✦ A Little Note From Your Creator ✦

First off, thank you for being here! ♡

I genuinely love creating these little worlds and emotionally questionable men for you all to enjoy. Knowing that even one person finds happiness, comfort, or a good story in something I've made means more to me than you know.

Constructive feedback is always welcome! ♡

If something is difficult to read, a character isn't behaving as intended, or you notice something I could improve, please don't hesitate to let me know!

I might not be able to accommodate every suggestion, but I promise I'll listen. I'm always learning, and I want these stories to be just as enjoyable for you as they are for me to create.

Thank you for giving my characters a little piece of your imagination. ♡

Now go enjoy your fictional red flags. I certainly won't judge. 🖤
