RAAAHH, DCC MENTIONED!!

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

good gender-nuetral entity

you don't know me

Fourth! I've gotten together a team of judges and expect an announcement about the self published litrpg bake off very shortly. We'll go live the day after the self published fantasy bake off and we're taking less than 300 entries.

Third! The Immersive Quill awards, recognizing authors and others within the progression fantasy niche are being pushed back a week! I'll make another announcement but the board is discussing options as the main discord server hosting it closed three weeks ago.

Second! My event to lift up webfiction authors, launchapalooza (second edition) is in full swing. A group of us are going to drop fictions on June 6th, 2026, just like we did in December!

First! I'm posting a new web fiction, 5 chapters a week. check that out! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1423...

SUCCESS!! I am now putting this on my new phone. Announcements coming!

Can’t help getting misty eyed over the first Hinge married mayor of nyc

Me reading a litRPG author's bio: "...has been captivated by stories of LitRPG and progression fantasy since his childhood..." Me, wondering how this could be true when the genres are so new... and then realizing this author is in their early 20's and both have existed for 15 years: *turns to dust*

Also guys if you're a newer author, I've set up something we call launchapalooza to show newer authors how to launch. It's an official Novelizing event though some people are launching on Royal Road. Roughly 60 authors from new to professional are launching new works on December 6th!

It's been a long week. Rest here, weary creative. You deserve it.

Even 'good news' is greeted like this now.

Increasingly I'm of the opinion that intelligence is useless without the confidence to say "I can figure this out for myself," the patience to review the subject carefully, the security to be willing to try and fail, and the determination to then try again.

oh wow, the early reports are that the new Tron movie isn’t doing very well at the box office. this is wild, because the last Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office, and also the very first Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office and also neither of those first two were very good.

For those of you who don't want to buy books from Amazon and would like to support a wonderful Irish-owned independent bookshop, my YA litRPG fantasy novel, PRINCESS PINEBERRY AND THE SKY PALADINS OF RAM, is available to pre-order from buythebook.ie 📚💚 www.buythebook.ie/product/prin...

Alright so I finished principal writing of Bodega Cat! It's a four book series that will post until roughly January on Royal Road and novelizing. It feels good. Also I am deep into Demon World Boba Shop book five and loving every minute of it so uhh yeah let's just say I took notes.

Apocalypse parenting! Don't sleep on it y'all!

So much yessssss

The warnings I'd give for my series are: foul language and innuendo. Some sexy stuff is implied to happen off screen for various characters and the adults talk about it indirectly, as one does around kids. One positive: most litRPG is on Kindle Unlimited, so you can try it out cheaply!

Update: 39k into Bodega cat volume 3. Staten Island has been overrun with mobs and the humans are trying to salvage it. But who needs it anyways?

Oh, good… Nice to see how the “new” Bluesky Moderation is being handled.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

One of the most noticeable differences in Amsterdam (and Europe in general) from the US is how much more relaxed and slower the pace of life is here. It's not unusual for folks to just chill and hang out at a café for hours. In the US is always a rush to eat and turnover the table.

But also writing a scene from Bodega Cat Volume 3: The battle for Staten Island reminds me how hard it would be to mount a machine gun on a ferry. Hard but not impossible.

I really need to get bluesky on my main device but now it's like I have one specific device just for it. That also... it's just nice.

There are excellent books in these bundles. Buying them is a way to tell Itch.io that their treatment of LGBT and NSFW creators isn't acceptable. #BookSky, do you want to read good stories by diverse voices, support marginalised authors who need your help, and express your frustration? Click 👇

"All happy families are alike, but all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way." yeah? well explain the addams family, dipshit

Ahem. New artwork. Five chapters a week. A Cat in a System apocalypse tries to make sense of the world. If you ever wanted to meet the intersection of Robert Moses x Eren Yeager as a Cat, yeah check out Bodega cat.

(gesturing towards your little sister) you know that thing would eat you if you died, right?

i mean i'm still gonna advocate hitting the payment processors first and above all else because that's who needs to be taken down but yikes. coulda found a better way to do that one, dude

One last thing? My publishing house is doing an anthology again. submissions are open. I am the primary editor. Rules are here. Err on the side of sending something, your chances are really good of getting published/paid. www.riverfolkbooks.com/news/litrpg-...

new plot this one out in the open: I'm dropping my new serial on December 6th on RR/novelizing. I'm encouraging my author friends to do one as well.ine will be a Romantasy inspired by my wife called "Blood rights and blood wrongs" reasons: it's right after write-a-thon network effects

How’s my writing going?

📣 READ NOW — FREE! "The Elf Who Would Become A Dragon," is on AO3, Wattpad, Royal Road, Webnovel, and Tumblr 🧡 A heartbreaking and heartwarming fantasy about rejection and belonging, power and consequence, and the cost of being ourselves. Written with accessible language, for adults. #BookSky

Just write a section of Bodega cat that clearly makes the story a rip off of the board game classic Carcassone. Bagel is literally buying up sections of New York City using the system and sectioning it off to become a landlord. It's what you do in the apocalypse. #deckbuilder #basebuilder

My #transbooks story is that I'm trans and my partner and I are writing a book where their character (cis, he/him) and mine (intersex, he/him) are the DPS and healer in a real version of the video game they played together when Earth was still... well... Earth. There's lots of angst lol
