yeah if you like low-profile keyboards and you want it to be quieter than the average, it’s a great choice

“white working class” is an inherently reactionary concept. it takes working-class issues - which apply to all working-class people - and turns them into white racial issues, which erases working-class POC and only divides working people.

It's International Lesbian Day! 🧡🤍💗

As a reminder, you can get so many literary lesbians from me at riengray.shop and they are all unabashedly attuned with their sexuality 🔥

My one trad pub release is also available here: www.amazon.com/Her-Wolf-Wil...

Covers for Rien Gray's lesbian romance books: Valerin the Fair, The Scales of Seduction, Her Wolf in the Wild, and Martis the Brazen.

MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE

Chapters 44-45 plus all chapters so far in one file!

This is the story I’ve been working on between ‘real’ projects, because my brain wouldn’t stop bugging me about what KIMMY might have been like if I’d gone a different direction with it.

Out of curiosity, I ran some of my writing through an AI checker to see if it flagged any of it as AI generated. I gave it an allowance for the grammatical suggestions made by Word, but even then the checker tried to tell me 35% of my manuscript was AI generated.

Even these detectors ain't shit.

soon!

(editing will likely take all month, on and off, so I’ll have a date announced when that’s done)

yeah lol

alyson “october” greaves @badambulist.bsky.social · 12h

plus it balances when you view it as a spread rather than as a single page imo

alyson “october” greaves @badambulist.bsky.social · 12h

not changing that from the first book

I still feel a little insane that the *second* book in a series I started writing a year and a half ago is a) fully written and ready for final editing and b) over 300k

this has been a persistent sensation since maybe 2022 actually

alyson “october” greaves @badambulist.bsky.social · 12h

ALL THE WAY comes in at over 300k words so editing and everything else will take a bit

alyson “october” greaves @badambulist.bsky.social · 12h

note that I still need to edit the remaining chapters and do final typesetting before this goes up for order—this was a test for the cover, the font size, margin choice, etc.

the proof for ALL THE WAY is here! I have also included a normal 135k-word (plus illustrations) novel for comparison

a photo of the (very large) novel ALL THE WAY (by me) next to the (more normal-sized) novel THE CATCH (by me and the gorgeous Emory Ahlberg)

another comparison of the two books, showing that ALL THE WAY is like a full cm thicker

It’s already an incredible read full of fun portraits of people you probably recognize: the abusive man who dates trans women on the DL, the patriarchypilled woman who Can Fix Him if she only loves him perfectly…
