Feeling depressed after a good yaoi is so crazy. I knew sleeping on paper boats was good because I read the first half a while ago; Now I acc finished reading and feeling so down. Bro. Speechless. Where do I even begin

The way I was reading a blurb for a book and physically recoiled when I finally got to the bottom and realized it was about straights.

Whether it’s the misuse, the lack, or the excess of it, magic usually holds sway over our fantasy worlds. If you’re more a sci-fi person, you know that technology takes the place of magic here.

A #booksky or #writesky long shot but I'm looking for a short I read but cannot for the life of me remember the title or author. I read it in a single sitting some time before 2021, discovered it on maybe twitter or tumblr and I think it was something like "The Seux of Roses" or something

Last day (and eight hours) on this bundle, which I just purchased. If you want Yuri with bad vibes, this is the place to go.

This is a great read!

Wishing everyone a cozy and safe Feast today if you're celebrating!

"Trans people are often told that ‘we have always been here’, but it's rare to see that laid out in a way where we feel lifelike. It's one thing to show idealized images of past figures; it's another to make them feel real." For real @theneedlenews.com (thank you!!)

Going to post this again (www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjg...) because I've been through pseudo-revelatory psychosis twice and I need you to know that everything the LLM tells him is exactly what mania will tell you when you're on the upswing of a psychotic episode. He intentionally gave it a very...

Writing wise, construction matters more than style. Plain prose on a solid framework is better than perfect prose on a flawed framework.

One thing I'll say again: if you can, localize your prices. It goes for books, indie games, etc. Everything that is sold in a global marketplace can benefit from taking into account that 20 USD is different for USians and Brazilians.

I've held off on this too long. In honor of the third Bludeye book being drafted: 1 like = 1 fact about Milo Vance.
