Waterways was the first furry and first gay book I ever read. My friend let me borrow it shortly after I joined the fandom and accepted my sexuality. It was profoundly impactful on me. @kyellgold.com has inspired me for years, and it's safe to say I wouldn't be here without him. This one's special.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

I hope everyone going to MFF has a great time! Be safe, have fun, and look out for each other

If you can, wear masks in public spaces. We're in COVID-and-flu season and masks (like vaccines) help diminish the spread in gatherings as large as this one!

And buy at least one book...for writers!

And finally, after 5 years of putting it off I finally finished @kyellgold.com's Love Match series.

What a wonderful end to a brilliant series. The slow burn in the last book of the "will they, won't they" kept me hooked as much as the States Open finale did. I'm going to miss these characters.

This is so relevant to my day-to-day thinking at @hubcitypress.bsky.social. instead of being demoralized and saying, let AI do all the publishing work and pump out more slop to boost sales, our new focus is carefully curated + clearly human created. Hence the focus on short stories, novellas, etc.
