mandating equality in public accommodations is so woke 1.0. woke 2.0 means mandating that every building accessible to the public have a John Waters Restroom (all gender)

Your reminder that Joss Whedon wasn’t allowed to be alone with 14 year old Michelle Trachtenberg.

Just if you’re getting excited about his career re-launch and don’t care about his revolting behaviour toward Charisma Carpenter.

What genre / length are we talking about?

I've got an erotica novelette about precisely that, but somehow I doubt that's what you mean

That said, I know it's VERY hard to get it 100% right when using stock or CC0 images because they've all been infiltrated with slop, and not everyone has a fucking art degree

But it's also very obvious when you scroll a profile who is trying not to use it and who is going all in

Another day, another new writer account that I've blocked for using Very Obviously AI art for covers.

AI stole my fucking job so this is a hill I will absolutely die on.

Yeah, Amazon rules to make sure the new edition didn't get banned.

It also went through a round of dev edits, so it's also got a few new scenes and a fair bit of expanded content. But, like, still very much the same story overall

Being demisexual makes it real hard to to rebel against the status quo by writing sicko pervert shit

Depressed about anti-trans news coming out of the States, so I'm banging away at revisions on current trans romance WIP, which is all BIG MUSHY FEELINGS ABOUT TOUCH-STARVED CUDDLING

It was nearly one-thirty by the time Maks left, but Eamon was far too agitated to go to sleep. So he didn’t even try, instead opting to stare at the ceiling while having an existential crisis instead. 

What in the name of the gods was he *doing*? 

In a city of three-quarters of a million people, Eamon had somehow found the one person more damaged than he was. Maks didn’t have the first clue about boundaries, or consent, or even healthy attachment. And while Eamon hadn’t exactly gotten the best education about that stuff while growing up, at least all he’d had to deal with was some fairly run-of-the-mill parental neglect and emotional abuse from his ten older siblings. All of which paled in comparison to the very ugly picture painted by Maks’ obviously trauma-based reactions and assumptions.

Someone probably needs to see this today.
