I make my work available for free on yokai.com my ebooks are relatively cheap specifically because I love yokai and want to share this culture with the world. So it's all the more infuriating when some charlatan not only steals my content but gets the facts wrong. It undoes so much of my hard work.
Its upsetting enough that @dailykos.com is OK with publishing plagiarized work of small, independent author/illustrators.
But what makes this worse for me is how long and hard I've worked to promote facts about yokai, only to have this AI slop, incorrect version blasted out by a big corporation.

When The Glory (K-drama) came out and there was all the big talk about it, I tried to watch it, but I couldn't take the abuse. It's a revenge show about high school bullying, but the bullying is sadistic with everyone (adults, etc.) letting it continue. Just devastating stuff.

Grave Cold is your perfect crossover read for Friday the 13th & Valentine's Day. Much of the book is set in cemeteries, but there's also a bit of blooming romance between our outgoing necromancer and reticent reaper.

Today's the day! My upcoming horror is called Catamorphosis! Check out the fabulous cover by Scottish artist Candra Hope, @candrahope.bsky.social!
Cancer was the start of Jasmine's life falling apart, but as she lay dying, the only one at her side her ginger tabby, something uncanny occurred.

This was also my first Cherryh. If you've never read her work and you like sci-fi, space opera, or badass lion women willing to allow a strange, male human in their midst, snap this up! The alien cultures and politics yank you in, but there's also plenty of pew, pew, pew!
My gateway to a lifelong love of C.J. Cherryh was a used copy of The Pride of Chanur, now $1!!!
Alien POV, first contact, learning to communicate, alien culture, alien politics. A great place to start with this star of the field. #speculativefiction #sf #spaceopera

ANYWAY if your tradpub is openly violating contract clauses and fucking you over, you’re not alone. It’s widespread and seems to be accelerating rapidly. Protect your work, protect yourself so far as you can.

We’re at a point in publishing where tradpubs are openly and habitually violating contracts because the C-suites and private equity ghouls literally believe “we’ll just get ‘AI’ to provide slop as ‘books’ and anyway 99.8% of authors are too poor for legal representation anyway.”
