She/they. Award-winning (!) author, poet, editor, animal lover. I write love stories & dirges. Very not-straight. Adults only. No AI ever. TERFs begone!

This take isn't hot, it's shallow & tepid.
Actual accessibility in books = audiobooks, legible print, braille versions. Actionable items that improve ACCESS to the text.
Every single reader, abled & disabled, could give you a different definition of what makes prose "approachable." It's a vaguery!
THIS WHOLE FUCKING THREAD
Look, my writing process is HIGHLY erratic. This is why I don't share WIP Snippets. I will go MONTHS with zero words, then squirt out 120,000 words in two months. I will write five words one day, then eight thousand the next. I have NO consistency. This does not mean AI!
This story just genuinely moved me to tears, please read it.

Nadine has definitely committed battery many times over her life lmao, although a vast majority of those were pure self-defense.
Ulu has done *many* crimes, including theft, burglary, larceny, counterfeiting, forgery, fraud, & so on. She's also been known to do some light hacking.

I know people are very excited about the Emboss tool in Ellipsus that can show readers how often the writer paused and if those pauses seem like "natural" human pauses or .... something artificial, something that hints at perhaps AI being involved.
