Not at AAAAALLLL. This June was ASS on wheels, but doing these posts was fun. I STARTED my dev edit, and I have a sense of the two chapters I'll be adding. That's it on my own work. I also kind of want to finish one of my fanfics. :/ #LGBTQWriteAThon

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 28: I was surprised there were only 67 mentions of the word magic in all. I guess that goes along with the hero knowing fuckall about it. Here's a clip from early on:

#LGBTQWriteAThon I'm overwhelmed with work rn. My progress has SLOOOOWED. ⭐ Get back to editing the middle of the manuscript. Solidify the two chapters I started last week. ⭐ Piss around on Canva and try to come up with the cover reveal posts. ⭐ Do SOME social media.

Sometimes I wanna make my wip snippets look really pretty and sometimes I just screenshot off my phone but most of the time posting here feels like this

My wife got to talk to her cousins this week, and one of her nieces thinks that playing with swords is a normal part of weddings thanks to us. So proud. #lgbtq #cosplay

#LGBTQWriteAThon Currently doing my own. If my books ever sell well enough to defer some cost, I'd be looking at a couple of artists I've interacted with: skaiwitch (on Threads) or @lumaris.net It would also really be timing and my capacity to come up with a concept for the cover art.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Kipp: ⭐⭐⭐ A lot of fun with a bunch of fights against bad guys and magic and crazy cult stuff! But I HATED that ending. I'm not talking to you anymore. Ayrehart: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just... emotionally exhausting. But necessary, I think. Saoirse: ⭐ A feckin' cock up from beginning to end.

#LGBTQWriteAThon I (16M) am sort of the legendary hero, and like everyone in my family, on my last birthday, I set out to go save the world and stuff. anyway. My party and I just killed these really rank monsters, but it turns out they were the prince's (18M) PARENTS.

It wasn't super intentional, but early on , Ayrehart got associated with dark red bc of his cursed eyes. Also blood. Saoirse is green because of her magic/association with plants. Kipp is white and gold. Hair and eyes. Revri got associated with purple, and I think that's just his favorite color.

During an event in Guild Wars 2, the enemy wants to kill humans because we damage the earth and warm the oceans. NPC: It's not too late. We can fix it. Enemy: You can, but you won't. That's... too real. Those with the power to undo what we've done to the planet won't. They'd kill us all for profit

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 20: Nowhere near what I wanted to get done. I did manage to break away from work a bit and revise two chapters of my manuscript. I've been trying to get these dev edits done and frankly, just make my cover already. But I did make a coconut cake for my father-in-law today.

Pounded by Impostor Syndrome for Heroes but also by Our Parents and Forebearers' Failure to Keep Evil in Check and the Personification of the Philosophical Failings of Neoliberalism and Refusal to Participate in Class Solidarity But like, with magic and fairies and curses and pre-slash

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 18: Literal title: The Autistic Prince Who Cursed Himself So He Could Save the Day and then Didn't Do That Because the Legendary Hero and His Buddies Got Their First; but then the Hero Recruits the Prince and Gets a Huge Crush on Him While Having Impostor Syndrome #writesky

AI games should NOT be allowed on Steam, just my take on it. 🤷‍♂️

If you think gaming is a male hobby, then you need to read up on gaming history. We wouldn't have modern video games if it wasn't for the women developers of the 70's and the girl games push of the 80's/90's. Gaming is for everyone.

So, during Hurricane Helene, my landlocked Appalachian family lost multiple cars to downed trees. Within the last week, another tree fell on my sister's camper. The Happening wasn't as aggressive as the forests in the Smoky Mountains.

I often do it in fanfiction (either the craziest quote or a reference that connects or is funny). In OG writing, I don't usually do every chapter, but I'll name sections, just for me, and then decide later whether I should keep the little section titles. #LGBTQWriteAThon

First, my wonderful wife @ivyquinnauthor13.bsky.social who is my biggest supporter and my dev editor. After that, the people from our writer's support group discord, @eldris.thellian.com who started it and @sillauthor.bsky.social who spearheaded our local group of writing crabs. #LGBTQWriteAThon

So there's a Steam sale... If my favorite Final Fantasy games are FFII, FFV, and FF9 (with nostalgia goggles for FFIV), how much are X/X-2 going to hit? #gaming

My #awesomecharacters are pretty unbalanced: Ayrehart has great heavy combat skills with swords, axes, etc.; is well educated/read; and speaks several languages. Saoirse= WILDLY skilled in magic Revri is a great cook. He's our combat rookie. Training sessions required. Kipp is good at stealing!

I finally got THE DEVOURING set up on Itch! If you haven't purchased the ebook of my debut cosmic horror thriller, here's your chance! Join Jason and Ayana, the married protagonists, as they uncover an occult conspiracy at the heart of their city—and the malevolent god lurking beyond its veil. 💙📚

I would love to see these "reviews" for the original BUFFY pilot. "This guy shows up way too late in the script and is all mysterious, lots of unanswered questions." "Pilot ends on a cliffhanger as though it were planned for some kind of long-form story." "Where the fuck is Luke Perry?"

Sarah Michelle Gellar reveals what really happened with Hulu's BUFFY: NEW SUNNYDALE reboot: bloody-disgusting.com/tv/3941101/s...

when did your obsession with hot toxic women begin

The problem with Eternals wasn't the direction. It was putting 1000s of years and a billion characters into one movie and then burying the release of said movie during a time when the MCU is already rapidly losing interest. Also, 3 other writers on that script. Blaming Zhao specifically? A choice.

the reason why Buffy works on a level that no other whedon thing does is that Buffy is fundamentally about an awesome girl with a sword. and that is missing from every other show.

Firefly is absolutely the mojo dojo casa house version of Buffy I hope that makes sense

Hulu and Disney television greenlighting endless Ryan Murphy slop - see the bomb The Beauty - and not greenlighting Buffy - a project that would drive subscribers is absolute craziness

This is it. We are literally headed for no US media being anything but "Left Behind" adaptations and "Terminal List" knock-offs. The will burn everything else for tax breaks. Nothing but MAGA masturbation material.

Joss Whedon really had one truly good idea (buffy/angel) and then an absolute series of whiffs

Ya know, I wasn't even especially into the idea of a Buffy reboot, but now I have a NEW ENEMY. Who is this creepy exec?

The Buffy reboot was cancelled.

Pretty much everyone is aware and has personal experience with men in positions of power being predatory, abusive, and violent—and getting away with it. What is rarer and invokes rage and backlash is when someone tries to hold those men to account. That is what people have a problem with.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This judge should haul Bovino in every time one of his goons violates the order.
