I’ve been saying that since his first regime. Once you’ve seen it, you recognize it.

All of the above. With regularity!

Your photos, your stories, your music, your sketches, your dance moves, your fursuits/fursuiting.
All of it makes this life worth living. All of it makes this fandom bigger than the sum of its parts.

Don't ever talk yourself out of creating what you love because dammit, all of us love it too.

When that time comes, if you think of it, please tag me in a comment to the post? I spend so little time on here that it would be easy to miss.

If you do the blog post, I plan to send it to the author, who wouldn't listen to *me*. Maybe to you!!

I had to read a 70k word mss recently that was 100% present perfect. My brain still hurts. There's a new word in here somewhere. Sensi-tensive. In-tense-somnia. 🤔

😠😡🤬

I don't really consider this a cause for celebration, since (among other things) it worries for me how few books must be getting sold overall. 😩🤦‍♀️ But whether I hate it or love it, when a book zips in & out of that elusive #1 slot on strength of a handful of sales (or not) it's hard to ignore.

That first one. Seriously... could not publishers (big, small, self, indie... I don't care) do such a thing pretty easily? Or would scammers just co-opt it and destroy the value? Wish I could think of a realistic way actually to implement this.

Just sayin... on behalf of the savage introverts among us. 🫣
