Res (any pronouns are fine), 36, US southeast, lefitist. I'm a forensic analyst and publications specialist, huge fan of horror and pro-wrestling, and I've published a few horror short stories. Working on three novels. I'm chatty about books, cats, horror, wrestling, politics, etc.
Sharing my writing is going great; people truly understand the vibes I am setting down.

Y'all someone in one of my writing servers just said they wanted to write a book about a fictional country having a revolution, but they worried about it being seen as plagiarizing Hamilton. I had to explain to this person that the American Revolutionary War was not invented by Lin Manuel Miranda.

Today, I spent a half an hour failing to convince a younger writer not to name his elf main character "Syphalis" because according to him it sounded cool "like Legolas and Sisyphus," and we were just dirty-minded for immediately thinking of the almost identical venereal disease.

I wrote a tailor-made horror recommendations list for a member of a server I'm a mod on. Spent like 40 minutes on it, keeping in mind each thing he told me about what he liked. Only to be accused of using ChatGPT. I'm so fucking tired of this shit.

Have you ever seen a take so stupid on the internet that you have to sit down, take a break, perhaps even read a book to regain the neural connections that just fried out from seeing something that stupid? I'm there today.
