NEW POST! 📢 10 Must-Read Black Authors for Black History Month - Loud In The Margins loudinthemargins.com/books/10-mus... #blackbooksky #booksky #blackhistorymonth

Brought the Heist WIP to 162K words. Writing a scene now that is emotionally complicated, but that I always had in mind for Aimery and Lucien. It's ultimately the two of them picking apart and working through some of the last knotty vestiges of shame Aimery carries around his earlier experiences.

Finished reading "The Larks Still Bravely Singing" by Aster Glenn Gray. M/M historical romance, about WWI veterans dealing with amputations, bereavement & combat PTSD. It's also very much about their pre-war boarding school days. I liked this one a lot. asterglenngray.wordpress.com/2021/09/22/t...

Oh check it out, Reactor review!

Thread with some Pinterest alternatives. Off to delete my account -- I'm taking this personally now.

Heads-up for folks who're teachers and/or have kids in school who don't know - per a fawning article in the Telegraph there's another Transgender-Trend-alike pile of bigots called 'Protect & Teach' making it their mission to harass schools into being fucking awful to trans kids in the UK.

Watching The Untamed made me lose my entire mind, and write an epic fantasy duology with M/M, F/F & M/F romance, from Feb-July last year. Then a F/F novella in 9 days. Then a M/M & M/M romance from Sept-Dec. I'm writing a new M/M & M/F novel now. TLDR: gay dramas will turn you into a novelist! 😂🥰

If you see this, post a character that starts with A. It's A-Yuan from The Untamed.

Finished reading "Honeytrap" by Aster Glenn Gray. M/M historical romance, about a Soviet and FBI Agent, beginning during the Cold War, and continuing in intervals till the '90s. A slow burn love story. Well drawn characters. Quite moving in places. asterglenngray.wordpress.com/2021/01/18/h...

Good grief. This is an entire KJ Charles plotline in real life! It's in the Will Darling trilogy, by the way, if you like M/M historical romance, set in the 1920s. I especially like the way the books tackle foreshortened future with regards to combat PTSD. And that it has a love scene that is...

Context: collecting Skymiles to fly people home who were kidnapped in Minnesota and released in Texas.

Heist WIP is now at 158K words. The way I'm writing this scene has changed quite a bit from initial plans. It's gotten much darker. But I think it also works better in highlighting the cruelty wealthy, titled, powerful men can get away with when moving in packs. (Look at real world news right now.)

An exciting line-up of Angry Robot titles on a limited-time-only Kindle Deal! Whether you're looking for an epic fantasy quest with romance (LEDGE by Stacey McEwan) or a slick sci-fi intertwined with a slow-burn mystery (MERCURY RISING by R.W.W Greene), there's a great deal here for every reader.

If you have Adobe Animate and you're concerned about losing access to your FLA files, you can open them in Adobe Flash CS6 and re-save them. And then of course, CS6 files can be opened in CS5 and re-saved. And then CS5 files can be opened in CS4, etc.

We caught up with series 2 of The Night Manager. Not very happy with that ending, TBH. I feel like those are the most interesting characters, gone. And also I get the impression the writers didn't know what to do with Roxana - she seems to have spent the entire series sitting in rooms, being guarded

From the children's book, a Roman centurion, as the guide the main characters receive. From the duology, Cal at a state dinner. His gold and red robes in Coastal Kingdom colours would be dashing. From the novella, Ember. But I can't say why without spoiling one of the loveliest moments in the book

Lithgow "revealed that a friend with a trans child had sent him a link to an article entitled: “An open letter to John Lithgow: Please walk away from Harry Potter.”" I don't know how that friend is not an ex-friend, considering that keeping the franchise going funds JKR's transphobic initiatives.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

What I mostly remember about 24, was that everyone talked about how Jack Bauer never went to the toilet once in 24 hours. Until they wrote him a visit to the toilet in a later season - one of the odder instances of a show reacting to fans 😂

I'm delighted to hear of the release of Liam Ramos! The good folks of @comixaction.com have put together the #ComicsForLiam initiative, to celebrate a brave boy and bring attention to others in his position. Check it out!

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Hi everyone! 💛 Happy Black History Month! 🤎✨️ I'm Karissa, a Black Biracial artist from Philly. I like to work on fantasy related art, character designs, and more.

I am now the Co-Editor of the @bsfa.bsky.social fission anthology. We open for submissions midnight on 13th February, and now pay 3p (roughly 4c) a word. I hope to see lots of great stories. I am very excited about this! 😁 www.bsfa.co.uk/fission

Everyone's struggling & the world's on fire so I'm sorry to ask, but I need your help again. If you could donate and/or share my Go Fund Me campaign, it would go a long way to helping me pay for increased costs for my breast cancer treatment. Details in my update. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Z made a #heatedrivalry fan video (to a German pop banger I used to love) and I am going to need the graphic novel of this version STAT thank you please BOYS \o/

My favourite part of that game was still the surprise danmei storyline.

When I was writing Westmarch sometimes I'd come up with small, random, happy scenes with the characters, that were probably never going to make it into the book. This week has been a struggle for me. That's not letting up at all. So I'm indulging myself with similar scenes for the Heist WIP now.

Hi everyone, one of our whistle producers is down to a roll or two of filament. If you have the capacity, would you mind helping them out so they can keep printing whistles? Thank you all!
