in without explanation, without apologies. Without overthinking it. A nearby sapphic bookstore, like this one, populated with women I find adorable. That's something missing in my life. But no more. So that's the reason for the first card. Now I've also done my second, Frances, an adorable older woman who I also find irresistible.

Finally, in case you're curious, let me tell you where I'd be found in this bookstore. By section, romance. Of course. But by persona, I'm a little bit like Phoebe, constantly overthinking, going in circles with a mind that doesn't shut off properly, even when it should. In a place like this, messy, unfiltered, it'd be ok to just exist, be myself, and stop the spinning. It's the perfect place to allow my mind to go quiet, like what happens when I'm reading wlw romance. That's where I'd be, a quiet spot - I'd be too timid to flirt even if I wanted to.

Now, I'm sharing my two cards here (soon to be a third), because I haven't found many cards like what I was looking for. That's why I made my own. If even one other person enjoys it too, that's enough. I would like that.

Please do tell me if you like what I work on here, or give me advice or feedback. I would be happy to make more of what you like too.
