Why do we fantasize about being transported to other worlds? And why does living in a world full of dragons and danger seem so much more manageable than our own?

Had a really enlightening moment during tonight's lit club meeting where I realized that every time I try to write horror, it just comes out sad instead. I'm good at using the aesthetic trappings and elements of horror, but the stories I write almost always turn out melancholy rather than scary.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

No clue what Umineko is. Every time I see a screenshot it looks like this to me:

Battler: (. . . but if you spell "ICUP". . .) Ah. . ! No! It can't be!
Beatrice: Ohhhhhohohohoho! Battler, you dumb fuck!

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?
Here's what this is actually about, dumbass

PRO TIP

If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot

leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.

I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

Today on 8PR: we start our first foray into parallel timelines in Virtue's Last Reward, and are immediately rewarded with some Shenanigans™! We also get trolled by a really simple dice puzzle for an incredibly stupid reason.

This ain't my style of writing, but one of the writers in my circle is planning to submit here, and I *know* some of y'all are freaks for this.
You can start submitting poetry, prose, and art pieces to the lit mag! From today until 3/1/26, you can email us up to three (3) pieces (only one will be chosen) of the queer, erotically grotesque, and monstrous.

This Black Friday: buy my friend's cool novel
It's itch.io creator day, which means itch is forgoing their cut for the day.

My novel is free and will always be free, but if you feel like tossing me some dosh for the paid version (has a concept artwork gallery and a special afterword), then today is a great day to do it!

Today on 8PR: we take a break from the bookclub to play a game suggested to us by our patrons--20 Small Mazes. It's a short, delightful experience that I can't recommend enough.

fun fact: it is impossible to distinguish between a piece of art that met no audience, and a piece of art that met a silent one

but conversely: a small but passionate and vocal one will feel so much larger to the creator than a large but passive and quiet one

we wanna hear you, its why we do this
Always and forever grateful to my friends and supporters and people for leaving comments. 💜💜💜

if you're defending "boundary pushing" art by saying "this is art, not pornography" you're just throwing another kind of art under the bus for your chosen form of art. porn can be art. tittilating, erotic, arousing art is still art, and sexuality isn't something that magically makes art NOT art.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

This is a fun question. If I had any say over it, it would be a display full of yuri and isekai light novels. Having worked in a major bookstore and knowing how they work, however, I already know the display would just be 26 copies of 'Ready Player One' and nothing else. God, that book annoys me.
I saw an interesting question recently on youtube: what would a display in a bookstore look like if it was specifically designed for fans of your book.

You know what I mean.
