Trad publishing is eating its own corpse. Simon & Schuster is suing Nelson DeMille’s estate $1.2 million because he died. He didn’t finish the third book in a deal before dying of cancer. But that doesn’t matter to trad publishers. Imagine spending your whole life writing…

Just to be clear if I was a widow and somebody mocked me in this way I would end them. I would hunt them down and I would end them. There is zero question in my mind. I don't give a shit about the consequences I am destroying you.

LMAO at the fake news story where AI researchers deliberately set up a conflict between the system prompt and the user prompt to encourage deceptive behavior. "I never thought robots would drop bricks on MY head," sobs man who programmed a robot to drop bricks on people's heads.

Soooo... I was gone for a few days; in that time, I wrote a standalone in-Universe Novel for a WATCHER of the DAMNED pre-apocalypse prequal, SHADOWBAND - a PatriotPunk CyberNoir Novel submitted for the Ark Prize. It also codifies Key Lore for WATCHER of the DAMNED. (No, that's…

I am living proof you don't have to be the smartest person to write good books (other people said it, not me), but being stubborn and willing to take feedback can fill in the gaps. Book 9 goes out to Beta Readers today 🥳

Now on the Snubstack

LemmySmackett's tweet image. Now on the Snubstack

Deep in the heart of the stygian jungle, beyond the fog-laden hollows and twisted boughs, lies the Ziggurat of Xen'Thul, a blasphemous edifice to the Lord of Decay. The three hundred steps leading to the accursed entrance of this vile temple bear glyph inscriptions of lepers…

Why I have problems marketing my book series: - Girl name on the cover. - NOT romantasy. - No ideological propaganda. - Too literary for fantasy; too fantastical for literary fiction. - Aims to entertain a mature and educated audience. - And I've been excluded from pretty much…

Why I have problems marketing my book series: 🙅🏻‍♂️❤️🐲 Only occasional romance, dragons are rare and machiavellian, not interested in having people ride them. 🗡️📖 Short (for fantasy) and thriller-paced. Not immediately attractive to the doorstopper crowd!

Literally a month ago JDA was slandering Passage Press as some kind of "op". He gets on livestreams with Vox Day and slanders RW Publishers as Peter Thiel "ops". Half a year ago they were running stories baselessly speculating IndieGogo was running out of money.

Pwnt

Based on the timeline and public posts: - First "attack" is subjective; Rob's Jan 20 "Shut the fuck up" was the initial overt hostility, responding to JDA's accusation of "simping" for a company. Negative claims count (key instances): - JDA: 12 (e.g., "evil," "un-Christian,"…

Why are we trying to get this person fired? This person condemns CK's murder. She prays for him. I totally disagree with her 2A views, but this is not murder support, this is free speech!

Director of Health Promotion and Advocacy at @BallState justifies Charlie’s ass*ssination and demonizes him with lies. Any comment @BallState??

Oh no 🙄

Congrats. He says "there". What does that have to do with a single person disputing. I wanted to take my family to your con at one point and was saving for it. Fat chance in a cold hell that will happen now.
