Pokémon Kanto Trainers (If you are wondering where Koga is, please be patient)

#SFFChat outro: now I'm obligated to promo the self since I'm going to Chicago about it Goblin Girl is nominated for a Nebula Award and available for purchase HERE: kamielke.itch.io/goblin-girl I would also really appreciate some more reviewsss: www.goodreads.com/book/show/231163559-goblin-girl

#SFFChat Q4: I’m going to do kind of the opposite because Finn doesn’t so much value compassion for him (which he sees as embarrassing pity) but he is a GOOBER who NEEDS it and since Nyx is his clone from the future, she’s just as bad or worse on account of post-apocalyptic Trauma

#SFFChat Q3: I really adore the depictions of community in cozy fantasy. Legends & Lattes and Under the Whispering Door are real standouts for me

#SFFChat Q2 1/: I’ve personally always struggled with forming community and making friends so I’ve never managed to be a part of the wider SFF Community, whatever that even means but I’ve been friends with my Unicorn Potluckers for a decade and I still have friends from writing twitter years ago!

#SFFChat Q1: because my current WIP #WeveBeenHereBefore is about depression, community is extremely important and also a real struggle for the MCs as they self-destructively reject it and deny it but of course the only way to fix things is to let yourself be loved and supported

hi everyone, hopping in here for the first time cuz I’m real bad at these things lol I’m kris, Nebula-nominated indie writer of queer kidlit right now I’m reading two of my fellow Andre Norton nominees, Wishing Well, Wishing Well and Sunrise on the Reaping #SFFChat

hey #BookSky, I’m a Nebula-nominated indie author of queer YA and MG about teens, human or goblin, who fall in love and grow as people and maybe even save the world sometimes links to all of my books can be found here: linktr.ee/KAMielke if you enjoy my work please consider leaving a review!

airships! FF9 wasn't my first time falling in love with airships but as I'd played the more futuristic FF8 and 10 first, FF9 was the first time I'd seen them in a more medieval fantasy kind of story. the fight with the Black Waltz was transformative for me

Sir Edwin is a deeply devoted knight who is bad at reading social cues. he's Steiner mixed with Frog from Chrono Trigger and he's a Good Man Doing His Best

Leaf is just my Vivi. he also has a bit of Ariel from The Little Mermaid and looks like an Ent not because of LotR but because I'm obsessed with koroks, but him being a sweet baby angel facing an existential dilemma is all Vivi

the most shameless is probably Princess Beatrix. I straight up just took Beatrix from FF9's name and it wasn't the first time either, I've been trying to use her name in a story for a very long time lol

reposting this thread for no reason other than Goblin Girl is nominated for a Nebula Award and I still love Final Fantasy IX

It's time to do it now, and do it loud— happy 15 years Killjoys #mcr

it's kind of incredible that middle-aged Republicans saying "if trans ppl are allowed maybe I'll put on a dress and molest high schoolers in the girls locker room" made ppl afraid of trans ppl and not Republicans

the trans agenda is literally just trans people asking to keep the rights trans people had without much issue until a few years ago, when Republicans started trying to take them away and a frightening amount of Democrats decided some of that was reasonable

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

Thrilled that AUDIOBOOK preorders are open for The Dragon Has Some Complaints! A curmudgeonly three-headed dragon pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Written by a human (me!). With no GenAI. Narrated by award-winner Zura Johnson. With no GenAI. #BookSky

oh hey it’s me, nervous run-on sentences and all

social commentary? in one of MY books?? it’s more likely than you think #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Three days left to back "Modern Dragons"

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

in which Finn watches the news the morning after almost drowning to death, and the president admits Things Look Bad #WeveBeenHereBefore #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

I just think it's funny for a self published author to go around always saying their nemesis is best selling mega author Suzanne Collins but nobody finds it funny other than me because everyone thinks it's real 😔 I'm sorry Suzanne I love your work

MOTHER’S DAY FOR MOTHERS, ALL CRIME IS LEGAL

in which a classic YA teacher (but with 6 arms, 3 eyes, and axolotl frills) tries to reach a classic slacker (with the fate of the world on his shoulders) #WeveBeenHereBefore #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

it’s actually pronounced “Tee-d song” #WIP #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #FFX

in which Finn exchanges his pride for bad news #WeveBeenHereBefore #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Okay, crew—there’s less than $1000 CA (less than $700 US) between us and funding… ONE ✨ WHOLE ✨ YEAR ✨ of Tales & Feathers !!! 🐉🏰🔮 + knocking the first of our three goals (year 6 is next!) out. LET’S GOOOOO!! Give us a share, help us get there !! 😤

By this logic, Tekken 2 made me a jeet kune do master

We've Been Here Before has a whole playlist but if I had to pick only one song from it, Preaching the End of the World by Chris Cornell

Why this isn't terrifying / angering / motivating more people is absolutely beyond me. Folks should be insulted and pissed, not ready to sign away their braincells for the promise of anything generated with a substantial error rate.

today's an awesome day to check out my friend's ✨nebula nominated✨ book! #booksky #kidlit books2read.com/u/31pp16 kamielke.itch.io/goblin-girl

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

in which Nyx speaks for me as I grapple with the JRPG time travel nonsense I built this book around #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

there are two clear contenders for best character in #WeveBeenHereBefore Nyx is Finn’s trans clone from the future, here to force him to save the world. she has robot limbs Ed Elrick-style and a golden eye Enzo-style. she’s a badass #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

SNAKE: No… Nut November? MASTER MILLER: Snake, have you heard of semen retention? Survivalists believe that it helps them retain vital amounts of testosterone and electrolytes. OTACON (clearly panicking): Doesn’t that seem unnecessarily cruel to ask those that may die at any moment to hold that in?

I’m not only a Nebula-nominated MG fantasy writer, I also write novella-length YA about anxiety, depression, being poor, and having huge embarrassing crushes that could leave you feeling SEEN lorimer.ca/childrens/pr... #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity #QueerYA

some of you are crushing your deadlift when you should be deadlifting your crush

Shoopuf FFX is your excuse to add that weird random thing to your fantasy world simply because it brings you joy and makes you laugh

why yes I do need another art book

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

in which an orcish daycare supervisor makes themself smaller for a snobby elf in need of a student placement my other WIP has no instance of write, so here’s the first ever preview of Diapers & Dryads, my (very rough) cozy fantasy daycare book #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts

with this WIP I really am taking one of the biggest complaints about Final Fantasy X and going "but what if Tidus was even whinier though 🤔"

in which an angry, speciesist mob has just smashed a bookstore window before being scared off, and Finn’s nihilism struggles to compete with his crush’s community mindset (even though The End is coming for them all) #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips #WriteSky #IndieAuthor #LGBTBooks
