Thanks so much for this!

Artemis is definitely not a Gideon clone though. There's some Karlach overlap maybe (again, Artemis existed long before we ever met Karlach, but Karlach does keep reminding me of her). But again, golden retriever energy tropes. 😁

We have a snarky (not raunchy) golden retriever butch in a cyberpunk series we've been working on since before either of us knew Gideon existed and long before I ever read the books. (I only *just* read them a few months ago! I really didn't think they were going to be my thing.)

Gotcha! Yeah, the red hair kinda makes it just a bit on the nose. I like a snarky golden retriever butch though. Have since long before Gideon was a thing. 😁 I totally get being tired of it if it is that blatant of a ripoff though.

(Not being aggressive with the ask, btw. Just genuinely want to know. :) Since Gideon really isn't all that unique and is a bunch of tropes herself.)

Out of curiosity, what part of the trope do you consider "Temu Gideon?"

This is an oldie of my renders, but here you go. This is Calypso. One of Angie's D&D characters. 😁

Well hello there. Sold! :)

Good luck! We can empathize. Michigan for the moment (at least the part we're in) is relatively ok, but we're planning exit strategies and it's infuriating that we have to do so. Hugs (if you like them) and solidarity. 💜

Oh, and art by me (Lydia). :) No AI used.

As someone else writing cyberpunk with a heaping helping of hopepunk, hell yes. I LOVE that!!

Also, I'm just ridiculously excited to see someone writing something with the same vibe! 💜

Thanks so much for setting this up! Please add us to the list, if you don't mind. I am new to the facebook group (under my personal account) and would love to be part of it here as well. :)

Ooh! Thanks to all the authors! Can't wait to dig into some of these. 💜
