Calling All Brits On This Hellsite.

November updates, comin' in hot!! 🌈 Text colors have arrived!

Make your story more colorful with nine new hues—each with five shades to choose from, in light and dark mode.

🗂️ Import moaaaaar!

Some writers have already imported more than 100 docs into Ellipsus. 🤯 We respect the commitment, so we’ve shipped some improvements to streamline the process. With these updates, you can: Import multiple Markdown files at once, import files directly into a folder, or import files without automatically opening them in Ellipsus.

🗯️ Comments that pop

The Ellipsus crew are long commenters. Suggestions, links, musings, memes… we jam it all in that little input field. And my goodness, trying to communicate so much without line breaks or rich text was fucking painful. Not anymore! Rich text comments are here! Decorate your comments with bold, italics, lists, links, and more. (And soooo many line breaks.)

🔏 Write anything in Ellipsus

We’ve revised our privacy policy and terms of service to make sure our stances on privacy (we’re for it), generative AI (we’re against it), and transformative works (hell yeah) are crystal clear. 💎

if checking the slow horses tag obsessively was a job i would be making soooo much money

This might be my favorite bind so far! Definitely my most ambitious. It's for the buddie fic "What's love got to do with it?" By ColorMeParanoid on AO3.

@color-me-paranoid If you see this I love this work so much. I stumbled upon it while doom-scrolling the buddie tag, binged it in like two days and was like whelp guess I've found my next big bind. I also included the other work in the series as an epilogue!

I'm so happy with the cover design. The lovely line art was made by @missmists. It looks so great and matches the inspo pics so much better than my original design. The cover is supposed to be reminiscent of the Tina Turner movie posters for "What's Love Got to Do With It?" I love that the hearts are the same shape as the lips in the original poster! That was such a cool idea!

I think the application of the vinyl gave me brain damage, I can not say this with enough vitriol, fuck Cricut brand vinyl, specifically the foil iron-on. If the heat is where the instructions say it should be it NEVER transfers, and if it's too high, the plastic leaves residue all over it and looks terrible (especially on white leather) I Had to entirely scrap the first try, wasting materials makes me want to die.

This is the first full-size bind I've done with faux leather, It was a learning process to get the heat press to not leave marks. But by the second try, I think I had it down.

This is the longest fic I've bound in a single volume, and I've been trying new techniques, and it resulted in the cleanest text block I've done so far. No swell at all! Look at her, ain't she pretty!

The next step is to go even bigger!

"There’s a docile sweetness to the way he leans into her hold"

"“Sorry,” he murmurs again, but this time she knows he means that he’s sorry for scaring her. His next ragged exhale whispers against the heel of her palm. “Didn’t mean to.” "

to the surprise of ABSOLUTELY NO ONE i am once again yapping on about camcorder kidnapping :)

Carefully, she eases her wrist from River’s grasp and inches closer, moving with a snail’s slowness. “River,” she says, and then, choosing not to overthink it: “Darling, it’s me. It’s Catherine. Can I… can I touch your face?” She waits for his nod, which comes after an agonizing pause, before cupping her palm to the gentle curve of his face, the feverishly-bruised quality of it. Her thumb traces his cheek once, twice. “I’m sorry for shouting. I shouldn’t have. But you scared me, River. Your shoulder’s been dislocated. You can’t move it until I set it.” River’s jaw tenses beneath her palm, but gentles almost immediately. There’s a docile sweetness to the way he leans into her hold, a flower seeking the light of the sun, a cat sprawled under the amber-drenched sky. “Sorry,” he murmurs again, but this time she knows he means that he’s sorry for scaring her. His next ragged exhale whispers against the heel of her palm. “Didn’t mean to.”

more men should be on their knees begging desperately. like in general
