Personally I will die on the hill that ACOTAR is not genre romance (if you give someone book #1 telling them it's a romance they will either call 911 on you because of the red flags, or if they like the "romance" they will call 911 on you in book #2 for betraying them)

N/C was a genre romance tho!

Yeah the article included interviews with romance genre experts, I'm guessing it was put in motion long before the ACOTAR news dropped. I don't think ACOTAR was even in it? (can't recall now.) I only mentioned it b/c that series was like Fifty Shades before it: it brought a wave of new readers in

greg I have never been so sad I don't live in a place where I can order a complicated drink right now

you can imagine I am. LOLOL

(she wants me to sit at the desk to block it off so it's like a little safe cave)

fuck them all the way!!!!

I think you might be focusing on a specific fight that is not really what the broader discussion in the article was about? I'm trying to backwards engineer this b/c I don't think I have seen a single post about ACOTAR 5/6 over here, but are people mad because they want to know if this is Elain/???

what discourse are you talking about? like there is no "the" discourse, this genre has been fighting about 1st vs 3rd and past vs present for the 18 years I've been writing in it, and that is what I was expressing when I quote posted the article about 1st vs 3rd: same as it ever was

why on earth can you not do multiple POVs in 1st person as well? Plenty of people do it. I really really really hope it's not JUST about that this time around because like, what?????????

also my last 3rd person POV book has 3 narrators, one for each lead's POV?

I really want to go to bed, and I was all snuggled up there, but then The Sky Did Thunder and now I'm in my office with Lyra under my desk, because she needs to be under someone's desk until she has forgiven the sky.

I only have $50 right now but it is now your $50

ABSOLUTELY FUCK THIS.

Going to rage donate the quarters I can shake free of the couch because good god I hate people who want to means test mutual aid.

I am less of a discussion person and more of a doing things person, so my only contribution to all of this is: I think that article was in bad faith, and the person who wrote it should feel bad.

I mean my mortgage is $750/month, I suspect I can not afford to rent most apartments right now

Thank you!!!! I put those on my list.

a maine hot dog bun which is different because each side is like a slice of bread that can be toasted, instead of the entire outside being crust

when we first moved to Minnesota WE COULD NOT FIND THESE ANYWHEREEEEEE

I have pretty dark skies honestly (I live in the middle of nowhere!!!!) hmmmmm now I'm wondering

I am fairly sure 65 would never fit on any of my fingers but I love it so much

so I found a cool hack that is called having surgery so they put my hand in a splint bound to my chest and I just have to hold my phone in my left hand and whimper at it

I will let you know if it works. 😭

do you need super fancy binoculars to see cool stuff? I would like to see cool stuff

My pink wall now has a white hexagon storage board and I printed little pink holders the size of my inks. I gave momiji, yama-budo, shin-roku, and kon-peki

I think I have two more colors I was looking at getting, but now I have an ink wall!

I am worried for them but also feel very impressed with myself now, thank you!

you can find people to agree with literally anything, if you try hard enough! and in this country probably a startling number! but yeah... this is not the general line folks are drawing in the sand lol

OH NOOOO

yeah, I am 97% sure that the mortgage interest deduction only matters if you itemize deductions, and outside of my business taxes, we are also basic standard deduction bitches. also our mortgage interest in 2025 was like $3000 🤣

I love the sound but I DEFINITELY have had folks tell me the 3d printed swooshy sound is UPSETTING to them. same with the flexi cubes!

I fully believe you should not get weird tax benefits to having a house that you don't get if you are renting (tho pretty sure I don't get any because I'm too poor & my mortgage is too tiny for it to matter. and anything else like that!

I thought I hated them, but now I kinda like the sound they make??? (I used some of my extra silk.)

thinking about trying them in that cursed eryone silk that kept failing on the whistles, since I need to do SOMETHING with it

Yeah, I mean obviously it's more complicated than "houses good" but also it is not as simple as "no one is allowed to own a house" which is really what they're trying to say, and I don't think anyone is saying that!!!

listen you can see my hand in its little wrist brace, I'm doing my best!!! LOL

2 weeks to surgery. I bet having full sensation in my fingers at all times will make everything easier!

I may be looking for encouragement, yes. lol
