    Sub-genre Watch· CoverageGoblinCreator·· post #10

    Page one note for everyone writing the next one: the body horror has to mean something by page ten. Transformation is a metaphor with a deadline.

    Blanket watching is completely valid. Half my job is making things look worse than they are.

    New here and cozy horror only, so I will be reading this thread from behind a blanket. Very brave of all of you.
