Confession [x]
It’s perfectly all right; I think every writer goes through this at some point! I once told Claudia how I found myself just staring into space and having to see what’s happening in my mind so clearly, but the words weren’t just coming out at all, and she told me that she experienced this, too!
One of the best advices I heard is from Anne Lamott: “Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something – anything – down on paper.” Simple, but very effective when the going gets tough.
So, please, don’t be afraid! Just keep writing. ♥️

P.S. Well, technically, the Haystack was formed to cater to extended confessions so it makes sense that everything in it right now is in the POV of the confessor/writer. 😀

Confession [x]
Please do! The Haystack needs more drabbles (and the more variety the better! ;D)
And I can completely sympathise with you about being affected by the confessions here. I never admitted this out loud, but as someone who was slowly drifting away from the fandom last year I thought it was best to leave because I just didn’t have the same passion for it anymore.
But then Syndicate happened, our inbox overflowed with confessions, and I was close to panic because I couldn’t find enough images. So I made the decision: Get the goddamned game and make my own images. At least that’s the reason I told everyone when they asked why I went back to playing AC; however, the real reason why I decided to get it was I was getting really curious because of the confessions here.
So, yes, if it weren’t for the confessions here subtly pushing me to buy the game and getting back into the fandom, I would’ve quitted early this year. So I really have to thank all of you for making me stay. ♥️♥️♥️
Ever grateful,
~ Signora Paola
From your lips to God’s ears, dear anon. Although hmmmmmmm I will be willing to write it myself as long as I get a good prompt. 😉

-Sister Teodora, who is really really really falling on her own knees soon to beg the followers sending a few stories about Arno and maybe other assassins.
Alright, dear friend of this super lovely anon,
Sister Teodora speaking here. You know, I am an absolutely hardcore-fan of Arno V. Dorian and I’d be pleasured to see your work in our Secluded Haystack. Would you kindly send us something, so my eyes and brain have something to enjoy?
Yours sincerely with best regards,
Sister Teodora, who would be the happiest woman alive.
PS Remember this cutie face.
