obsessive/intrusive/magical

Fun, weird, or very bad things I simply cannot stop thinking about

I’m Marianne Eloise, a freelance writer covering culture, emo, the internet, mental health and more @ everywhere.

I am also very obsessive. About everything. Whether that means having intrusive thoughts, becoming fixated on an interesting topic or honestly believing in the powers of magical thinking (because I am mental) there is nothing I can do about it. UNTIL NOW. Jk, a newsletter will only make it worse, probably.

obsessive/intrusive/magical is a newsletter about obsession, OCD, special interests and occasionally cryptids. Each one will feature writing about something I just can’t stop thinking about: a TV show, a theme park ride, a mystery, a place, a nightmare, a Bad Thought. Maybe I’ll tell a ghost story sometimes, or focus on one moment in pop culture. It’ll be similar to work of mine you’ve read elsewhere, just more personal, less timely, or a little bit too weird for anyone to commission.

I appreciate your support, and while the newsletter might go paid eventually, for now it is all free. Maybe I’ll accept small donations over PayPal if you really want to keep a small writer in books and vegan chocolate.

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue - I’ll be publishing at least once a fortnight <3
