Crime Of the Week status report: this weekend I did re-takes of troublesome lines. Once those get edited into place, the majority of the audio work will be done. Music is lined up and I have a logo image I'm content with.
My current hope is to have a trailer out by mid-June, for a July release.

This ground-breaking book came out in 1974 (back when fantasy by women was still thin on the ground) and so many writers of my generation were hugely influenced by it, as well as by her subsequent work. She was an absolutely master of fantasy literature, and deserves to be more widely known as such.
"She rode home slowly through the snow, the Falcon circling above her head, sometimes soaring to heights where he looked to her like a faint dark star in the day sky, then dropping down to her, lightning swift. She spoke to no one, her eyes black, blind and no one she passed stopped her."

Currently I can't install the YT app in Kobi, nor play YT links in VLC. It runs ok in Chromium but any vid w/speaking does not line up with video. YT in Firefox is depressingly bad.
I think I can get the thing I'm missing for Kobi from github, but I've never used it, so I have lots of reading to do

My biggest issue seems to be coming from YouTube's unrelenting enshittification - all the easy solutions from years past appear fucked for now.
It does lofi videos in browser fine enough for now. A problem for another day.

I want to talk about cisgendered representation. It was important to me to get the cis experience right, so when cis readers said I got it wrong, I LISTENED. These are some of the cis characters in the book. 🧵
