I’m weird and so is my dog. Schadenfreude enthusiast. Constant Reader. Here (mostly) for the fictional horror. 🦇 And the occasional apocalyptic tourism (thanks Chuck).

Serenade Clay for an ARC #booksky

Clay McLeod Chapman @claymcleod.bsky.social · 2h

My new YA sci-fi horror novel SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE invades shelves in ONE MONTH.

To celebrate the countdown, I’m giving away three ARCs!

All you gotta do is record yourself singing a snippet of a particular tune… DM or post your clips & I’ll select 3 lucky readers… @getunderlined.bsky.social

Fun!

Also, great selection.

Absolutely!

Less so when the author behaves like a petulant child.

Not to mention, if all of your reviews were glowing, readers wouldn’t necessarily trust them.

I’ve no doubt an unfavorable review stings, but, come on, man. Grow up.

Also, my favorite comparison, thus far.

Side by side of Stephen miller and a rectal polyp.

Like so many of his ilk…whenever I find out their age do a “wait, wut?”

More the overwhelming urge to revisit their catalog, which served as this morning’s soundtrack. They were a favorite in high school.

It's skeleton time! My name is Hampus and I can't stop thinking about skeletons. Let's share dat bony goodness

💀 Post your skeleton art
🦴 Invite your friends, if you want
💀 Be nice to each other
🦴 Posters of genAI will be blocked and possibly lose their IRL skeleton!? 😱

A digital painting of a naked woman kneeling before a gigantic honey-colored flower with a skull in the center. The woman is rendered in shades of purple and red, her head cast back, eyes closed and lips smiling. Her long black hair is flowing down, covering her butt. Her arms are stretched behind her, bent slightly at the elbow. Some joker has written "Skeleton art share" over the picture

Beau’s publisher isn’t paying him what he is owed, so if you need any of his books I recommend you opt for this to support him❤️

Hi Sheena. For the foreseeable future and until I find a new publisher, my website it the only place. I have to mail them out so there is that additional cost. Better for people to wait til I find a new home. But if they can’t wait,

Glad you’ve found a work around (and are willing to go through the extra steps)…losing art on here would be a massive disappointment.

Do you preorder #booksky? Science!

Alexandra Rowland @alexandrarowland.bsky.social · 1d

There's a lot of received wisdom about what motivates readers to preorder, but I've been wondering if cold hard data can back that up -- so I'm doing SCIENCE!

Reader Survey: What Drives Preorders?

🐾 Mutual aid pet commissions 🐾

Would you like a digital graphite-like drawing of your pet, or that of a loved one? I'm offering £60 commissions to raise money for a community member!

Please DM if interested. Reposts appreciated.

#ArtCommissions #ArtSky #AnimalArt #MutualAid

A graphite like digital drawing of a jaguar, dropping down from a ledge. Text reads, "60 pet commission for mutual aid. Any animal welcome. Style example above. One slot available at a time." Background is an orange, yellow and turquoise gradient.

The previous drawing faded. Text reads, "Commissions are digital art, a high resolution file will be sent. (300DPI for personal printing)

No commercial use. No permission for use to train AI or make an NFT.

Commissions are to raise money for Mari, a multiply marginalised person with severe ME suffering caregiver abuse. I will send the donation info once commission is confirmed and will begin after proof of at least £60 has been shown."

Truly.

I’m so sorry.

Including the sales after your (original) announcement?!?

Either way, it’s bullshit and I hope there’s some legal recourse.
