Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Just for transparency, my publisher has spent more on a single book visibility site this month than has received sales in books.

If you want to support a wonderful indie LGBTQ+ run publisher, please give their catalogue a look: www.inspired-quill.com/books/

This is another very significant reason why I want to be successful: that it passes that success onto others that I very much care for. It means more comfort, visibility, stability and fulfilled ambitions for my publisher, and more support for every other author they dedicate themselves to.
Twitter thread screenshot from Inspired Quill: "This year has been tough. The Publishing industry has seen some amazing presses close their doors, and the bookish landscape is poorer for it. Those of us who are still around are experiencing ever-reducing margins and caffeine dependence. This year IQ's goal was to sell 175 books directly through our website. Not a ridiculously high number, but I've just checked and we managed a whole 69 (no smirking please). We did better than some other indie presses who had to close their doors this year, and behind others racing ahead with excellent titles, campaigns and support. As we move into 2024, remember that as readers with platforms, you matter, so so much. Keep shouting about your fave books, and the presses you admire. Eventually I hope IQ will be on more radars.

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️
THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE sol rios At 2pm and 2am. Sleep, I remember you. Please, wait for me. I send out 7 reminders to eat a day. Like little paper lifeboats. It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too. I need company for my shot. 3ml of Estradiol over facetime. I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up. Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question. I was going to sit in the bathtub until you responded. And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday. Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter. In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you. I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

Read through @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social 's latest book "You Weren't Meant to be Human" today, and...damn. I think I'm going to need a moment. I'm not crying, you're crying!

Anyways, I'd heartily recommend it, though do be warned it has quite a decent amount of content warnings attached to it!

There's a great temptation to do a "Hello World" post for my first message on this account, but I guess on account of creative writing being my focus over gamedev at this stage, perhaps "Salutations Celestial Body" would be more fitting!
