I'm just over here toiling away on 17th and 18th-century legal history unmoored to any contemporary issue, and it took me two years before I even started putting pen to paper.
Discovering a brand-new understanding of 600 years+ of legal history and having a written paper in weeks is... curious.

Maybe just me but to me it's incredibly obvious what these "birthright deniers" are up to. It's not an academic project, it's a political one, attempting to provide cover for conservative jurists who are now being asked to rule on this very question, and need a fig leaf of justification.

I have to pick a dude in Love amd Deep Space based on what I THINK they're like from watching Xiaohongshu AMVs. I'm pretty sure they are:
Repressed doctor who's secretly sexually aggressive.
Vampire who might be in the mafia.
Mermaid Prince.
My own brother.
Young person who gets jealous a lot?

I love meeting people who've never met autistic gamers before 😂
Family friend watching my bf outside with her Bop-It: What's he doing?
Me: Figuring it out. He'll beat your high score in a minute.
FF: No way. He only started today!
Bf walking in, frowning: It stops scoring after 100.

I think one of the reasons I'm vibing so hard with my latest book is that both of the characters are expressions of my own gender fluidity.
Sometimes I just want to be a little guy cuddling into my big muscular girlfriend, sometimes I wanna be a muscle mommy protecting my cute little guy.

I didn't really grow up around many Arabic people and I can't believe I've missed this enthusiasm all my life.
I showed my friend the drawing I just finished and he said "Masha'Allah u did so good! Alf mabrouk!"

I just really love the idea of being the best friend who's like jumping from a helicopter onto a motorbike to stop the hot mafia boss who's trying to kidnap and marry your best friend while she's on her date with a hot billionaire.
Hey has anyone written a parody book about the best friend in romance novels whose entire life revolves around her friend's love life and being there for her? I'd like to read/write that.

Here's how bad of a writer I am. I've got documents full of scenes for my novels, I've been writing them for years. I'm always whinging that I can't write plots. It only now right at this moment occurred to me to organise these scenes in chronological order to see how much plot I actually have.

While ReBoot isn't lost media by any means, the extent to which this restoration project has been going is simply INCREDIBLE.
They got the D-1 master tapes. Then the hardware to read them. Then service manuals to repair/maintain. THEN, CRITICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. And now they're ERROR CORRECTING.

I am in awe. The folks at ReBoot ReWind have done something astonishing. A remarkable feat of engineering, ingenuity and love. Check it out and give them some ReBooty love in return.

Damn man I really want to try writing an enemies to lovers.
And not a rivals to lovers or a "that person pisses me off so much" to lovers but a lifetime hatred to lovers where when you read it you're like "How the hell could either of them possibly overcome this?".
It sounds fun and challenging.

I feel like people trash hetero romance readers a lot for "reinforcing patriarchy" without really looking at the fact that this kind of fiction is more or less kink.
I don't really enjoy this kind of fiction myself but I don't think it's really reasonable to put that burden on people.

Anyway stay tuned, my book has a lesbian firefighter love interest who becomes a magical knight to protect the girl she once let down, who she will never disappoint again and will protect to her last breath (which will never come, because we do not kill our gays in this house).
I wish there was more mainstream lesbian fiction and media.
One thing a lot of people don't know is how many lesbians consume heterosexual otome games and hetero romance novels just because that's what's available in the mainstream.
