Thank you!! Bless the hair and eyebrow mods. Not that I dislike the original version of her, but the new one is definitely better.

Okay, it ended up kind of a draw with Frosty, but I got several key mods working so I was able to make my canon Inquisitor:

If you can help him, please do.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Now to decide what mods to implement in DAI for my Inky.... #dragonage

Becca Coffindaffer @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social · 3d

I'm just about done with my canon DA2 run, and the anticipation is BUILDING to restart DAI. I love every DA game for different reasons, but I won't pretend I don't have a favorite child.

i get so much value from @silviamg.bsky.social's publishing threads (buy her books!), so i figured i'd follow in her footsteps with some transparency here 🧵

kamilah cole @wordsiren.bsky.social · 6d

SO LET THEM BURN and THIS ENDS IN EMBERS (yes, both!) have earned out.

SO LET THEM BURN, my debut novel, came out a year ago. THIS ENDS IN EMBERS completed the duology in February. And now every time someone buys a copy in any format, I earn royalties.

I can't stop crying. Thank you so much.

I have had a lot of questions about what to do if you are an author in an anthology/collected work etc.

According to the default rule in the settlement document, the default is that publisher gets 50% and all authors share equally in the remaining 50%.
