I like both AEW and WWE, but WWE starting that PPV with a seven minute intro package”WWE rules lol” video package then HHH cutting a “I am God” promo was a thing…

You have to be the biggest loser on the planet to demand fluffy US late night talk shows get cancelled because you’re so thin skinned you can’t take even the mildest criticism.

I'm Rebecca Cantrell and I write dark stuff, mostly (horror, thrillers, mysteries). Not my best writing week. #WeeknightWriters

#HorrorWritersChat As usual, I’m a struggling trans creator who could use support: ko-fi.com/transcendrag... I recently made this fantasy subgenre personality quiz: uquiz.com/mytO0i I’ll be posting a horror subgenre uquiz on my Kofi soon, so lookout! Also, SFF writer discord: discord.gg/PqQWt9Fk

Hi #HorrorWritersChat ! I’m Mattie and I write dark fantasy, horror, romance, and erotica—usually with a gothic or folkloric bent (or both). I’m not really a tech or software person, but I am a big fan of Scrivener for its organizational features.

This week I'll circle back to IT WANTS US ALIVE, my menopausal demon hunter story. It's got some high tech weaponry and containment equipment, but the most important technology is an ancient Irish lyre that sings to demons. tinyurl.com/2tvnewcw #horrorwriterschat

Thanks Eryn! #HorrorWritersChat, "Hannah and Other Stories" will be out in 6 days! Don't you want to read the scariest collection out this Halloween season? Amazon: tinyurl.com/mv8p4shk B&N: tinyurl.com/4fznerfe Kobo: tinyurl.com/3u5fpeb6 Apple Books: tinyurl.com/33xhhdnx #HorrorSky #BookSky

#horrorwriterschat - my latest terrible film comes out October 21st. Here’s a trailer. Barbatachtian 7: The Epic Final Teaser! youtu.be/BJDp1HH2Vos

Definitely face recognition. Soon, we won't be able to go anywhere without being scrutinised like a bug under a microscope. #HorrorWritersChat

There are a lot of speculative geo-engineering technologies that I can see being a very ripe source of eco-horror - pumping gases into the atmosphere to lessen radiation from the sun, attempting to fuck with micro-organisms to get them to absorb more carbon. #HorrorWritersChat

For me I'm going to be split between two things: Smart homes controlling all your shit And visually augmented glasses. Which is scarier? Your home turning against you, locking you in, bumping you off, or seeing shit that isn't there in your glasses and it's not you, it's not your brain, it's tech?

#horrorwriterschat - Paramount Pictures AI vault.

Yes. It was a microfiction, but so many just leapt on it, I might have to write it. You basically picked characteristics from a catalogue and your child was delivered: but in this case the child was recalled for defective traits. And she loved him. So she refused.

Hi, I'm Thea, I would say that I mostly write supernatural horror, though I take a lot of inspiration from psychological and gothic horror. I'm new so I'm not sure what my number is, sorry.

I'd best do mine. It varies, I do both. I have written sci-fi horror where tech is embedded, a threat, for good or bad, biotech, etc, and as a tool. My characters have used phones, I've written microfiction about AI going wrong, about children made to order, and returned: if it fits the story ...

#HorrorWritersChat I adore old technology. My favourite for atmosphere is still old incandescent bulbs with the way they flicker and cast shadows.

I prefer the aesthetics of the previous century. That may just be nostalgia brain talking. I don't necessarily think a CRT television is any scarier than a flatscreen, I just like my tech clunky and chunky these days What makes it horror is the intent behind it, not the visuals #HorrorWritersChat

Funny you should mention it: in a story I finished the first draft for the other day, the main antagonist was released from a VHS tape it was trapped inside. Said antagonist went on a rampage once the tape was played. Did I mention the antagonist is a kaiju? #HorrorWritersChat

I think I've already answered this in Q2 (i.e. no) but when it comes to my viewing/reading tastes? Both, if done well. Obviously much of the best found-footage horror works with the grain of VHS and cathode-ray TVs, but e.g. Ex-Machina and Host did great work with modern tech #HorrorWritersChat

Eep! This releases two weeks today

Catching up, somewhat. Tech is tech. We forget that wheels, fountains, cars, were tech once, something new and exciting. Our brains making something new. What's scarier, really? An old tv? An old setting? Nostalgia? Is tech our new religion? #horrorwriterschat

#horrorwriterschat - I’m kinda low fi. I feel that older stuff is timeless. And creepy. Plus glitchy.

I don't write tech a lot, most of my horror is historical. But in the notable exceptions it's either a thin veneer hiding the society's problems (The Forever City), or the cause of the problems (AInshittification). So I suppose for me tech is a tool. #HorrorWritersChat

Q2, #HorrorWritersChat! You lot were chatting so much I ran over. Hmpf. Anyway you know the theme. Hit me with it.

Threat! OMG, such a giant threat. Sure, it's useful and unavoidable, but it's a hulking mass of shambling horror working to turn every bit of electricity in our brains into a profit, leaving behind a creeping numbness and rage. #horrorwriterschat

In my short story "The Specter of Rejection," I do have a laptop that goes rogue and does horrible things to the MC's WIP. But that's my only foray into tech horror so far. The rest of the time, it's just a tool. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: I'm Anna and I am currently writing the sequel to my first book, called The King's Raven. It is a cozy fantasy/horror, and has Werewolves. I use Google drive, just because I can quickly put ideas down in my phone when I'm out and about, then write it properly on my laptop.

#HorrorWritersChat Question 1: I write nostalgic horror, and I'd be lost without Google Docs. It lets me edit from anywhere!

OMG I'm actually here on time! Hi, I'm Kathy and I write MG horror! I have laptop with Word and will write. I also like notebooks and pens. I like to keep it simple for my brain. #HorrorWritersChat

#horrorwriterschat Q2 - Well my scripts have lots of robots, but they aren’t evil per se. They’re just very human. Which makes them slightly evil. Oh.

The Morning Show is back! I spoke to showrunner Charlotte Stoudt and director Mimi Leder (icon, legend) about what to expect this season www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/cha...

Hi, I'm Vivian and I write various horror, but mostly the campy pulpy kind(at least that's what I have been told). I don't know exactly what writer tech is? A computer? I swear by my computer keyboard and imagination. lol. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi, I’m Kimberly, I write horror that sneaks up on you. Two collections out, drafting a novel. I don’t use any writerly tech during the writing process. I usually type in Word (all tech “assistance” disabled). If I get stuck I take pen or pencil to paper to draft sections. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

So yeah hi #HorrorWritersChat, I'm here, co-hosting, doing... something... I'm Eryn, I write mostly psychological and supernatural horror, and my gamechanger is Atticus because I write straight into the fucker and it's done. Plus it has Open Dyslexia font. If you know you know. I do like Trello too.

Hi, I'm Beverley, a dark fiction writer from the UK specialising in atmosphere and the build-up of dread. As I write multi pov I find Scrivener and its coloured card system invaluable on a first draft! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I go by MJ these days and I write 51 flavours of horror (and a little romance under a pen name). I’m a Scrivener convert although still learning all of its capabilities and I wish it had built-in dictation.

Hello #horrorwriterschat! I'm Gabby! I write emotionally uncomfortable gore. Don't use tech, but I do love Gdocs for the ability to quickly make a copy I can work from. Allows me to keep earlier drafts (I've had 15 versions of a less than 3k word story) which helps me keep track of the good bits.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Trish Wilson, Media Director for The Horror Zine. I write quiet horror and horror comedy. I also conduct author interviews. Writerly tech I swear by? My laptop - and my cat that is permanently attached to it. Ever try to write with a cat draped all over you? 😸

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello everyone, I'm Jacob Marsh and I writer horror and supernatural thirllers. I swear by dictation. Every time I dictate a first draft I find the flowstate so easy to maintain that it makes me question my entire process. I'm talking double my average typed words per hour.

Hello #HorrorWritersChat gang. I am Matt, pen name MG Mason and I write mixed genre fantasy and horror. Tech I swear by? MattGPT (genuine person typing), as in my brain, which will never stop coming up with ideas. Serious answer: a pen, notebook, and a spot on the beach

Hi all. I'm Anna. I write mostly cosmic, body and eco-horror. I'm afraid I mostly swear by notebooks and pens. But I did use a solo TTRPG recently for world building (is that tech?) Worked well, anyway. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Rebecca Cantrell. I write novels and short stories, often quite dark, but I have written lighter Christmas short stories as I can apparently only stay cheery for 25 pages. Horror, thriller, mystery. As for technology, after a career in high tech, I'm opposed and wanting paper #horrorwriterschat

I am Amber, a horror and dark fiction writer from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. My tendons in my arms are very rude, so I use the app Voice Notebook to write my stuff using speech to text and then paste everything into the Google Docs. #HorrorWritersChat

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! My name is Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, and I only use Microsoft Word for writing my stories! I refuse to use anything else!

Dum, Dum, Dum!!!!!!!!!! Assemble, #HorrorWritersChat writers. Assemble, and give us your shit for Q1. Your name, your number, but not your links. You know the game. Leave that for the end. Right? Right.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi. I’m Ian. I write horror films. Celtx is my jam, amazing scriptwriting app.

People who hero worship racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, creepy, ugly, rude, dumb, out of shape, incoherent, greedy idiots will always baffle me.

If anyone has ever dreamed of acting in the roles of “creepy journalist” and “undercover CIA operative”, let me know - Barbatachtian 7.

If we had a PM with a spine, Twitter would’ve been banned in the UK after Musk’s comments yesterday.
