pinned post!
🧵I've been writing off and on for almost 20 years. I adore gritty fiction. Horror is where I got my start, but now I write a mix of horror and rawspense. The word rawspense is a word I use for gritty fiction that drags you through whatever shit the characters go through, that might not be horror.

I originally sent a story submission for this anthology, however, the press received so many stories they liked, they decided to open up a second anthology. I love the cover for this anthology! Can't wait to see the second volume cover.

Hello
#writingcommunity
! I'm new here, and I'm hoping to connect with others who enjoy YA/NA
#darkfantasy
with
#queer
characters. I'm hoping to write to market, as I want to give She Who Shall Not Be Named some competition! Evil dark wizards can't stand a chance if we all unite!

I write gritty speculative fiction where friendship is magic, queer bonds are celebrated, and everyday moments shimmer with wonder. Luminous imagery, dry wit, and a love for found family shape their stories. I'm pansexual, pronouns are she/her, DM with respect. Not looking to hookup!

LOVED IT! And that press they're talking about? I'm apart of it! I write under a new penname for the FFP, but it's still dark fantasy, with a lot of grimdark influence. With the FFP, I write to market, but it's going to be awesome!

I get it that ppl get sick of drama, me too. The issue is, there are ppl who create drama, and then the ppl they punch down on get tired of it, but those who are picked on get criticized. The secret for avoiding drama is, don't create it. Be kind. Be classy.

I don't have an issue with AI training on my writing, if this comes up, which it will. I have an issue when websites pirate books, that's a completely different issue. So yes, I do take issue with AI training on books that being pirated bc I don't support piracy.

This is really cool. Back in 2023, I wanted to write an anthology about bards in a grimdark fantasy, where they are the lead characters. I wanted to come up with songs by those bards as well, something on the level of the bard songs from The Witcher series, now I might be able to do that with Suno.

Lookie here, the court agrees with me that AI training isn't theft. I'm sooo shocked, lol. If it is theft, then every artist who ever trained on another broke the law. Don't comment unless you watched the entire video. Trolls need not apply.

🧵Very cool. I used 3.5 a lot, but then I got into DeepSeek, which is still a favorite of mine, and GPT 4, now the 4.5. I tend to go back and fourth, I use whichever gives me the best output. I also get AI to write like me, but I still do a lot of the writing/editing on

AI isn't meant to replace the author, it's meant to be a tool. It helps the author. There are many ways to use the AI, not just one button. AI serves the author, not the other way around. Also in Jason's new book, he barely talks about AI.

Before the AI Hater Brigade gatekeeping on how authors are allowed to write books, there was the SP Hater Brigade, although some of them are still around, but many of them have faded into the ether. Just like the AI Haters. Fuck the gatekeepers 😀

🧵Seriously the type of hate I get from these ppl. I want to be nice to ppl I disagree with, but I can't when it's outright hate and attacks. This is sickening. I'm literally being taken back to arguing with bigots on LGBTQAI+ rights, the same quality of response.
