Starting my GDC week off with a bang! I have just been notified that my contract at Rookery Interactive will not be renewed in 2 weeks, so I am suddenly #OpenToWork! Please keep me in mind for any writing or consulting roles. If you're at GDC & would like to meet, lmk!
I’m open to remote roles, or positions in Bangkok!

Hello Fediverse! I am Jonah, a #queer #erotica #author from #Berlin. Looking forward meeting y'all and share my work with you!
I started writing erotica back in the golden Tumblr and LiveJournal days. I already published other #books and #shortstories but this is my penname for (queer) erotica&romance .
I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

Just imagine how different our world could be, if we only started with the basics. As Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once stated: “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.”

How I find most books these days is just browsing my libraries genre tag or seeing if my favorite narrators narrated something new. #Books #Library #Libraries @bookstodon
#WritersCoffeeClub 17/3: Does alcohol intake influence your writing?
I hardly ever drink in the daytime*, and that’s when I write, so in that sense no.
But alcoholic beverages are consumed in the stories. For example, the College of the Dawnsingers is not a dry institution. In fact it has its own brewery, and why not? Brewing was historically often a female trade.
*And moderately in the evening, so hangovers are never a problem.

#WordWeavers 17/3: How organised are your characters?
Jerya was quite self-sufficient from an early age, and spent an early chunk of her adult life as a secretary, and Railu had the full eight year training of a Dawnsinger, which is highly structured. They’re both pretty organised
Some of the others, like Hedric, maybe not so much.

"Tell them they can be great some day, like us.
Tell them they belong among us, no matter how we treat them.
Tell them they must earn the respect which everyone else receives by default.
Tell them there is a standard for acceptance; that standard is simply perfection.
...
Then, they'll break themselves trying for something they can never achieve."
- The Fifth Season quote. NK Jemisin
Suspiciously sounds a lot like kyriarchy informed capitalism.

«Todas las imágenes realizadas por IA se parecen bastante, con un dibujo fotorrealista con gente anodina y que responde a cánones de belleza estrictos: narices pequeñas, pómulos altos, cuellos imposiblemente largos y los ojos son de dos personas distintas» explica el ilustrador David López a El País

Parece que Grupo Planeta no escarmentó lo suficiente con el rechazo masivo que sufrió en 2024 cuando uno de sus sellos, Destino, publicó la edición española de Juana de Arco, de Katherine J. Chen, con una portada hecha por IA generativa.
