In other writing plans, I want to get my #Malevolent femslash+ event fic roughed out next week before the new Pokemon game comes out. And then I've got a Georgie/Celia sickfic I intend to write while prepping for an upcoming medical procedure.

I believe I have 5 November event fics: 1 for The Locked Tomb dark fic event, 3 for Poly Ship Week, and 1 for Wanksgiving. I think the Wanksgiving fic is as long as the others combined!

Got my Rusty Quill Big Bang uploaded in AO3 as a draft. Once the art is embedded in it, I'll also want to get it drafted up on Sunset, too. It'll post at the end of October.

This weekend, I want to get my Halloween fic up in AO3 as a draft.

And then I can start editing my November event fics.

I'm going to write more Georgie/Celia for Sheeple Chase, with hopes to post it on Saturday. Also getting post this weekend?

The first two chapters of my Silt Verses big bang, the last chapter of my last Fandom Trumps Hate fic (woot woot!), and the ficlets I've been writing on Blorbo for Fan Prompt.

Absolutely thrilled to share the cover to next year's short story collection coming out from @tordotcom.bsky.social! I'm obsessed with it!

Comes out March 24, 2026, but you can pre-order it now wherever you like getting your books! Here's Macmillan's link.

On a gradient background that goes from blush-pink at the top to a muddy green at the bottom, a book cover. Super-imposed on a pastoral, oil-painting style image depicting a forested foreground and a hilly background beneath a soft champagne sky, is superimposed a 3-dimensional rhomboid-shape, the facets of which play with space. One facet shows a pale cloudy sky, and from it, a brown hare emerges chasing the hind legs and bushy tail of a wolf, the rest of which vanishes out of the rhomboid frame. The rhomboid's other facets -- which create the kind of infinity loop of an Escher painting -- are either blush-pink or covered in the greenery from the background. Above the rhomboid is the title, and the subtitle "Stories"; below it are the words New York Times Bestselling & Award-winning Author Amal El-Mohtar. My name and the word "Stories" are in the same blush-pink as the rhomboid's facets.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

That photo without explanation and in this context on the social media blasts, in context, leads to the easy inference it is a current photo.

They didn’t have any burning buildings from peaceful protests now, so they had to go back 30 years to frame it how they want.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

Urgh. So the current AI-fueled scam seems to be people or bots offering to "beta-read" your book and provide reviews.

Because the use case for LLMs is scams and spam!

What I had forgotten was that I had some f/f that are more Gen than Shippy, and I have some longer fics where I *know* that the f/f ship is the most prominent, but I can't remember how shippy the fic is versus how Gen. So I'm going to have to do some rereading.

Griselda Gimpel @griseldagimpel.bsky.social · 3d

When I started mirroring fics on Sunset, I figured I'd just sift through my f/f and Other tagged fics on AO3 and move over anything where the qualified ship was sufficiently prominent in the fic of justify its inclusion.

1. Take this seriously. Here is how you do it. Take a screenshot of the #HatchAct violation, whether it's on LinkedIn or other social media or on the actual US Government website. When you file your complaint, provide your personal contact information. If you're a furloughed fed, you're off-duty.

OSC tells us how to file a #HatchAct complaint. Nearly all federal sites are in violation. Do not accept this as normal. #FEDSTRONG
