Ancient Greek religion and lore, but it was a Prohibition AU of the Bakkhai; the next-oldest was Marie de France's 'Bisclavret'

'I am not better than 96% of writers, and I am DEFINITELY not luckier' is honestly a gamechanging thought Like, am I better than 70% of writers? Maybe! Maybe even 80%! I might be self-critical, but I've also done my time reading slush piles. But I'm definitely not better or luckier than 96%.

Looks like the patterns of behavior that were unhealthy for me on Twitter are--surprise, surprise!--still unhealthy for me on Bluesky. So I'm going to limit my use of this site for a bit, and see if it helps.

I want living to be easy. I want to be able to rest when I need it and create when I feel like it and eat what I want and never worry about whether a billionaire will make me homeless on a whim. I want to stop spending every moment of every day thinking about how little I have the energy to do.

Question: For you, what makes a book hard to put down? What gets you invested and keeps you hooked? (It's probably easier to answer 'What makes you lose interest,' but I'm not asking that question. I want to know what an author can do, affirmatively, to hold your interest.)

Hate the omnipresence of White Jesus imagery; I cannot get excited about a handsome long-haired beardy man without the demoralizing realization that most people's first thought will be not 'Qui-Gon Jinn' or even 'hippie dude' but 'Christianity'

It's such a jumpscare when a stranger appears in my notifications--I often forget that Discovery exists and just panic-block

It's so aggravating when you know exactly what's wrong with your brain, but knowing doesn't immediately fix everything What do you mean I have to spend decades building a new way of being over the living face of the old one

Due to Recent Events, I'd like to try my hand at self-publishing some erotica to get a second, slim revenue stream going (trad publishing is too slow and SFF not lucrative enough for the impending emergency). Anything in particular that you'd especially like to see in the genre?

Commission info Anything with color includes simple/abstract background. If there’s something you’d like that’s not priced (more characters, animals, different art style etc), we can discuss that. If you’re interested please either DM me or send me an email: [email protected]

Always so aggravating when I come across people hating on worldbuilding in the wild. If worldbuilding has a hundred fans, I am one of them; if worldbuilding has one fan, I am that fan; if worldbuilding has no fans, then I'm dead, because I will die before I stop loving worldbuilding

My research this morning re: What Is the Erotica Market Doing has turned up several trends: 1. Straight stories make more money than gay stories 2. It's all white folks at the top 3. Wolf shifters still going strong 4. Age gaps are super popular 5. WHERE DID ALL THESE MINOTAURS AND HUCOWS COME FROM

Wonderful as it is to see the IMMENSE changes in compositional eye/technical skill in the Never Stop Drawing meme, I think my favorites are the ones where you can clearly see the seeds of the current style in the older style. Love to see a lifetime's worth of refinement of a particular vision.

It's truly astounding how much of my energy is bound up in hating myself If I could just force-end that process and then prevent it from initializing on startup, I could get SO MUCH DONE
