#SunsetChat Q1. Probably most of my characters would also sneak in snacks. The ones who would actually pay would do it to treat their friends which would be Valeias, Lilah, Mathias, and Nikolai (which is like 4 out of 30 some characters). #writingprompt #writesky #writingcommunity

#SunsetChat Q1: I personally refuse to spend 6$ on a 1$ box of candy and as a natural backpack wearer I am the first choice for sneaking in snacks 👀 what about your characters? Who is the head of the sneak squad? Who is a good boy and buys candy? #QTP #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

#SunsetChat howdy I'm Whirl. I'm juggling multiple WIPS. One is a contemporary romance, another is a science fantasy war drama, the other is zombie. All of which are queer. #writingprompt #writesky #writingcommunity

Hey #SunsetChat! Intros!! I’ve got a special surprise for you tonight! We are headed to the movies or a play* *for those of you with not modern universes! #QTP #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

No. Because the world is queernormative and has a completely different history to our world. The world I built doesn't even have labels because identities weren't medicalized and criminalized. 🤷‍♂️ #QueerPrompts #writesky #amwriting

#QueerPrompts October 21: International Pronouns Day: Do your character(s) introduce themselves with their pronouns?

Everyone I got got. Please find and block this person, they scanned my entire horror anthology into ChatGPT under the guise of a "beta reader" Thankfully I did NOT give them any money. Still sucks though. Got a whole 14 page doc back about two of my stories, definitely trying to stroke my ego

I am now 84% of the way through the YA horror novel revision, with only 50 pages left to go! 🎊 #booksky #amwriting

#booksky #bookishQOTD Physical. Any day. Theres just something so soothing about the texture and smell of pages. The asmr of pages turning and the sound of your fingers on the page. Also it doesnt hurt my eyes

Bookish Question of the Day@bookishqotd.bsky.social · yesterday

Do you prefer digital books or physical books? #booksky #bookishQOTD

Okay if any of you can remember the names of authors that are confirmed using Gen AI (either they have stated it or it's been substantiated in some way) could you share the names (or you can message me)? I'm going to put a little spreadsheet together to help my old-lady brain remember. #booksky

Sam, Polite Menace 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈@wanderolah.northsky.social · 11h ago

Is anyone tracking confirmed authors using AI somewhere? Is there a website or a spreadsheet or something #booksky

Katie and Lucas. They live strongly by their moral compass that it guides them through a dark mystery with a sharp focus. That being said, I think my readers will like Dt. Deer and Bekah a lot, too.

And who from your book/wip so the best? What makes them so good? #WritingPrompt

TRANS CREATIVES!!!!! I'm making a video about a recent indie show's newest episode and I have a neat bit at the end about trans art and the necessity of supporting it. As I was editing, I thought it'd be cool to show off some, so SHARE IT HERE!!!! Art, music, animation, whatever you want!

For three + years, teachers, writers, artists, humanities professors and so many others have been arguing exactly this--that this technology only produces an endless ouroboros of bland, sad, grey slop. But we were told that we were/are luddites, reactionary, old-fashioned, angry, etc etc.

I'm definitely a fast reader. I can finish most books within a single day. I finished Priory of The Orange Tree in about 9 hours (such a good book omg)

Bookish Question of the Day@bookishqotd.bsky.social · 4d ago

Do you consider yourself a fast or a slow reader? #booksky #BookishQOTD

Indie authors I will draw your book cover for only 200 usd. Give me two months. Opt out the ai. Earn more audience trust. Give a boy from the global south a job. Feed my family.

Hi, it's me, your weird bookseller/author friend with a reminder that this is the BEST time to preorder books coming out in the winter/spring of 2027. Why? Because buyers at bookstores are in the middle of placing their big orders for the next season. 🧵

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

Voters everywhere: get your vote in EARLY. Deliver mail-in ballots by hand if you can; don't trust the post office to deliver them in time. Don't assume the line at your polling place will be short come Election Day. GOP strategy right now is "prevent people from voting;" don't get caught by it.

If you told me I’d be redownloading Mapquest in 2026 to try to stay ahead of the surveillance state I wouldn’t have believed you

To be Young, Black and Gifted yall… Shout out to the students at North Carolina A&T University. They were stripped of their polling station on campus so they all marched together the nearest one to vote early. They are the future that gives me hope. 👏🏾🤩✨🇺🇸
