Oh lord, too many to name! But lets start with @awillmscream.lol who has been telling stories with me for years shout outs to @gnipahellir.bsky.social and @stephwrites.bsky.social for writing good words and for helping my words be less bad #ComJunity (1/?)

people keep coming up with these baroque rationalisations for why Trump wants Greenland and it's like ... y'all it's because it's big, he is not a man who has thoughts more complex than this, he got pranked by the mercator projection

How I take criticism

Being extremely dry 100k+ word textbooks (Sorry Science and the Secrets of Nature, I got halfway through) OR having the bad guys do intensely described rape that is only interrupted by the Good Guys as a way to show how bad the bad guys are. Lookin at you, 1632. #booksky

All writing is an inherently vulnerable experience, youre putting yourself out there and you WILL get the crap locked out of you, but I dont think authors owe their readers personal emotional vulnerability. But that might be my day job talking. #SFFChat

Hello! Della again! Once when I was a kid I had a bird walk up to me and stare at me, cheeping mournful, until I unwrapped the string it had gotten around its foot. It didn't peck of scratch me, but flew away without a glance back once it was free. #SFFChat

The entire Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie The Expanse series with the Rocinante crew The whole concept of the 'bash in Too Like the Lightning is *so* deeply appealing to me as a human that it kept me going through some of the weirder bits, until I learned to love the weird bits #ComJunity

If you see this, quote post with your favorite Eevee evolution I just like how poofy she is

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

I think the first impulse for most characters would be to talk to Sebastian, since vampires have to maintain a disposal area. But Thomas's family have their own meat processing facility and keep pigs and goats. So. #ComJunity #murderbarns #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky

I made venison lettuce wraps because nobody was around to stop me. I shared a picture because I'm a cartoon millennial. #venison

I started posting on a web 2.0 style forum and stumbled ass-backwards into one of the most talented group of writers on the internet, and you can too if you have tenbux to spend I've also met a lot of great writers here on bsky, so I guess the answer is "shitposting" #ComJunity #writingcommunity

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Went to the coffee shop to write words and when I came back she was in the same place I left her #dogsofbluesky #dingo

Oh man. My first thought is Niamh x Sebastian as a Victorian couple where they are ruthlessly catty to everyone else but devoted to their ace/gay polycule. Second thought is Thomas x Joey, the chaotic bisexual energy would nuke Concord #ComJunity #writingcommunity #writesky #urbanfantasy

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

Despite (or maybe because of) the way he fucks things up in act 1, its Sebastian. Even before he got turned he was a community presence, someone who loved organizing and arranging and Doing Community Life. He'd be such a good person if it hadn't been for Cassius Corvus #ComJunity #writingcommunity

Sorry poodle, no pie for you.

#comjunity Writers are similar to humans and they respond well to rewards like sugar & caffeine, but they're a bit more reclusive. They may need time to warm up to you. Once rapport is established, you can support them in the usual way, like with a standard 2x4 frame, or a gothic flying buttress.

I love reading beta drafts and giving feedback. I also really like hearing people talk through their plots and just tell me all the cool things. Its something I didn't get much of from my family, so I try to give it to others whenever I can #ComJunity #writingcommunity

Tell me your pet's name with a GIF ...she's a good dingo, really, but this gif isn't *not* her energy

I had two lunch beers 💚

...look, I would love my follower count to go up. But I block for AI. Immediately. Not because I think you're a bot, but because I casually scroll through your profile and see multiple AI images. I hates it! I am not shy about hatesing it!

Just over two thousand words. I am going to earn this lunch beer. #amwriting #writingcommunity
