I remember seeing authors' posts on @scalzi.com's The Big Idea for years, and hoping to be included one day. Two books in, and it's still pretty cool. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/05/29/t...

I'm traveling tomorrow for a commencement speech I am giving this weekend at my high school so I am trying to finish the commencement speech now, for fuck's sake, I have been out of school for 38 years now and somehow still doing assignments for it at the very last minute, at least I am consistent

Over on @scalzi.com I have offered a short essay, to coincide with Written on the Dark launching. It reflects the sad fact that I do sometimes think I'm funny. But, um, also with a serious point, because, well... you know? Me? Moi? whatever.scalzi.com/2025/05/28/t...

There is already spicy OMW universe fanfic up over at An Archive of One's Own (which to be clear I have not read, I just know it exists), so if you want to add more, be my guest. Here is my actual fanfic policy: whatever.scalzi.com/2007/05/25/m...

As noted the other day, my ability to write erotica of any sort is hampered by lack of practice, a general disinterest, and the fact that I giggle like a discomfited moppet any time I consider it, so the only association I will have with "Sizzlers" is visiting the beloved fast casual restaurant

Now is the time of day when I turn off my office computer, leave that room, come down to the living room, get in my recliner, put a blanket over my feet and open up my laptop. It makes a difference you see

You don't have to worry if I will keep writing. I have no other skills and I am easily bored. If I don't keep writing, I will end up setting fire to objects just to feel alive. No one wants that.

(takes long drag on cigarette) Look, kid, I was a centrist once, back in the day, back when being a centrist meant something! I rode that fence! I was that dead armadillo with a yellow streak on its back! Like my father! And his father before him! And HIS fath-- well, no actually he was a Wobbly

Yes. I've never understood hate following someone. That's like subscribing to a service that randomly and viciously pokes you in the eyeball. Why would you do that.

Pretty much all of my novels are in these data sets, and I certainly wouldn't mind getting several million in damages. I even have a charitable foundation I could put that money into.

I think it's some of that and/or the irritation that one is meant to start from scratch somewhere else. I understand that, and also, at a certain point I had to acknowledge no number of followers over there was worth hanging out at a Nazi bar for. So over I came, and for good.
