Hello folks!

I realised recently that I never put together a useful little list of rules and expectations for this blog, so here I am doing that. I will no doubt be adding to and tweaking this as we go along - your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

1. Be kind. Be respectful. Practise empathy. Bigotry and hatred will not be tolerated here.

2. Nothing NSFW, please. In return, I shall continue to avoid the DNA tag. Think of it as a mutually beneficial bargain between us.

3. Please do not respond to anything I post with spoilery comments before public release. I try to be careful with what I post, and it's unfair on those who don't have early access to suddenly have "X IS BACK" thrust at their eyeballs against their will.

4. DMs will not be answered on this or any other social media platform.

All acting and VA enquiries should be sent to my agent at jackey@management-2000.co.uk.

If you need to reach out regarding any other professional matter, please do so through anusiabattersby.enquiries@gmail.com (this is for business enquiries only, just so I have everything I need in one place).

If you have a question or would like to yeet on over your thoughts on an episode, my asks are open (though I can't guarantee I will answer everything!). Anything else should be kept to public platforms, please. :)

5. Speaking of questions - yes, I am aware of Dyhard. I do not have any particular thoughts or opinions on Dyhard other than "best Bouchard ship name since Eye Eye Captain" (unreasonably proud of that one) and "live your bliss". Leading on from this ...

6. ... I will not be giving out spoilers, on anything. I will continue to be a vagueposting gremlin, but please don't ask me about the secrets of projects I'm in. There's one I have kept for two years at this point, and I'll be DAMNED if I give it up now.

Also, if I've answered a question, I'm unlikely to want to answer it again. It's nothing personal.

7. Please do not ask for my opinions on political or social events, or on real-world human beings. I'm here for the art, the asks, and the arcane.

8. Not everything I say is a clue or a hint. Sometimes I just want to be funny. Have fun, don't read too much into it, etc.

That said ... 😈

Finally:

9. I am a human being with a personal life. If I have not broadcast information about myself freely, please assume that there is a reason for that and do not try and dig (...) anything up, make assumptions, or ask intensely personal questions. Going back to 1. - let's be kind and respect boundaries here.

Thank you all! Much love, and it's grand to have you here. 🥰

Edit: adding this one on (it's all the places I would like to be found)!

BEHOLD! An Update:

Hello, Tumblr.

The Magnus Protocol returns today at 4pm for those with early access, with a live listen happening at 6pm.

Welcome back. It's about to get weirder. 👁

And for those without early access ...

Today's the day. 4pm. Enjoy. 😘

Told ya! Feels good. Maybe Gwen will have improved as a result of all the horrific experie-

Gwen refers to Alice as her subordinate.

... never mind.

Also hey, @billielhindle? FANTASTIC impression. 👏

Concerning messages to send without context:

(Context is "horror theatre"*, btw.)

*not Hilltop. Solo show. But Hilltop starts TOMORROW and I hope everyone breaks many limbs. 🥰

No notes.

We have 3 days left to fund BECK’S END from @shadowsatthedoor

With little time and pledges suddenly being cancelled, every share and bit of support we get is invaluable.

If you like indie folk horror, this one’s for you!

This sounds absolutely awesome - make sure to give the team some love if you can!

NEW EPISODE!

As our hunters head further into the taxidermist's manor, the mysterious hauntings become far more complicated than they first appeared. They may theorise and investigate, but only a helping hand will get them closer to the truth ...

The conclusion to our 'What Haunts Us' session, with a system created by our wonderful GM @innocentgoblin and featuring @anouchard as a guest player, is now available wherever you get your podcasts! 👀👻💜

Saffy's face when you say you haven't yet booked your tickets for Saturday's (final!!!) show. Trust me, she's not someone you want to anger ...

I (Anusia) am far more chilled out about the whole thing, but it *would* be lovely to see some people there. 😊

One more show in the run! Let's make it a good 'un(masking). 😈 ☎️ 👁

UNMASKED

The Kings Arms

11th July, 4pm

Thanks to everyone who's already bought a copy, to everyone who's going to buy one, and to the weather services for organising this heatwave as a promotional stunt! Get it now from all good UK bookshops!

*Something something Florence Pugh at the end of 'Midsommar'.*

Also known as "how was one of the nicest photos of me, I think maybe EVER, taken when I was sleep-deprived, stressed out of my mind, and roasting to death in too many layers of costume?". I don't know, but maybe @amicablephotography is just magical like that.

Also, theatre. That too. 🎭

UNMASKED is back at The Kings Arms tomorrow night at 9pm, and Saturday at 4pm.

"Sometimes, it pays to be careful who you make deals with, and when."

If you like the sound of a semi-improvised, metatheatrical solo show where a cosmic horror playwright may or may not have just made the worst decision of their life, you're in luck!

UNMASKED is back at The Kings Arms tomorrow night at 9pm, and on Saturday at 4pm. Come and join us! We promise it's not a cult. 😊
