Stand By Me. Absolutely stunning. One of my top five favorite movies.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

He had so much of my admiration. Such an incredible loss.

I really don't have any words right now. What a horrific end to a horrific year.

I have no words. I want to work for the world Rob Reiner wanted and deserved but right now I just want to lie down.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

Trauma, justice, true love. And queer happiness, wicked battles, and magic. There's always cats. Always tea.

Writer/director of a movie of Stephen King's From a Buick 8. Or Augustus Roth's Last Man Standing. Or showrunner/writer for a multi-season arc for Gregory Ashe's Hazard and Somerset novels. And/or his Borealis Investigations novels.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Nicely stated. I would have found this incredibly helpful when I was starting out years ago.

Enforcing a G rating on the entire internet is fascist and if you're clutching pearls directly at strangers instead of cultivating your own space you're part of the problem.

I like it, but it's not necessarily literary. It feels more 'adventure on a new world' kind of story. The colours are great and it's eye catching!

Seeing very crappy hateful men writers furious that women are so successful in the fantasy genre makes me proud to be a published fantasy author ahahaha

Yes. Several. Anna Spark Smith and Anna Stephens to start. Provided this is a genuine question? If you're actually interested you'll find plenty of them. I write them, too.

Who are the five authors who made you?

Weis and Hickman
Wendy and Richard Pini
Tad Williams
Michael Moorcock
Robin Hobb

I look at that and see exactly what I write: old-school dark, heroic, epic fantasy with a touch of romance. Aka nobledark fantasy.

I'm auditing a program in which we have to write a premise a day for a year. Ideas ARE NOT the problem. Learning writing craft solves the problem of 'no ideas' and not knowing how to implement them once you get them. Learn craft, and you have no need for AI.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

If you made a 51st state joke or told a Canadian they were irrational, sorry but you're now contractually obligated to buy a book by a Canadian author according to a rule I just made up.
