Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
A Facebook post from Scrivener: "Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you're on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. Here's why, and what you can do if you want to remove this" attention-grabbing graphic says "SCRIVENER AND AI: WHY DO I SEE AI PROMPTS IN MY SCRIVENER PROJECTS ON MAC?"

AWARD ELIGIBILITY -- PAINTED FLOCK

- Self-published June 2025
- Eligible as a novel
- Canadian (Quebec) author
- Fantasy

I poured my little aro heart into this one. The setting is deeply rooted in my love for Quebec City. I think it's some of my best, most mature work. It would mean A LOT to me. 💙
The cover for Painted Flock, in which a masc person and a child stand in a city street with their back to the viewer. The child is pointing towards a flock of birds swooping through the sky. At the end of the street is an open space with a tall pineless larch tree in front of fortifications, and the figure of a fat woman waving at them. The entire cover is in tones of blue, and it is clearly set in winter.
