Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.
Everybody who claimed it was just about the kids should be whacked in the shins
Cover art featuring the back of a mohawk-ed head, smoking a cigarette; a yellow door opens into the back of his head, a small person in silhouette peeking through. Text: Sort of a comedy of manners but it's actually a horror of manners and the manners are all for shit. PUNK IS HELL. Drink up and get down with the dreamers, the desperate, the deranged and the damned.
🔥💀COVER ART REVEAL💀🔥
This November we're holding the bar down w/dirtbags, deviants, comedians, musicians, murderers, mystics, & a vampire.

Cover image of a book called The Collected Hulderotica Year One, written by Kaya Skovdatter. Background is a figure in a shadowed figure in a scarf and dress, holding an umbrella. Their face too is covered in shadow, only two unnerving points of light shining out of that darkness. Around the figure is a lush, overgrown forest painted in a variety of greens, and before them is a rock-edged forest pool with the figure's reflection cast in its green-tinged surface. The title is overlaid against the cover image, its text matte white.
The Collected Hulderotica Year One is out in six days (03/17), and on discounted pre-order.
24 stories, a full 160k of queer (trans/pan/poly+) paranormal romance/erotica+ in the vein of Lost Girl, Sanctuary, and Supernatural:

We didn’t get a ton of donations yesterday and the payments for TMS are due soon, so I wanted to boost this again. Can we make it $2000 by the end of the week? Please repost this if you see it! Thank you to everyone who has helped so far! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund
That super strong, super brave trans woman you know wishes she could just be some lady.
Seems like a new boycott just dropped. Let's see who ends up being the CostCo to their Target.
Omg what???
⚔️ NESS stretch goals from now on are pay bumps for ✒️authors & 🎨artists
😮 We're at 10c a word and Editor Oliver is keen to shoot for 12c
🐐 I happen to have a novelette. I'm proud of it, I can't wait for you to see it -- and feast on Linnea Sterte's 4 illustrations

The "hilarious" thing about constant, unexpected costs is that I have been trying to put together funds to legally change my name for MONTHS. Every time I get partway there an emergency crops up and that money goes to something else.
One day, you know?
"But why buy copies now? It'll be out in a few days."
Yes but it's LESS now, though: 33% off until release day - next Tuesday.
AND I have multiple new, unexpected costs, some as of yesterday, some as of this morning...
Life of a freelancer, always in need of money. :/
Did last year's subscribers also get A WHOLE OTHER secret book with their subscriber copies of The Collected Hulderotica Year One?
Yes.
Will that happen again?
Yes. :)

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money
Public pressure can work.
I've talked about this here before, but my experience as a journalism instructor is that Grammarly makes students' writing worse. This was true even several years ago, pre-GenAI hype. The mushy, even incoherent sentences it created were what caused me to start warning them off it.

Friends you can now read Aliya Whiteley's "After the Last Night Comes the Rest of Your Life." Locus called it "A fine and truly weird tale." It is that, and more.
Enjoy!

When y'all buy from indie authors, it impacts us profoundly. Especially if it goes outside the circle of authors trading a few dollars back and forth amongst ourselves.
I'd love to see a repeat of that study into the language used around male & female authors writing in the same genre, and the study into advance sizes offered within genres.
Is the gap closing at all? Because outwith romantasy, it doesn't feel like it
""I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue ..."
Handy tip for cis folk, we aren't an idea, like freedom or liberty, we are actual flesh and blood people. So if you're going to write a thread about us, make sure you get a trans friend to read it first, and if you don't have a trans friend, ask yourself why the fuck not and stop writing about us
Please help my girlfriend get through this rough patch
