J.M. Weaver 🏳️‍⚧️🪶🔥

I feel this in my heart. I always sweep the internet clean before even trying to commit to a name. There can't be anything vaguely close or I reroll. It's such a real hurt, to think you have the title and . . . nope.

Me: *Gets a rash/allergic reaction on one third of one of my hands*

My brain: "Oh wow, there it is, indisputable evidence that we're dying. The dozenth I've discovered this week! Sepsis here we come babyyyy."

Is there like a name for this genre of your brain worrying way too much about nothing?

I mean yes. But also yes. And if I may be so bold: yes.

Thank you! Part of me is terrified to finally put my work out there but at the same time it's incredibly exciting. One day if I get an audience I'll livestream myself going through all the projects, lore, and drafts I wrote over the years. Like, it's a lot. Basically has this energy:

Hey, you there, psssst. Did you know you can read short stories of mine and sample chapters of my debut novel, Savage as You, on my Tumblr? You do now! Aren't you lucky? Just scroll down to the Prologue! Have fun!

I also write. I've been writing pretty seriously since about 2009. Finished a bunch of novel-length projects, but now I have ones I'm truly proud of that I'm moving forward with and self publishing. My debut novel, Savage as You, will be released ideally by summer. It's a process. (2/2)

I'm Jubilee, I go by Gem as a nickname. I'm very passionate about stories and how they're told. A book that's special to me is Dreamland by Sarah Dessen, it was the first book I ever picked out and chose to read on my own in my teens (not assigned as schoolwork). Inspired me to start writing. (1/2)

Piranesi is one of my favorite novels! Awesome taste otherwise too. :]

Runners up would be Get Out and City of God.

Lightning round: Lapis. The idea of him being on social media amuses me immensely and I might do it in the sequel. I think he'd be wildly popular and probably review human inventions and behaviors. Everyone would think he's playing a character who's 'not human', but he very much isn't.

Hailey: Makeup tutorials where she apologizes way too often for insignificant things. 1000 or so subscribers.

Danielle: Travel vlogs. Fashion hauls. Creepy pasta readings. 1m subs. Hailey is jealous.

Cinder: Thinks social media is dumb but secretly wishes she had an online following.

I see. Thank you. You've helped clear things up for me. Now I scheme. And possibly toil while I'm at it.

What if I want my physical book to possibly be in the library? My local library wants to collab with me when I publish.

Yay! Thank you!

Shoooot. Yeah. I'm buying ten tomorrow I think. This clearly makes the most sense for what I'm trying to do. Many thanks. Then do I need to yeet my book to the Library of Congress or just begin going through KDP or Ingram or whatever?

I'm leaning on this. But it just sucks the hardback and ebook would need separate numbers. If I buy 10 ISBN numbers through Bowker (sp?) It's like the price of two. I wonder if I can assign those numbers a product later. I am sitting on like 3 books as it is. This could get extensive fast. Thanks.

Hey American self-publishing crew, I have a question. Did you guys buy an ISBN number and manually register with the Library of Congress or do self publishing websites handle some of that jargon on their end? Thanks.

So we're just doing North Korean style propaganda now? Aight. Cool cool. News media is actually becoming a lens into a fabricated reality.

QTP with a female anime character you love. ❤️

Nobara Kugisaka from Jujutsu Kaisen. I like her vibe and personality a lot.

Awww that's so sweet!

I met my partner on an old gaming forum for a now-defunct television channel. (G4) Good times.

I liked the idea of there being serious ramifications for carelessly using spells or artes. It puts an interesting ticking clock element in any given skirmish. Axis can also be channeled through a catalyst like a staff or... other things, to help mitigate the impact on the brain.

The Butcher. Large imposing shirtless human with no skin. Black pants/combat boots. A face with a long empty mouth and hollow eyes like a jack-o-lantern. And starting at the elbow of its right arm juts a long serrated blade. I'd actually squee if someone cosplayed them.

To finish editing The List of Ashen Bone, my second book, and get my first book, Savage as You, as close to published as it can get, if not published. I'm thinking I might figure out how to advertise it after it's out. I just want it out there already. I commissioned its cover last May. 💀

This is a really unique system. I dig it. Like incantations or musical spellcraft? Highly imaginative.

Ki can cause immense strain on the heart and body. Reckless use of Axis can cause psychological disorders, even a stroke. It's well advised to train extensively before attempting to master either. Everyone also has an innate element they're aligned with.
There, brief-ish.

I'm Gem. In my universe there're two types of energy: Ki and Axis. Ki can be channeled into Artes (a flaming fist) and Axis into spells (a fireball). Ki exists in blood/the cardiovascular system. Axis exists in spinal fluid/the nervous system. Using either recklessly can be deadly.

Completely unhinged take from this dude. Morrowind is great. Way better game than Oblivion. Just needs a facelift. Maybe remove dice rolls from attacks. That's about it.

Correct! And the nature of Tey 'Ra 'Tah and why it exists is a massive plotpoint. As well as what the Gods and other powerful individuals wish to do with it. TRT's existence also bridges the gap between other realms. So there's a semi-complex network of realms at play.
