There's nothing like being on break from your job when you get a notification from your girlfriend that just says "babe the clankers are having sex."

The 2024-2025 pro hater run is still going strong. Don't ever let someone tell you spite isn't a motivator.

Learning Naomi Novak was a prolific incest writer on a03 makes me feel so justified in not reading any of her books. Lol

The age of scorpius debacle shows me that booktok cares way more about tearing down a young queer ND author because she was a little too egotistical about it rather than criticizing the abuse rhetoric, racism, and homophobia that their favorite books perpetuate.

Im responsible for at least 4 of those quotes. Because I am unhinged ;)
A brief collage of people's reactions to the main character of my novel in the querying trenches, THE TELFORD LIAR. My beta readers are all so normal about her. Don't you want to be normal about her, too?

Watching Reylo explode in popularity during trump's first term and now seeing the dramione Renaissance...I fear the book girlies aren't making it out with this one

White cishet Christian women can perpetuate bigotry to a degree that is almost near identical to their male counterparts and im tired of any criticism towards them being labeled as misogynistic. Privelege is a helluva drug, and I say this as a white woman who IS marginalized in multiple ways.
Trans woman: [criticizes cishet tradwife slop]
Cis woman, hollering like a hit dog: This PERSON is basically ANDREW TATE. This PERSON is doing a VIOLENT MISOGYNY.

Looks like someone just got demoted to library only! I love shadow of the leviathan too.

It's funny how his latest books also critique those in power but he rambles on Twitter about how worthless menial work done by interns are. Come on, man.
hey look, a guy who definitely will not be winning the best novel hugo award this year!!

(also truly cannot get over him acknowledging that ai uses a ton of water but then comparing it to things like aluminum production, as if ai use is a thing we need as much as aluminum lmao)

Every single thing I learn about Expidition 33's making convinces me that I am eventually going to be forced to tattoo its emblems onto my body
what do you mean the dude who composed Expedition 33's soundtrack, the director just randomly found his soundcloud and offered him the job on the spot

I actually love women so much that I take the (surprisingly difficult for some people) opinion that we should not be subjected to space nazi romances or other hetslop that repackage and resell womens subjugation and oppression in a nice bow. I think women deserve better writing than that.
This was an actual thing in case anyone's wondering.

This may be a hot take but the fanfiction community is one of the most hypocritical ones out there. You can't demand people to take your artform seriously and then foster a culture where criticism is seen as rude and harassment.

"plucky protagonist who isn't like other women" who falls in love with "literally hitler junior" is about the most popular romance genre right now and that's bad. that's a bad thing. we should be really critical of the way the global backslide into fascism is being reflected in what we consume.

I can understand a lot of "taboo" shipping tropes, but the two I will never ever understand are bully/victim and mafia. After being bullied as a child and doing so much research into how racist and misogynistic the mob are....yall wanna romanticize that???

This you, miss "fiction doesn't affect reality"?

I'm up to about 15 ways Dani can still win, and with your help, we can double that and give it to my gf by the end of the year
In 1945, a Jewish college hopeful fakes being an old money WASP to get around admissions quotas—and finds herself descending into crime to maintain the ruse.
Now querying: THE TELFORD LIAR.

I complain a lot about the oversaturation of blue eyed love interests in books and i end up with a gf who has the prettiest bluest ass eyes. Someone writing my life has a sense of humor

So I've been building up my substack content, and I'm almost ready to release my big essay on a more critical look on shadow daddies

In the mean time, I'm very proud of this essay that's part review, part critique on the abuse narrative in fiction! #booksky
