#WeeknightWriters In order to free up time for #FirstDraftFall I finished my two 3k pieces to submit to a zine. So happy that I can still write short! No links sadly as the zine will only be published next year.
Q6: Do you have anything exciting going on outside of #FirstDraftFall - recent or upcoming publications, other exciting projects, etc? Share it here & be sure to post links if you have them!

#WeeknightWriters Keep posting... I might not be able to respond (cos time) but seeing other people's progress is super useful!

#WeeknightWriters I'm weak for good worksheets, and enjoying all the bsky posts with the #FirstDraftFall tag!

#WeeknightWriters Mostly been working on prequel due to energy levels, since character interactions are easy to write than the strategy meeting I have to set the stage with. People bonding is a lot easier to write than people being snippy over a war that isn't going well.
Q2: Are you struggling with anything specific in your #FirstDraftFall project? Tell us about it and we’ll see how we can help! #WeeknightWriters

#WeeknightWriters I'm feeling great about putting down words, less great about where in the #FirstDraftFall story timeline about where those words are. But progress is progress.
Q1: How are you feeling about your #FirstDraftFall progress so far? Excited? Disheartened? #WeeknightWriters

Hi #WeeknightWriters !
I'm Rowan/raynos and my WIP for #FirstDraftFall is about a hidden tactician fighting aliens that can copy the appearance of their enemies.
... Except I've been working on the prequel where the aliens do not appear in frame lol.

The characters get to eat a lot of desserts, since one of the characters makes a lot of her own desserts and enjoys feeding the others. There's also another character that's called the Dessert Witch, pictured below.

If I am ever fortunate enough to magically become a billionaire, I will very quickly become a former billionaire. No way I would horde all that for myself.
listen I get it I get that we all have to be wary of how power corrupts (because it does) but I also think at some point it lets people like bezos and musk off the hook. "you'd be like them too in that position" the fuck I would
I don't think being rich makes you a monster so much as the process by which people become rich requires monsters as a prerequisite and nothing about the Epstein file revelations has dissuaded me of this notion

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*
