I was midway through writing up my DMCA takedown for thirty-two stories when the Science Fiction Weekly site went down, hopefully permanently because of people who sent in reports earlier.

Marie Brennan@swantower.bsky.social · last wk.

If anybody was excited that Science Fiction Weekly is aiming to "revive" Daily Science Fiction, you should know they are straight-up lying about having gotten permission from writers to republish DSF stories on their website. (Yes, I have sent a DCMA takedown notice.)

Hey! If you were published at Daily Science Fiction, be aware that a site called Science Fiction Weekly has stolen the entire story database & posted it on their site. All of my DSF stories are there without my permission. sciencefictionweekly.com

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

Big tech corporations have finally figured out who is to blame for their crappy products: science fiction writers.

Happy book-birthday to my latest baby, THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY! 🥳 🥳 If you want to see a Mean Girl Redemption Arc with open door spice and bitchy quips, this is *the* novel for you. You'll want to shake her (hard) then you'll want to hug her (also hard).

As a writing mentor, I have semi regularly given the advice (when warranted) to squish 2 characters together to make one super powerful Voltron character. Today I have to do that in my own story revision nooooo 😭. #AmWriting
