Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

Watercolour painting of three Goldcrests amongst ivy

Watercolour painting of three Goldcrests amongst ivy

Occasionally we get tiny Goldcrests in the garden, hunting for insects amongst the evergreens. They’re resident in Britain, but some Goldcrests cross the North Sea to escape the harsher continental winters; people used to believe they rode on the backs of migrating Woodcocks. (watercolour)

Flat illustration of at least 17 European Starlings against a blue background. Most birds have a star in their beak which connects them to other starlings represented with a string.

A copy of the book in a bookshop. "The chains will break. The gods will answer"

Happy publication day to Sister Wake by @daveruddenwrites.bsky.social!

A rich epic fantasy of colonial revenge and magic inspired by Ireland's history of British occupation and Celtic mythology: lots of political intrigue, brutal oppression and survival, and rageful walking gods ✨✊

Rin is an OC owned by me (Stasanie)
Rin is a Yinshin, a closed species created by Mathilde PΓ©riΓ©

Rin is depicted here in her exalted form. She has a unicorn-like appearance with a thick dragon-like tail covered in golden scales. The front half of her body is dark maroon in colour, and the hind part of her body is pink. She has a light pink mane covered in hellebore flowers. She stands facing away from the viewer against a dark sunset sky. Creamy clouds billow up in the distance, and a pink willow hangs overhead. In the foreground are more of her affinity flowers - the hellebore.

There is a box with a colour swatch in it for a dark coral colour called "Bittersweet Memory"

This artwork was created for Nexus and features the OCs Perun (who belongs to nexus) and Fern (who belongs to me).
Perun and Fern are enoki, a closed species created by Helixel.

Two demon women sit kneeling in a forest clearing. They are surrounded by bushes full of blue roses. Perun, the blue one, holds a small bouquet of fresh roses she has picked - holding one to her nose to take in the aroma. Meanwhile Fern, the green one, braids Perun’s hair.

This artwork is for malleyricon.bsky.social and features his OC Osore the dragon.

A ghostly dragon serpentines its pale body through the walls of an abandoned church. It’s mane billows like spectral smoke, and it’s face is clad in a metal mask. In the background there is a stained glass window depicting a sword, and red wisps pour in through the broken panes, revealing a red sky outside.

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas.

Stop uploading VAs voices ripped from audiodramas to character dot ai. It is theft and it is sick and creepy as fuck, and the environment destroying GenAI companies are profiting off our work because you are stealing it for them. Just stop.

Been listening to So Much Audio Drama lately and I would give my left arm for an audio drama WRITING conference. We're all about the sound design and the voice acting, and I think we're there on that! But the WRITING my friends. It's a different skill to what everyone thinks it is.
