Thinking about how about 5 years ago, I only had one friend in the Naruto community, who'd been my friend for 10 years. I let go of our friendship 3 years ago now, due to some srs political differences.

But now, I'm finding my community 😭💙 I'm so happy to find my people. Esp y'all Ibiki stans.

HECK

THAT WAS FUCKING FAST BABE

"I just use ChatGPT to..." no
Stop right there

There is zero justified reason to use chatGPT. ZERO.
use your own god damn brain.
Research. Study. THINK.
I promise you are much better off without the slop generator thinking for you

So I see! And yeah let’s keep the angy out of pillowfort. That would be nice. 🥴

Woot! I’ll catch you when I get home 🫶🏻

Yeah! I just signed up and have seen a bit more interaction than I’ve seen elsewhere. So far it’s pretty chill!

I am going to keep it real with you. One of my goals for this year was to have one of my books included in a book box because everyone and their mama was doing it. And then I found out that for a lot of book boxes (NOT ALL BOOK BOXES), authors weren't getting paid fairly.

Mina Harker from my Dracula retelling is messy as hell, and I am allowing her to be. Mina's not perfect; she fucks up, and she is going through hell. I have a feeling that Mina is going to get the "Unlikable FMC" stamped on her forehead by readers, but there needs to be room for messy Black women.

The author community really needs to talk about how we are all so worried about art commissions, special editions, and audiobooks to the point that some writers are forgetting about the meat and potatoes of their business: writing damn good books.

Something I wish other writers would understand is that you do not need to take advice/feedback you're given, but if you get the same feedback repeatedly, you should probably listen.
I understand wanting to maintain your voice/vision, BUT that also means limiting your audience.
1/3

So far I’ve been able to make better connections there than on Tumblr. I’ve had a few fun convos! And it feels better than Tumblr and Bsky.

(I’m SeraphRDM there btw)

The other thing I really, really like about Pillowfort, is it's focused on making connections and interacting, not collecting numbers. You have no clue how many followers anyone has, you can only see your own stats. And that's so nice because it makes everyone feel equal.

"You have to write to market to make loads of money."

You mean write nothing but white people?

#WIPSnips Inarora's 12 yes, but have you considered her baby doll is the best of all and is the softest.

Fun fact, her doll is based off of mine. That I still have. (well, a version of). Except her doll is purple and an elven baby rather than a human with pink.
