Okay, so I just heard of an interesting genre mashup: women's fiction and horror. Ex. is The Haunting of Hill House. Thoughts? #genremashup #booksky

I just majorly went down the rabbit hole. Everything from real swords to pulling out the AD&D rules from 30(?) years ago and every companion book to it. Zero words were written and ultimately, it was decided it didn't matter since the MMC is a dragon shifter. Sigh.

I was supposed to write 500 words todayโ€ฆ instead; I researched medieval sword names for three hours and stared at my outline for another two. ๐Ÿคกโœ๏ธ"

โœจ Superhero RH = Paranormal? โœจ

If a hero falls for a villain (or three ๐Ÿ˜‰) & their powers come from magic or gifts, does it count as paranormal romance? Whereโ€™s the line between superpowers & the supernatural? Letโ€™s talk! โฌ‡๏ธ

I don't know if this is a real quote from him or not, but it's a good one, so I'll put it out here.

I'm not usually political, but I will put this out there as a history buff. When one side feels another side is taking a way of life from them, you get a civil war. But when the general populace cannot afford the basics of life, you get the fucking French Revolution. And that's a whole other thing.

I'm confused. Do they follow diversity or not?

Most obvious that's been in the news is Costco.

I just donated to Wikipedia. Not the best source media, but I'll be damned if some butthurt billionaire is going to ruin this site too.
