Welp, confirmation from a market that gen AI art is used when there are "no other options." No other options?? SEriOSLy? 🤔 Let's start a thread of where you can find art to use in the public domain because I'm sick of this shit! Please reply below with your favorite resources. 👇
If you like dragons, get on this incredible book bundle! We've only had two sales for it thus far, so please do check it out! Just 15 dollars for 20 great dragon-centric reads!!! itch.io/b/3897/the-b... [ #booksky ]

Several people have asked me recently why Analog/Asimov's/F&SF/Ellery Queen/Alfred Hitchcock still don't have Submission Grinder listings again, because the communications from SFWA on the subject have been so positive. So I thought it might be worth addressing this briefly.
Cool new submission call from @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social!

I love this movie. Despite its age, the special effects still look incredible to this day. One of the best genre films of its era, and of all time for me. I need to watch this again soon.
