Why I stopped writing/posting fanfic (spoiler: it's mostly because of AI) Before I started writing my novels, I wrote a fair amount of FFXIV smut and posted it to AO3. My ship was pretty specific, so the views were modest. But I had decent engagement, at first anyway.
"people who like MxM but not FxF are misogynists" relies on the idea that either queer men dont read or queer men who want to read about queer men are misogynists. i think a lot of people need to examine why they're assuming all readers are women and femmes.
Excited to be part of this year's Year of Queer Lit Bookblast in just under 2 weeks! Pick up book 1 in my queer romance series for only 99 cents! Last year I stocked up on a bunch of titles and found several great new-to-me authors! #Romancelandia 📚💙

I'm so close to being done with book 3, thank fucking Christ
Honest Book Reviews: If bad book reviews were written honestly, how would they read? I hope my fellow authors will appreciate this as well as the #bookstagram, #booksky, and #booktok communities. Fight book banning legislation, write and call your elected representatives. @authorsabb
Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

Sascha Stronach🏳️⚧️, The Sunforge out now@understatesmen.bsky.social · last wk.This needs to be a bigger story. Google Docs is no longer safe for copyrighted material. Any writer on contract needs to stop using it *immediately*.
#WritingCommunity question, CW for fantasy gore (I swear I'm not a psychopath): Say you're standing within arm's reach of someone who gets bitten in half by a dragon. What kind of blood spray could you expect, and how much of it would get on you?
Artists of Bluesky, please try out the Repost Queue and let me know how you are using it and what could be improved! #art
deck.blue@deck.blue · 2w agoThe main usage for this was thought of with a few artist friends of mine which basically boils down to this: - As an artist, you're now able to keep a sequence of reposts (say, every 2 hours) for your latest publications or even some old ones in-between; you can set it to "loop" until you change it
The thing about using slop flyers for advertising is that there’s no way to visually differentiate between a lemonade stand, a BBQ joint, a car wash, and a laundromat. They all look exactly the same and from a branding perspective that’s bad, actually
I still genuinely grieve not being able to go to Gencon. It feels like I've lost a part of myself that I'll never get back, but it's just not fucking safe for my trans ass to cross the border anymore

Less a word/phrase and more a sentence structure, but... Parentheticals. In my defense, I think in parentheticals! But a big part of my editing process is telling myself in after abusing them in the first draft
Susan Savage Lee@susansavagelee.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat’s a word or phrase you overuse when writing? “That” is a big one for me, though I’m getting better at avoiding it #writingq #WritingCommunity #writers
Just a thought, if Mitch McConnell is actually dead, would that mean he has rigor tortise?
I will not read your Substack Not EVER Substack is owned by literal Nazis Is everyone there a Nazi? No. But the money GOES to Nazis So yeah. I will never, ever, ever read your Substack
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
TERFs seem to like accusing me of writing "Mary Sues / Gary Stus". And given that my MCs are bisexual idiots who could NEVER be described as "irritatingly perfect", I guess that means it's the self-insert wish fulfilment part they hate? And yeah??? I'll cop to that #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters
