Hello, lovely folks. So happy to have y'all here! My name is Addy, I'm a queer author, poet, & librarian.

My books:
🏴‍☠️ The Elysium Proposal - F/Enby Pirate Adventure Romantasy
💞 Where We Converge - M/M Contemporary Paranormal Romantasy set in modern day Chicago.

books2read.com/ap/xXJm2G/AE...
Background of a cracked wall with a vine growing up the sides. Light text reads, "All Kyle wants to do is propose to the love of her life. Unfortunately, it seems that toxic family, a hopeless voyage, & the search for the Well of Eternal Life all have different ideas for how Kyle should be spending her time." The Elysium Proposal "Because nothing ever goes as planned..." Image of the Chicago cityscape in the distance, icy Lake Michigan in the forefront. Text over top reads: "Every so often, life gives us a shot at redemption. When Darius Adair is sent to help a stranger in the dead of night, he never expects that man to be a time traveler who threw himself back in order to stop a threat so severe, it endangered the world as they knew it. He also didn't expect to catch feelings for him." Features the cover from Where We Converge by A.E. Bross.

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

Just made a pretty ARC copy for my equestrian academy fantasy YA series that I'll be launching in a few months. Stay tuned for ARC signups if you love horses, fantasy, YA, and magical beings....

Did I mention there will be horses and equestrian sports?

I appreciate theses bits. ESPECIALLY ACTUAL SALARIED ANIMATORS.
That distinction is crucial. At Glitch, there was no inherited 2D framework, no established departmental flow, no default budgeting model, and no long-standing executive hierarchy telling her how it had always been done. For a creator who spent years navigating those structures at a major U.S. studio, that absence was liberating. "I learned a lot working my way up through the studio system," she said. "I learned from people I admire, and I learned from toxic leadership, things I didn't want to emulate. I wanted to take everything I learned and see if I could create a workable pipeline and make something stunning and beautiful with the resources we had.” Terrace has been candid about the differences between her experience inside a major studio and her current arrangement at Glitch. On a traditional television production, she might have been juggling 10 or more episodes simultaneously under tight broadcast windows. On Knights of Guinevere, the scale is more contained, allowing for longer board schedules and more iterative problem-solving. "At Disney, if something needed to be re-boarded, we were kind of boned," she said. "Here, if something isn't working, we can say, 'This isn't working.' And they'll say, 'Okay, let's try something else.'" That flexibility extends to staffing, too. Rather than relying primarily on freelancers, the production employs salaried in-house animators at Glitch.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wrote a short story you can read for free on my website!

Ash is having body image issues on Valentine's Day and Finn decides to make his lover see him as sexy as he does via bondage makeover and edging that hot guy in the mirror. 😅

VERY spicy. VERY sweet.

Wulf discovers being a werewolf means no orgasms, unless he wants his lovers to run out screaming, so his hot roommates help him train to resist.

But when Sky, vampire S&M club owner comes, will Wulf?

At the top is the title text “Good Boys Don’t Howl” On a background of a brick wall lit with the colors of the bisexual pride flag is the shadow of a howling werewolf and a rain of red feathers. Over the shadow is a neon mouth with red lips and white vampire fangs and a blue and purple hand with a raised index finger in a shushing gesture. Below that is a tagline: “pop goes the werewolf”

Depends on the spell in #Boombride, most spells just fizzle if they're not cast properly.

#Savior71 is another story. Overuse of magic can cause one's wyrd to Rot. If it goes too far, then the spirits whose names are written there will merge with the user, but rarely cleanly. #febchantment
