It's only been a few months ago when I got trash talked over my use of AI, haters claiming that AI can't produce anything good. Haters love to be short-sighted. Bc it's easier for them. They have a ready-made script.

I try to stay out of anything political, but where I draw the line is where innocent people get hurt, or don't have the rights they deserve. These things have nothing to do with political agenda, these things matter to everyone. It breaks my heart when people don't see that.

If LGBTQAI+ rights don't matter, if POC don't matter, what's the point of America? I thought our great nation was suppose to be about all kinds of people, living among each other, getting along? I grew up in a very diverse household, apparently not everyone did.

If only... I feel ya, Evren.

I write characters of all kinds. Sometimes I have the classic hero trope, but usually I like to mix it up. But there's room for all in fiction!

Coming Soon! Planks & Plunder Prepare to repel boarders!

I originally sent a story submission for this anthology, however, the press received so many stories they liked, they decided to open up a second anthology. I love the cover for this anthology! Can't wait to see the second volume cover.

Hello #WritingCommunity! I'm looking to connect with readers and authors of #darkfantasy and #scifi, especially those in the #LGBTQAI+ lit, and fellow members of the LGBTQAI+!

Also feel free to add me to lists in any of those categories!!!!

❤️🩵🩷💚💜💛🧡

Hello #writingcommunity! I'm new here, and I'm hoping to connect with others who enjoy YA/NA #darkfantasy with #queer characters. I'm hoping to write to market, as I want to give She Who Shall Not Be Named some competition!

Evil dark wizards can't stand a chance if we all unite!

I will be adding a lot of like-minded people, but please, if you're the type to hate an entire group of people, go away! Unless it's Nazis/bigots, I hate those groups too, lol. But everyone else, no blanket hatred. That's called bigotry, and I hate it. I will call it out if I see it.

I look forward to seeing my very first acceptance appear in CORSAIRS AND CUTLASSES with Racooneur Press! My short story, The Leviathan's Price, will be out in November! I'm hoping this is an excellent start to publishing more with Racooneur Press!

I write gritty speculative fiction where friendship is magic, queer bonds are celebrated, and everyday moments shimmer with wonder. Luminous imagery, dry wit, and a love for found family shape their stories.

I'm pansexual, pronouns are she/her, DM with respect.
Not looking to hookup!

Whoa, watching this video, that beginning tip, OMG. This is soooo old school. I'm not saying that she's wrong, it's just old school. Things have changed. Writing has changed. Publishing has changed.

#WritingCommunity

6/6 One more thing, the anti-AI crowd aren't my audience. So their threats of blacklisting means jackshit. Bc I have no desire to play in their sandboxes anymore than they have a desire to play in mine. I'll be fine. So will they.

5/6 But as long as a huge amount of the creative community wants to war over the use of AI, they will be meant with opposition. This is a war. We won't be bullied into silence. I know, I'm a party pooper. Tough toodles.

4/6 If the anti-AI crowd wants to crucify me over it, let them. I will use them for PR. Haters are the best fans, after all. Bring it on, make me famous. Or, we could just shake hands, respect that we each use different tools, and go do our own things. I actually prefer that one.

3/6 and a few bad actors. AI is a tool. I still put a shit ton of myself into my writing, and that's with using a shit ton of AI. But see, I actually went out of my way to learn how to do it right, and I still use writing craft in the process. Some of us actually learned how it's done properly.

2/6 AI, and I stand against actual abuse done by bad ppl using AI. I agree that Anthropic was guilty for pirating books, and ergo needed to pay up. Actual theft is illegal. But not everyone who uses AI is stealing. Such things are called, stereotyping. Prejudice. Assumptions made based on headlines,

1/6 When authors who oppose AI say things like, "Using AI will kill your career, and get you blacklisted." I say this back, "Okie doke. Wouldn't be the first time I have dealt with bigots trying to shut me down. I'm pan, support equality, so I'm used to it. Bring it on!"

I'm open about using

If more people could get past their prejudices, they'd find family and friends everywhere. Seriously, what stops a lot of bonds from forming is due to asinine wars that should have never been conceived. If ppl want peace, they need to start with themselves. Some ppl get that, just not enough.

LOVED IT! And that press they're talking about? I'm apart of it! I write under a new penname for the FFP, but it's still dark fantasy, with a lot of grimdark influence. With the FFP, I write to market, but it's going to be awesome!

Always nice to connect with AI friendly ppl.

Just today, using YourFirstDraft through the FFA, I was able to crank out a story dossier plus first chapter that was amazing. I put a lot of myself into the process, and I could tell. Almost ready to have it spin up an an entire draft.

Oh I understand. Even on here, a while back, I got soooo much hate over AI, even by authors I used to respect. And many of those AI haters love to send death threats, and lawsuits. Although it's mostly just talk, but it's harassment.

Advice says, when you're in entertainment, you shouldn't talk about controversial topics. But here's the thing, I don't want ppl to like me now, only to change their mind later bc I was too much of a coward to be myself. I'm me, warts and all. I'm your trigger warning. Take me as I am, or don't.

Rarely should an entire group of people be judged in a stereotype. The exceptions are pedos, and Nazis. There might be a very few others, but not many. Just because you hate something, it doesn't give the right to demonize. Most of the time, not everyone in a group is the same.

Even being pro-AI, I support the ruling with Anthropic. Training usually isn't theft, but when it's done on pirated books, it IS theft! Fuckers who do that shit give every pro-AI person a bad name. I'm all about authors getting paid. I was an author long before AI, so I get it.

So exciting that I'm now contracted (under a different penname) for a dark fantasy trilogy! All thanks to the Future Fiction Press!

Oh yeah, AI-haters need not apply. While I do a lot of writing on my own, I still use the fuck out of AI. This press is actually openly AI. No closets, baby!
