Hello there! I made this account a while ago but never got around to using it or saying hi. So, hi!
I'm Emma, a bi non-binary #indieauthor currently pulling myself back together after a sort of creative burnout by consuming large and producing small quantities of #fanfic
Some links etc downthread.

It’s been a rough few years for reading, so I thought I’d see if @thestorygraph.com January Pages challenge can help me get back into the habit.
Also stumbled across the @bafflingmag.bsky.social Year Two antho, which I have a story in and also still haven’t read! Two birds?

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Naming characters and places in your book is tough, but remember, there's a hockey player named Ivan Ivan and a province named Newfoundland. You don't need to overthink it.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

As we start romanticizing art & community again, can we also romanticize writing as a communal activity instead of a elitist loner one?
I write best with friends. I love sharing messy WIPs. The most rewarding part of writing is getting to see other people's reactions to what I've made.

Here is my review:

I think these queer games are getting delisted because the company is going out of business, not related to censorship?, but still worth picking up!
