New #WriterBeware blog post: An update on the historic Bartz v. Anthropic settlement. It's been preliminarily approved by the court, but many questions remain about the claims process, the timeline, and exactly which works are included writerbeware.blog/2025/09/26/b...

Loved this!! The final lines in particular were so striking. I remember the guys in my classes in high school spitting into bottles to cut weight before matches. I was always so concerned about what it was doing to their bodies. Really strong work!

Vaccines cause adults
Tylenol causes pain relief
Neurodiversity is good

Very pleased to say that someone did indeed want to buy it and it will be available for you to read in a couple of months!

good morning

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

I'm so sorry, M.R. Losing your companion is the worst feeling in the world. Thinking of you today.

Auto-cannibalism, transformation, messy family relationships and more: "Erysichthon’s Daughter" is a story that has it all and holds it all together wonderfully. Read this story by M.R. Robinson in our issue 21 today:
