Yeah, I could read a dystopian fiction and wonder whether or not we're gonna make it as a species, or I can read All Quiet on the Western Front and get the same experience while also learning about history.
#Writestuff Unreservedly self-serving self promotion and aggrandisement time! Reply with a link to your work! Come back in an hour and repost all the replies! Don't cheat by replying with a link and not coming back to repost. There will be consequences of a most dystopian kind.
#Writestuff This concept is hogwash, on par with video games turning us all into violent psychopaths.
A nearly-forgotten movie about children doing their damndest: "Rabbit-Proof Fence", featuring three cousins resisting the White Australia movement that wanted to force them to breed with whites, ensuring the elimination of detectable Aborigines. Makes me cry, but ultimately uplifting.

I've been tempted to make a calendar with days like this properly noted. I'm willing to bet you could find a cite for every day.
Priya Sridhar@priyajsridhar.bsky.social · 21h agoAloha and good evening! I’m Priya Sridhar, here for the company. Today is also when the dystopia and apocalyptic short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” takes place: August 4, 2026. This week’s theme couldn’t be more fitting. #WriteStuff
Time for #WriteStuff to get rolling. Tonight, we discuss dystopian literature. First question at :05. But first ... who are you? Why are you here?
#WriteStuff A6: Keep in touch with readers online and in meat space through chats, social media book groups, book readings, writers groups, conventions and the like. My author interviews for The Horror Zine introduced me to writers I've admired for decades. That has helped me greatly.
Thanks for joining us tonight #WriteStuff! Please share this chat w/ new members of the #WritingCommunity. We'll be back at it again next Tuesday at 9 pm ET. Until then, happy writing!
Shameless Self-Promotions! Show off your links to #WriteStuff & find a new Bluesky account to follow.

#WriteStuff Q6: Whether William Clark, John Hancock, or John Doe, signing your name can be mindless or monumental. What can you do differently as an author to leave your mark on readers?

#WriteStuff Q5: How are your characters leaving their mark (literal or metaphorical)?

From extreme consumerism trash we came, to consumerism trash we shall return...likely literally on a floating garbage island somewhere off the pacific coast, because they won't know what to do with all of us. Retirement plans? Life insurance? Long term caaare??? Nah. Floating dumpster graveyard.

#WriteStuff Q4: For 13K years, native Americans left pictographs and petroglyphs on Pompeys Pillar. Captain Clark was the first to leave the date. How does your writing mark the time in which you are writing?

#WriteStuff Q3: When William Clark left his signature on the sandstone, he knew others had done similarly before him, and it is unsurprising that hundreds have since. When you sign your name to the cover, or add a dedication, how does that act make you feel? How will others see it?
