ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Elle and Kay found their inner artists with Filthy Strokes by Laura Victoria.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
Elle stumbled upon some messy booksta-drama somewhere in the rabbit hole of Threads, and we discuss the difference between airing dirty laundry for your followers, and followers understanding when creatives deserve their privacy (spoiler: authors deserve to have private lives, despite how much you love their work.). In this week's book, Elle was briefly teased with a FMC who uses protection while the sentient object is still in paintbrush form and then seems to forget it exists once he's a human. Both Kay and Elle were a little confused with the darker elements that don't always seem to align with where the story went. We got a bit of a jump scare with a preemptive "I love you" followed by a curse-induced ghosting?
Overall, this was ⭐⭐ from both Elle and Kay. Creative premise, but we had too many questions.
