How does Kobo Plus work for authors? Pageviews like the 'Zon or some other payment structure? Since I'm testing it out at the moment.

#Romancelandia, can we get this GFM moving again for Julia?
(remember: you can tip $0, GFM charges fees regardless! So even a little bit can make a difference if enough people drop those $10 or $5)
Thank you!

Question for you! What cookbooks do you LOVE or love to give as gifts? It doesn't have to be a 2025 cookbook.
I'm going to be putting together this week's gift guide and since so many of us are cooking, I thought cookbooks might be fun. I also love giving them as gifts.
What are your faves? 👩🏻🍳

I have a worldbuilding dilemma. For my romantasy class, I'm revisiting my Roman secret island of psychics, vampires, and shapeshifters. (Don't ask.) The problem is the Roman part. The island's mostly matriarchal society doesn't fit with Roman society. 1/

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

Holy crap. The only thing I'm surprised by is librarians weren't included.
The Dept. of Education is capping loan assistance for non-professional. degrees - including nursing. That is bonkers. www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...
Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin
Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

OK, fantasy scholars, help us out here. What is the earliest known use of ‘fae’, with that specific spelling, in a fantasy novel?

FYI @effjayem.bsky.social @dimitrafimi.bsky.social @adamroberts.bsky.social @profrmaslen.bsky.social @garykwolfe.bsky.social
This has brought up a question I actually don't know - when did the specific form "the fae" become so popular in English?
OED has "Faerie" going back to Spenser, "fey" as "fairylike" in 1823, and there's obviously "Morgan le Fay" from French, but can't find much for "the fae" til quite recently!
