Haven't done one of these in a long while, so... Hi, folks. I'm Todd. I write horror and weird fiction, have authored several books (DEVIL'S CREEK, SCANLINES, THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE, et al.), and designed several books as well (Dullington Design Co). It's great to meet y'all!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Yes.
For 2 + years now, when asked for a blurb from me, the writer requesting the blurb must confirm that they did not use AI/LMMs in the writing/researching of the book.
If I blurb something and find out later that the author lied to me, I will loudly retract my support. I don't support scabs.

(1/2) Speaking as a math person, I question the validity and rigor of the sample and study given who commissioned it. However, more writers/readers must adopt a zero tolerance policy when it comes to supporting OTHER writers using AI for fiction.

New Report Examines Writers’ Attitudes toward AI
A study commissioned by the Gotham Ghostwriters and Bernoff.com found that while 61% of professional writers are embracing AI tools, authors, specifically fiction authors, are much more wary.
