Heyo! The Literary Auction for Change is open, with agent critiques, signed copies, book swag, and more up for grabs. And all funds help support diversity in the publishing industry!
I'm offering a 30-min AMA, which can also double as a short story critique: www.32auctions.com/organization...
I am not giving up my em-dash. I don't care what formulation you think are tells or not. And I sure as fuck won't start keeping "proof" and stats about my writing to appease a crowd intent on harm.

One of the worst aspect of genAI is cranking up our paranoia. But that also appeals to the righteous mobs, and it's not healthy for any creative spaces to live in fear of harassment campaigns
Yes this is about Ellipsus' Emboss. It's absolutely wretched that they think this is what we need. The irony is half of it could have been "fun stats about your writing" instead of this bullshit "shield against genAI accusations".
The Spear Cuts Through Water for the narrative framings and playfulness
The Traitor & the Wretch for the incredible characters
Demon Engine for the characters and sheer creativity of the horrors
Several of our CB short stories/poems for hitting me in the feelings
This is just from this year's reading!!
We are never going to reduce human writing to a data driven normal. That's absolute bullshit.
Readers who demand versions history, search history, etc. are operating on cop mentality and need to be told to sit down and shut up, not given tools
