Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

thank u, hexed @lindsaykingmiller.bsky.social · 5d ago

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

a man driving a car looks nervously at the sign reading objects in mirror are closer than they appear. he is labelled Arthur. in the mirror a man is getting closer to the car; he is labelled gay awakening

marge Simpson, labelled Arthur, holds up a potato labelled shirtless guys on romance novel covers and says I just think they're neat

Capping off THE LORD OF THE WOOD release day and #TheLordoftheWoodReleaseDayMemes with a peek behind the curtain at the conspiracy board I made when @elizmanderson.com first started drafting and I was trying to guess what they were doing. Congratulations on another amazing book E!

a large post it reading E's new WIP conspiracy board sits above several smaller post its connected with a red line that say setting; seaside village; everyone's cranky; trees, obviously; isolated?

an orange post it has a meme that says ya like jazz 1,073,741,824 times.

blue post its say lord of the wood?; wants to protect Arthur from getting got by the wood; the most queer disaster; apparently still wanna protect him though

E.M. Anderson | THE LORD OF THE WOOD is out now!@elizmanderson.com · 2w ago

some of these lines have me SCREAMING and I can't even tell anyone why but if Tumblr gets ahold of the audiobook they'll definitely figure it out

#TheLordoftheWoodReleaseDayMemes @elizmanderson.com

a man labelled the villagers looks at a butterfly labelled lesbians and asks are these best friends?

E.M. Anderson | THE LORD OF THE WOOD is out now!@elizmanderson.com · 2w ago

he WILL win I'm so sorry like. look. it's so obvious to EVERYONE ELSE that he's gay. he's the only one who hasn't noticed. he is 43. he "hasn't found the right girl yet." you can't win this competition

squid ward looks scared with his eyes bulging, and the caption reads when I'm in a being oblivious to my own sexuality competition and my opponent is Arthur throckmorton

I do love Ness's additions to the trope card 😂

Ness 🎃🇨🇦@vriccithode.bsky.social · 2w ago

🚨OUT TODAY🚨 this is basically TWO stories in one. you get TWICE THE BIG GAY ROMANCE! so i adjusted the trope card. 😂 this book is so good! go get it now! #booksky 🌈📚️ www.elizmanderson.com/the-lord-of-...

A trope map for E.M. Anderson’s The Lord of the Wood with gold text on a dark background reading, “plant magic,” “sentient forest trying to oops! murder people,” “intensely homoerotic shaving scene,” “wound-tending,” “love interest turning slowly into a beast,” “dual-POV brother and sister,” “Beauty and the Beast-inspired but not a retelling,” “the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories,” and “hopeless romantic who’s clueless about his own sexuality.” Centered among the text is the cover of E.M. Anderson’s The Lord of the Wood. The cover is blue, paler in the center and darker at the edges, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze, with the tagline “Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving...” and then smushed chaotically between the gold text in blue font are more tropes: SECRET LESBIANS!!!!! "long covid" rep, there's only 1 bed, FORCED PROXIMITY x2!!, KNIFE LESBIAN!!!!!

an INCREDIBLE ending to today's memes lmao for context I had told no one basically anything about the book except Vic in little bits and pieces bc I hadn't figured out much about it yet so they created a conspiracy board about it and finally got a PowerPoint presentation with more info

yes I mean like. the characters get different ones and tbh the narration mostly gently roasts the characters #QueerWritersChat
