Welp, it's done for now. I really hope #Affinity Designer continues to work; I stopped updating it after the buyout (I don't trust #Canva, and rightly so it seems).
Guess I'll go back to #Inkscape when I need to.

Ah. It costs $100 per record to remove, and there is no option in the form to take your office correspondence phone number off the thing. And the help request form autofails some sort of captcha. #authors #indieauthors #artists #originalart #painters #booksky #onlinesafety #cybersecurity #privacy

It gives us something that shows how badass the glow-up will be. An AI image is a tangential imitation of not your work, and it isn't what you're really doing.

It was really, really great. I've been hunting down filk recordings for a couple of years now (it's wild how many times I heard of filk without realizing it was a storied and active thing). I didn't know there was a filksing planned until the day of the first one.

tldr: A filksing is a song circle with fan music, parodies, and other things. I made new connections, tried something new, and had a moment of peace.

I am cleaning up Diadem Station. It should get posted within a few weeks. Needs must, and I have only so much time, so my short-list is bug fixes, palette-swap art to eke out the different creatures, and some misc. items.
I'm looking forward to sharing my work!
I would call them; at least it's a metric (and you'll have interactions on record). I don't think I need to go as far as that nickname, though--getting taken and trafficked seems a lot more hellish. This is a light inconvenience by comparison.

Don't get me wrong: it's very satisfying. I'm really enjoying the things that work. But oh my lord, every new task is such a saga of "so why DOESN'T this work also how do I do that"...
Think of her like the kind of character that isn't working for the villains, but they certainly aren't helping the main cast, either.
She's a brute, a loud-mouthed brat, and despite her considerable strength, she really only does what she wants-- terrorizing Novria.
I formatted up a copy of The Green Lodge Cypher (my horror nerd zine) for 8.5x11" paper; I think it loses something when not in 11x17" but it's easier if you don't want to go out and get it printed somewhere.
