If you're a writer, read outside the genre you write in, and read old stuff. Partly this expands your horizons but mostly it gives you stuff to rip off without anyone noticing.

Fare (1/4)

A comic page. The title says “Fare, by Allie Drake.” A crow person sits on her bed having a text message conversation with someone.

She says: “idk, it feels like I’m doing it wrong / I thought I was going to feel like a girl by now / how much longer do I have to wait?”

Her friend responds: “youre already a girl! / but also like / i get it, it takes time / you were started on a really low dosage too / wait / youre taking it sublingually right?”

The crow girl sends back: “um / I’m just swallowing it?”

The crow girl’s friend says: “you gotta let it dissolve under your tongue / it bypasses your liver that way, goes directly to your bloodstream*”

*This comic is not medical advice, please consult your doctor/endocrinologist/cool friends

The crow girl responds: “huh! I guess I’ll try that, thanks”

The takes a pill from her bottle (which says “_stradiol” on it), puts it under her tongue, and promptly lays down and falls to sleep on her bed. A blue-green glow emanates from the bottom of the page.

Oh another hot take, everyone talks about how to keep readers of MG/YA gns as they age out. But the discussion always ignores that a lot of those gns are contemporary stories (not SFF). So until we have a decent selection of adult contemporary stories they will keep aging out.

Liam McGuire @liammcguire.bsky.social · 12d

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?
