The entitlement of some is unreal. You don't get an author-on-request. Books are not for you personally. What you take away from them is. If you don't like a book, cool! That's okay! Move on.

Also, bring back manners. Write your reviews how you want, but saying this to an author? Who raised you?

That is so hard and scary. I can’t imagine. I’m really sorry you’re going through this and that things are that bad for her.

I’m so sorry. I really hope things get better for her.

Yeah I’m done with Pixar. There is so much wrong with what he said. But I will say that I hoped things would be better than when I was a child. The lack of representation sends a really damaging message to young people.

I’ve never used it and never needed to. It’s so bizarre to me people claim they need it … it’s less than four years old? Calm down.

We didn’t get cyberpunk … we got dumbpunk.

Gen Z *men* don't want kids. They want the visible status supported by women's unpaid labor.

And Gen Z women see through their shit.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE! I am sooo excited to announce that I am now represented by the amazing @socalledyalife.bsky.social (Natascha Morris at The Tobias Literary Agency). Her vision & enthusiasm for my whimsy academia YA novel SOULBOUND just made my whole life. I can’t wait to start this new journeyπŸ₯ΉπŸ’–

That’s tough because almost every writer does that to me. If I can pick a manga writer, Eiichiro Oda.

My story The Blessing Returned is ALL about that! It’s about the return of magic and the restoration of nature.

LONG EPIC FANTASY. I always see people saying they want shorter books, and I want that epic multi POV 10+ volumes that I read when I was young. But more queer than when I was growing up.

#SFFChat Hi I’m Stephanie! History lover and fantasy writers.

I don’t have a lot of accessories. I guess necklaces?

You’re so nice to poke! A lot of second-guessing and wondering what to even say about myself, but I’m getting there!

It has to be in order. If there is a future scene I REALLY want to write, it’s good motivation to keep writing.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.
