my characters in another life ⚡️ #cipherwip edition

(all credit for this concept to @realgmorrow.bsky.social, I think!)
forgot I outlined most of a feminist femgore literary horror in an absolute rage-soaked fugue state but I just found the outline again and ...... it slaps???
see the problem is I am really good at coming up with a banging cast of characters but the minute you mention "plot" and "structure" I run screaming into the woods
I hurt myself today (came up with a new WIP idea)
writing historical romantasy really has me asking the big questions, such as: what is the sexiest title (duke, earl, viscount, or baron) (marquess is out by default there is nothing sexy about that word)

An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writing*your* books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.
thinking of doing a Plotting June and then Zero Draft July (in the style of NaNo) if anyone wants to join me?

older people and especially librarians defaulting to supporting any and all AI tool bc they don’t want to be considered “out of touch” is embarrassingly pathetic
singlehandedly changing the faerie romantasy landscape
love how I told myself I'd work on this new WIP as a distraction from the complex and difficult worldbuilding of cipherWIP. you know! something soft! something easy! .............and then I immediately tumbled headfirst into complex and difficult worlbuilding for this new project

brain, why

Pedants: actually, AI doesn't use that much water compared to farming

Wise people: literally a single drop of water spent on the Plagiarism Machine That Lies is one drop too many
the entire Oppenheimer soundtrack by Ludwig Göransson, but especially Gravity Swallows Light
👀 #cipherwip: the wartime codebreaking of Bletchley Park meets the steampunk-industrial vibes of ARCANE and BLADES IN THE DARK...
Comp your book to anything BUT books! TV shows, games, hobbies, existing ships, you name it! Just can't be a book! #WritingPrompt
Lachlan: human abjuration wizard, lawful good
Alys: drow battle smith artificer, true neutral
If your MC(s) were in DND what would be their class and alignment? (Or what were they if they were from DND?) #WritingPrompt

thinking of making a Slow Writers Support Group discord or something lmfao I need other people who understand the struggle of slow development on their work

Something I've been calling #PaladinInPinkWIP — a burnt-out college grad, a hot archfey, a world built on game rules, a quest to find a sibling long thought gone for good, and a flirtatious bard full of secrets guiding the way.

I have been having a BLAST, your honours 🫡
wax children and the primal fear we have of our mothers... oh you are cooking
