Author of sci-fi, mostly space opera and cyberpunk. I have a few speculative wips as well.
I'm pro AI for those who hate my kind, lol. I don't blame the haters, after all, I'm more Human than Human.
I will of course block all of the haters who spew shit on my posts. 👍

I originally sent a story submission for this anthology, however, the press received so many stories they liked, they decided to open up a second anthology. I love the cover for this anthology! Can't wait to see the second volume cover.

I will be adding a lot of like-minded people, but please, if you're the type to hate an entire group of people, go away! Unless it's Nazis/bigots, I hate those groups too, lol. But everyone else, no blanket hatred. That's called bigotry, and I hate it. I will call it out if I see it.

Hello #writingcommunity! I'm new here, and I'm hoping to connect with others who enjoy YA/NA #darkfantasy with #queer characters. I'm hoping to write to market, as I want to give She Who Shall Not Be Named some competition!

I look forward to seeing my very first acceptance appear in CORSAIRS AND CUTLASSES with Racooneur Press! My short story, The Leviathan's Price, will be out in November! I'm hoping this is an excellent start to publishing more with Racooneur Press!

I write gritty speculative fiction where friendship is magic, queer bonds are celebrated, and everyday moments shimmer with wonder. Luminous imagery, dry wit, and a love for found family shape their stories.
I'm pansexual, pronouns are she/her, DM with respect.

LOVED IT! And that press they're talking about? I'm apart of it! I write under a new penname for the FFP, but it's still dark fantasy, with a lot of grimdark influence. With the FFP, I write to market, but it's going to be awesome!

I don't have an issue with AI training on my writing, if this comes up, which it will. I have an issue when websites pirate books, that's a completely different issue. So yes, I do take issue with AI training on books that being pirated bc I don't support piracy.

This is really cool. Back in 2023, I wanted to write an anthology about bards in a grimdark fantasy, where they are the lead characters. I wanted to come up with songs by those bards as well, something on the level of the bard songs from The Witcher series, now I might be able to do that with Suno.

Lookie here, the court agrees with me that AI training isn't theft. I'm sooo shocked, lol. If it is theft, then every artist who ever trained on another broke the law. Don't comment unless you watched the entire video. Trolls need not apply.

I love these guys. Jay's story reminds me a little of Reign of Fire, so I'm intrigued. I also love how Jay thinks, ppl who say writers who use AI aren't real writers are full of shit. Actually listen to us, yes fuckers, we are actual writers, lol.
