Hey folks! I know people are stretched a little thin right now but I wanted to boost this fundraiser for @siwc.bsky.social -- which as some may know cancelled this year so as to avoid crossing the picket line for the con hotel staff. (But now they are broke!)

Shares appreciated!

I recently received a note that my characters sound too much alike. What are yall’s strategies for voice in dialogue? Especially if you have several people with similar jobs/backgrounds. #scriptsky #scriptwriting

Hahaha. I just pictured a bunch of lost penguins peering suspiciously at each other.

I’m also a first timer. So intimidated.

I’m watching the @nytimes feed of Climate Forward today, and boy oh boy those reps from Microsoft and google absolutely refused to answer the questions. They ARE NOT on the side of the planet. Speaking from Omaha where we are running a coal plant just for your corporations.

So...guess what I've been doing?

It's the story of an ex-harpy, her harpy ex-girlfriend, and some extremely opinionated weaponry. Pastries! Operettas! Complicated friendships! Coming soon to a page or e-reader near you!

Hi friends!

Things are really tight. I had to graduate from a manual chair with power assist to a fully powered chair due to my illness, which means my beloved Colours chair needs to find a new home. It’s powered by the Yamaha NaviOne system, which is fabulous.

Please share.

A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

A close up on a project bag and purple yarn. Overlaid text reads: last chance! Halloween kit pre-orders close tomorrow, August 20!

A coil of hand dyed purple and green yarn laid on top of twisted skeins of the same colorway.

Three skeins of yarn laid out on a purple and black mushroom print fabric. The left skein is nearly black solid, the center skein is a variegated purple, black, grey and green, and the right skein is an acid yellow-green solid.

A project bag in a purple black spooky mushroom print with a black top sits on a wooden stool with a skein of purple and green variegated yarn lying next to it.

HALLOWEEN KIT PREORDERS CLOSE TOMORROW, AUGUST 20!

I think pairing one skein of the kit yarn with two of witch’s brew would make a lovely Arcade Shawl!

What would you make with this kit yarn?

Would you pick knitting or crochet or a secret third thing? 🧶

Falling Forever by P.A. Cornell In this universe, time runs in reverse. Though, I suppose that’s all relative. From my point of view, time is moving backwards, at least for the moment. And not a moment too soon. The spots fade fr…

It doesn’t matter if you don’t directly engage with nsfw work, letting a few large companies control what art is censored is bad for *all* of us. (And let’s be real, they’re coming after all queer work as well even if it contains nothing nsfw.)

You too!
