It honestly feels good to actually have a voice again in a situation like this. Sure it's scary still due to everything, but I'm tired of not having that voice to tell people "Fuck off, let us be artists and let us be politcal."

I didn't realize this was going on, thank you for informing me. I reposted this and also filled it out. This gives me hope that we can actually get through this.

I've actually held off in actually talking about the world on bluesky for the fact that it's more complicated in a shorter format.

*shrugs* I've been building this world since about 2021-2022. It was more of a way to get out of a writing slump that I was having with a different world that I was writing a novel for (still working on rough draft stage). Each short story explores something different within the same world.

Defeantly figuring out stage. The only thing I know that is the throughline is the Cursed World setting that they're all in. Even timeline are different for each.

As of right now, not yet. This push for the Anthology was just started 10 days ago. So it's still pretty early in development.

For this one It's "Dystopian Fantasy Horror" due to the setting I'm using for each short story (same world), as to how many? I'm not sure yet as most of them are actually closer to flash fiction so I would have to compile them into the Kobo EPUB format to decide on that detail.

.... I should be mortified but this honestly has me thinking that maybe all of us artists are strange in some way that break normie and other artists brains.

These situations are getting worse and worse. I do hope you get your other book off that because holy shit. I really hope it doesn't get to the point it is with the Visual arts right now.
