Having seen the Joyce Carol Oates very bad, not good tweet about romance and AI, I can't help thinking about the way that romance has been treated as a punching bag for so long and always by people who are completely unwilling to engage with the genre and know little about it.
The #2026IgnyteAwards for Outstanding Fiction Podcast recognizes excellence in audio performance and production for speculative fiction. Congratulations again, @khoreo.bsky.social
My latest AI book promotion scam e-mail proposes to find new readers for my debut novel's Turkish translation, which appeared in 2017.
So while people are talking about potash, I've just experienced another episode of Eleanor's Dawning Realizations About English: I did not recognize "potash" as a compound and thought it was pronounced like some combination of "potage" and "succotash."
Wow, one minute I'm reading a column about how people love to talk about "lore" now, and the next minute I've moved on to the next tab and stumbled upon the phrase "an enduring piece of niche Paxton lore."

Sooooo... P&P is in the public domain. You are an award-winning cartoonist. How long do we have to wait before some keen-eyed press gives us an edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, annotated by Trung Le Nguyen, littered with your avatar making comments in the margins?
On the language of Homeric Greek, and the language of a certain forthcoming film: here are a few simple observations.
AI writing is going to be an unfathomably huge issue for SFF short fiction markets. People aren’t even good at it yet, and it’s a problem. As the models get better and the prompters develop more skills, it will be so critical for organizing bodies to protect magazines.

In the replies and discussion related to the Bona Books post on dealing with LLM gen stories that's making the rounds, I am seeing a lot of the same reactions that have rippled through publishers, zines, and slush-reading.
Maria Haskins@mariahaskins.com · 3mo agoAs someone who reads slush on a regular basis, I have many many thoughts on the AI-subs stories being shared right now, but one thing is for sure: I hate what AI generated stories are doing to zines and publishers and writers. It makes things harder for everyone who is doing legit work.

Whoops, I think I just discovered I never properly learned what "akimbo" means.
Benjamin Dreyer@bcdreyer.social · 4mo agoI don't necessarily think that you shouldn't use a word (correctly, that is) because increasing numbers of people don't know what it means, but I can say that I'm not keen on "akimbo" because it doesn't even vaguely look or sound like what it means unless you speak Middle English.
Our Kickstarter is live! Help support another year of speculative fiction by immigrant & diaspora writers over at @Kickstarter. 🧡 With your help, we can keep funding our work, expand to regular author interviews, raise our artist pay, & more! Support us at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kho...
I'm less than halfway through this library book, and so far I have already encountered TWO instances of a previous reader correcting, in pen, "laid" to "lay." They are correct, but...it's a library book.
