If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.

Trent Kallust@badger597.bsky.social · last mo.

@courtneymilan.com I just pulled this from a post over on Facebook, felt like it might be info worth sharing...

From Laura Resnick:

"Absolutely furious right now.

The Anthropic settlement admin, in the huge AI copyright infringement case, is sending claimants information about claim disputes, disagreements or confusion over allocation of the settlement funds, etc.

Someone using the name "Stephen Edgington" is claiming 100% ownership and 100% of the settlement $ for more than 20 of my copyrighted books. I've never heard of this person, and I'm the sole copyright holder in every instance. So I have to upload my copyright documentation for every damn book to refute his fraudulent claim."

Crease Collision is my favorite MM hockey romance. The main characters, Kai and Oskar, are couple goals. Their honest & open communication is refreshing to read. If you have KU this weekend is the perfect time to download and read Crease Collision.

Have you read Oskar and Kai’s romance in Crease Collision yet? I love a good rivals-to-lovers romance, and Crease Collision takes it to a new level with competitiveness & respect. Both Kai and Oskar are incredible goalies. Kai is the best in the league, and #MMHockey #MMRomance #OwnVoice

Oskar from Crease Collision by Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood is one of the best green flag characters I’ve read. I adore him. You can get to know him too. Read Crease Collision on K.U., Kindle or paperback today.

Mostly, the slide is this text:

Do you agree that Oskar is...
a walking green flag?
He doesn't try to fix Kai.
He doesn't make Kai feel he is too much.
He doesn't believe Kai is broken.
He doesn't try to destroy Kai's walls.
He is patient.
He waits.
He accepts.
He wants Kai to feel good.
He loves Kai exactly as he is.
He shows Kai that home isn't a place,
It's a person

Then on the bottom right is a picture of Oskar. White male with long blond hair.

Crease Collision by Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood @ryan-josh.bsky.social is incredible. It packs so much into the characters, romance, and the 🔥&🌶️. The authors write every trope listed fabulously, with fresh takes on many of them, like rival hockey goalies, bi representation, ND representation.

Crease Collision is a fantastic book to read this weekend. The authors don't gloss over Oskar’s bisexual representation. It's part of who Oskar is, and Kai grows to love all of Oskar.
