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.

I will be adding a lot of like-minded people, but please, if you're the type to hate an entire group of people, go away! Unless it's Nazis/bigots, I hate those groups too, lol. But everyone else, no blanket hatred. That's called bigotry, and I hate it. I will call it out if I see it.

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!

Hello #WritingCommunity! I'm looking to connect with readers and authors of #darkfantasy and #scifi, especially those in the #LGBTQAI+ lit, and fellow members of the LGBTQAI+! Also feel free to add me to lists in any of those categories!!!! ❤️🩵🩷💚💜💛🧡

I look forward to seeing my very first acceptance appear in CORSAIRS AND CUTLASSES with Racooneur Press! My short story, The Leviathan's Price, will be out in November! I'm hoping this is an excellent start to publishing more with Racooneur Press!

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!

Whoa, watching this video, that beginning tip, OMG. This is soooo old school. I'm not saying that she's wrong, it's just old school. Things have changed. Writing has changed. Publishing has changed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7XC... #WritingCommunity

What's the Future Fiction Academy? Come check it out! Since I became a member, I have been blessed with a wonderful writing community, and have learned so much! Still learning, and will continue to learn. Not to mention, they just created their own press! Haters need not apply. #AI #AIWriting

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! #AI #AIWriting

Fear, Court Cases, and Community: Moving Beyond the AI Witch Hunts #AI #writingcommunity #AIwriting

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. #AI #WritingCommunity

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. #writingcommunity #AI

Now to ruffle some feathers, lol. This being said, NO, I don't support LibGen. #AI #WritingCommunity

Love this site! One of the best writing communities out there. And given all the toxicity in the writing community over AI, this site is refreshing. Not to mention there's a lot of education on writing with AI. Haters need not apply, lol. #AI #aiwriting #nerdynovelist #writingcommunity

Apparently, it's world BUY MY BOOKS day! ... wait ... I'm being told other books are included too... Anyway - you know what to do!

I love these guys. Jay's story reminds me a little of Reign of Fire, so I'm intrigued. I also love how Jay thinks, ppl who say writers who use AI aren't real writers are full of shit. Actually listen to us, yes fuckers, we are actual writers, lol. #WritingCommunity #AI

Game, set, match!

When bullies try to tell me how I'm allowed to post, and what settings I'm allowed to use hehe (this happens a lot, my profile my rules, and vise-versa):

🧵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 #WritingCommunity

Looks like Iron Man's Jarvis might be a thing. Well, a form of Jarvis.

If you’re looking for a story where a cast of BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQ+, and disabled individuals stick it to a power-hungry, exploitative con man, may I introduce you to WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON. Out on April 29, 2025

I'd watch it.

This is me spot on when some asshat tells me how to live my life, lol. Fuck gatekeepers.

Let them be mad, lol. I don't want them to be mad, I want the haters to get a clue, but when ppl decide to be angry, there's no talking them out of it. #AI #WritingCommunity

Monday thought:

"Even people who don't generally enjoy fantasy novels absolutely love these books!" Servants of the Moon and Sun, an epic fantasy reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil? www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLVPF7D
