Sèphera Girón: so i hear some of you writers don't like ai Girón: well, i'm tired of all you writers not liking ai! Girón: and i'm gonna let you all know it! Girón: i'm mad as hell! Girón: put that in the newspaper! Girón: or better yet Girón: put it in the HWA newsletter!

Really disappointing from the HWA, again.

HWA back on its bullshit, I see I'm not a member (this isn't their first pro-"AI" rodeo). But fucking hell, we need better options Shauna and I run a horror press. We're EXACTLY the people who should be joining an org like the HWA. Where are we supposed to go, when this is what they serve up?

"We do not and will not condone the deliberate use of commercialised LLM-based text/image extruders ("generative AI") by any of our members or affiliates. We condemn "AI" - and its apologists - in the strongest possible terms" If you're not saying this by now, you're saying the opposite

Does anyone have any experience relaunching a book? We're tempted to rerelease Feathers, a haunted house book I wrote a while back @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social did an amazing job w/ the cover - but the bird/wand/witch artwork hasn't aged well, post-TERF wizard lady Any thoughts/tips?
