Hey what's going on with people getting arrested for trying to block AI data centers all over the country

It's almost like the AI industry and fascism have the same goals in mind IDK IDK I'm not a doctor

My illustrator finished reading my book and gave it an 8/10.
so glad it was liked :)

I grew up with metal gear. I'd highly recommend the series.
The most accessible way is probably with the master collection vol.1 on whichever medium you prefer :)

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book

if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.

Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

PS. chances are, I sound "cringe" and I have no idea what I'm doing and I have no idea how to sound encouraging but I'm trying anyway. But that's what I mean. Just because you don't know how, doesn't mean you can't start anyway. School helps, a lot. I mean a LOT. But you're where your dreams start.

Is any of that advice good? They worked for me.
if I'm stuck on starting a story, that's where I start and then I just keep going and refine as necessary.
From high school to parallel worlds to Greek myth interpretations and an entire separate mythology.
If I can do it, so can you.
You got this!

The world is so big. You can write any story you want.
How do I know? I know because I'm a brat who knows absolutely nothing about how to write, but I'm still at 1.2 million words. is any of it good? I don't know. I think so.
Just keep telling yourself "I got this" and adapt as needed.

"What about where they live?" "Is their world fictional?" "is it based on a real place? or is it a real place?"
"OK so I've ironed out all that, is this about a bad guy destroying the world? Or is it slice of life? or Romance? What genre is it?"
"What is the draw?" "What's the demographic?"

I buy that lie every day nearly. If you want to write a story and don't know where to start, here's where: start with a conversation.
Then ask yourself "OK, who are these people? What about their names?"
then: "What led them to that place?" "Are they friends?" "What about their families?"

But we as a society need to do away with a lot of things. One of them is the idea that we can't do something just because its hard.
"I can't write more than 2 pages of something because I'm not the creative type." is the biggest lie I've ever told myself, and the worst part is; I bought it.

I think to myself, every single day, and I mean EVERY DAY, and I say to myself "What the hell am I doing? I can't do that thing." (Whatever "that thing" is)
But half the time, its about writing more of a story.
Sometimes its learning weight painting.(which is really hard)

have 3 more stories to write, and edit for, on top of the 5 I'm currently working on editing.
If writing that much has taught me anything its this...
"You can do anything you put your mind to."
this is so blase' and so generic. Not to mention media-riffic. But heres the thing.

I'm sure I've said this before, but I don't remember if I mentioned this here.
When I started writing way back in october of 2021, I never expected I'd get past 2 pages. let alone 10. But currently I have 1.2 million words typed down and there's going to be more to come than that because I still-

Chapter 8 is about 135 pages.
chapter 9 is about 160 pages.
chapter 10 is about 140 pages.
again paperback.
altogether "Tempest" is about 850-900 pages or 200,000 words.
Tempest is roughly about 178,000-192,000 words depending on the program. open office says 178,000, but notepad++ says 192,000.

Finished this round of edits for what I call Chapter 7 of 10 for a story I'm working on.
I call the story "Tempest"
I consider it to be an LGBT story about saving the world from the apocalypse.
Chapter 7 alone was... about 100 paperback pages. 96-108 technically.

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi.

Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

Well, I updated a ton of stuff between both parts of the book that I was working on.
updated the bookmarks in the TOC, added and fixed some dialogue, and modified things that are necessary to improve readability.
so... Yay... editing 678 pages...(Paperback size format)

But its from a different perspective.
While the main 330,000 word story is a "complete" story, this accompanying piece explains more "on the back side" and is a prequel, midquel, and sequel.
That sounds really ambitious, but it kinda makes sense in the story. At least IMO.

its important to note that I have had this story written for over 2 years, so its not like I wrote a new 330,000 word story.
that being said, I do also have an accompanying story that I'm working on revising, so its more like 500,000+ words as its directly relevant, involving the same characters.

its comprised of 30 chapters for the moment, but given how big some are, its possible it might be more chapters.
that being said, as its for a videogame, might be fine.

ok, the other day, I finished revising the script for a story that I wrote in the range of approximately 330,000 words for a game script. it descripts actions, and dialogue.
(Actions such as "This person did this" and dialogue such as what characters said.)

Greetings to all my new followers.
I have a message for you

Abolish the Republican Party.

Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and fury. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

You know how the Magica Riot cutie crew and I feel about transphobes and TERFs

XAN: Like many people, I was delighted by the news that Bridget comes out as trans in the latest Guilty Gear game! XAN: As a trans woman myself, I'm... THAT GUY: Retcon! XAN: What? THAT GUY: Retcon! You claim to be a trans woman now, but on several occasions in the past, you insisted you were a man! According to the internet, that's a Retcon! XAN: Okay... well... That was the past. I'm telling you I'm a woman now, can you accept that? THAT GUY: I dunno. This conversation might not even be canon. XAN: Of course it's canon! THAT GUY: And maybe it's just translator bias! I'll only accept this if it comes from the original Scouse language version of you. PAST XAN: Ahhhr'ey, bein' a lad's doin' me 'ead in, like... XAN: You don't even speak Scouse! THAT GUY: I have several online translators. XAN: What's the problem with just accepting I'm a trans woman? THAT GUY: Because this is a tragic loss for feminine male representation! XAN: Do you even know any feminine men? THAT GUY: Well geez, not anymore I guess

Oh hey remember Bridget discourse

Remember trying to have a nuanced conversation about transness with the most bad-faith men on the internet

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.
