"is this abandoned/discontinued" or "update when" or similar are never appropriate comments. instead, tell the author your favorite things about the fic, what you're hoping to find out in future chapters, that you reread it all the time... that encourages authors way more than "where chapter"
I woke up in the night thinking about this & will forget if I don't wing it into the universe right now, so...

what are some etiquette tips you'd give to someone new to fandom spaces?

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.

I said this over on the bird site, but a fic published a few years ago isn't "old." Fic writers aren't content machines, and you don't owe anyone a constant output of new works to remain relevant. Your stories don't become unreadable after a certain date. Fics don't expire.

Want a little more Christmas?

A few years ago myself & some other writers wrote this funny canon Destiel fic thats very (very) loosely inspired by The Santa Clause, with an SPN twist. I just reread & thought I should share!

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas. 🎄💙💚

As someone surrounded by fields that perennially alternate between corn and soy, this seems like a good idea, and I note at least one field near me seems to have part of its land given over to something like this - a part near a creek, that was frequently flooded

2024: Hey now. Let's be careful that we don't celebrate crimes against the rich.

1980: These ladies got high and kidnapped their boss. They were heroes and one of them got his job and did it better.

There was also a hit song about corporations exploiting workers.

America loved it.

I cannot stress this enough when you’re doing your last minute holiday shopping please keep in mind that these retail workers are human beings and deserve kindness and respect. It’s also not their fault you’re there doing your last minute shopping and if they’re out of items you want/need. Be kind.

Don’t think I’ve posted this on Bluesky yet. My most complex & intricate leather book cover I’ve ever done. At least 100 hours went into this roughly 6”x9” cover. You can follow my books at @fineblankbooks.bsky.social
