Oh. I was not expecting the episode to end like THAT. 🫢😱

Oh gods, the obligatory Kopiko product placement. And then they removed the dark marks under Se-gye's eyes after he had one. 😂😂

For Pride I ask you to look at what I think is one of the most powerful pieces of queer art. Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers) By John Boskovich

#WIPSnips: Happen Caeso just considering that time he almost knifed his boss. About five hours ago.

It's so weird that Scrivener really hates the name 'Geoff' and offers a whole load of suggestions... and right at the end is 'Geoffrey.' If 'Geoffrey' is in their dictionary, why isn't its most common abbreviation? And more to the point, why on earth isn't it, when 'Jeff' is??

Is anyone out there looking for a queer scifi ARC that features time travel and an "I'll love you in every reality" trope? I also have a limited number of physical ARCs available! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F.... #WritingCommunity

Annals of AI fuckups: an author forwarded me the email below, in which the book club scammer mistakenly sent the AI output instead of the intended email pitch. Note the "strategic analysis", which illustrates the scammers' boiled-frog approach

This reminds me of two very random things. 1. Korean translations of the bible must be fun, since 'apple' and 'apology' are both 'sagwa' (사과). 2. I have a book on Roman humour, and very early on in it, the author shares a joke. The joke is funny; I laughed out loud. The author then goes on...

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

You know what? People who don’t like kissing don’t have to watch romances. Sober realists aren’t forced to sit through SFF. Grouches can eschew comedy and squeamish people are welcome not to watch horror films. Just let things exist for their target audience.

#QueerPrompts Generally, no. I want to write worlds where nobody cares in the hope one day we'll have one like that too. But Caeso's had issues in the past (immortal Roman means lots of time has passed), and Alex raised a few eyebrows, mostly because he was aggressively hetero before dating Milos.

#LGBTQWriteAThon I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but I did discover something Gabe and Jude find in a desk that I assume will make sense later, and figured out why I was stuck on a scene in Hard Work that Caeso wanted to happen but also somehow resisted (the last book is still affecting him).

Day 5 of #PrideBookFair. There are two of our bundles that have hit double digit sales, which means there are still two that need a few more sales to get there. Go pick up one of these two bundles to help them hit that! Bundle 1 - itch.io/b/3675/pride... Bundle 4 - itch.io/b/3678/pride...

#LGBTQWriteAThon I have no idea about tropes at the best of times, so... I See Dead People. *waves* My Boyfriend Dumped Me, I'm So Depressed. Oh, Hi There~ Lovers to Enemies Not Your Average Witch Haunted House (positive) (mostly) Only One Bed (and you don't want to be in it)

I was just trying to move a plane in DS, and every time I tried to lower it, it rose. In the end I had to move the slider towards the + side to get it to lower to -0.70. Turns out that things go weird if you accidentally write -0.01 instead of 0.01 in the nudge settings. 😅🤣

I thought last year that having the urge to pack for holiday a month before was because I was very nervous. Except I have the urge to pack again. It's not going to make it happen any faster! (But I got the fabric packing cubes out anyway, and made a list, and one for smol dog...)

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I got a random call from a mobile number at lunch, but it was on my secondary phone that I use for travelling/walking so I only use that number for specific things. I didn't answer it, but it left a voicemail. Worrying it might be something to do with my holiday booking, I checked, and...

The day before the EHRC Code dropped, Victoria Richards in the Independent Women newsletter, asked what makes us angry. She published my reply in the newsletter yesterday.

I was curious if other ghost-hunting shows are as... screechy as the US and UK ones I've seen. A bit of ghost-hunting-hunting later, I found 'zozozo' on YouTube, a group of Japanese streamers who explore haunted places. There's a refreshing lack of screaming.

#QueerPrompts I started out making a list but it looked a bit weird, so... Gabe, Jude, Caeso, Geoff, Luke, Danvin, Ardashir: all gay. Milos: homoromantic demisexual (but tends to call himself asexual). Alex: spends two books insisting he's straight, calls himself bi in book three.

"Arrows are still pointy even if they're not in the bow, so just pick it up and STAB HIM!" I've seen this show before... I'm pretty sure I yelled the same thing last time too.

I...

So…who wants to volunteer to be a beta reader for this thing? (119,000 words) I’m more than happy to beta read something of yours in exchange. #writingcommunity #booksky #writerhelp 💙 📚

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

It's Pride Month which means you get to be Gay and support your Queer authors. Get 38 Queer books for $40 in the bundle linked below. My bi4bi fantasy romance THE DRAGON'S KEEPER is included and now's the perfect time to nab it while I'm working on the sequel! itch.io/b/3678/pride...

itch.io/b/3721/lgbtq... 23 queer books for $10: Science fiction, fantasy, horror, including my Cthulhu Mythos short story Lock the Last Door. Check it out

#LGBTQWriteAThon Danvin turned up in my head and went, "My hair is awesome! Oh, btw I'm marrying the bad guy from a previous book. BUT MY HAIR!" I spent several days trying to ignore him; I failed. I also have a character based on a ball-jointed doll that looked incredibly sad when he arrived.

DAZ: Here's the new version of our software, now with added slop machine chatbot! Yeah... I think I'll stick with the old version, thanks. The one that all the plugins work on. That doesn't include stupid shit I don't need.

Happy pride month from my ocs 💛

#QueerPrompts For Gabe, some attempts to shame him roll off his back (esp. the ones about him being easily distracted). Others settle... but he thinks them through and decides whether he needs to take it on board or not. Jude isn't so healthy: he internalises it instead and it makes him anxious.

#LGBTQWriteAThon For Ghosted, it's all the episodes of Most Haunted over the years, with added nudges from Gonjiam Asylum and the ghost hunting episode of The Zone season 3. For Hard Work, I wanted Caeso to have *some* fun after Dirty Work... 😅 Danvin straight up told me about his book.

Writing has taught me resilience, humility, and how to spend forty minutes changing one paragraph back to the way I originally wrote it. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife
