Stock photo of a thin white woman with long wavy/curly brown hair. They're wearing a long gothic gown that's sleeveless and mostly black with loose purple fabric in the middle and a decorative corset, with beaded bracelets, along with a bright red sash draped around their elbows. The model is sitting on the floor looking off to the side, arms slightly raised, with one holding a pencil like a wand. There is a skull, fake plant, and bottle of liquid beside her.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I have SO MUCH # Steampunk Husbands Fanart (aka fanart for my upcoming webserial, THE STAR BARON’S HUSBAND), that I'm considering setting up something to host all my favorites (which is honestly all of them).

Maybe a Carrd or a seperate page on the webserial site. Much to think about 🤔💭💙💫

ThePoetJean - art comms open! 💫 @thepoetjean.bsky.social · 1d

A14. While I do envision a happy ending for The Steampunk Husbands and their ilk, I'll be vague about details cuz even if you know a gift is coming, let's keep the details a surprise. I also wanna keep plot details organic when writing, so shhhh for now. Let's find out together 💜

Secondary worlds in Fantasy novels are actually real. All of them. When you close the cover, everyone in that world dies screaming. They die screaming over and over again.

That's on you.

Currently loving the Serial Planner developed by @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social!
It's helped me develop the details for my own webserial and is just a handy outline to use for those in-between TV writing & novel writing:

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

If you're here to tell me to get over it know this: you came to a stranger's post to throw a tantrum about a guy you don't know and never would've known because he never set foot here.

You're holding on to a lie while I'm making jokes.

Who needs to get over it again?

A13. I think that starting THE STAR BARON’S HUSBAND at the night Cy crashlands in Ari's hometown would be the most interesting way to begin their story.

Publishing is a broken system, and most individuals can't fix a whole-ass system, but a thread of ways you can support marginalized authors.

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 4d

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

A12. Besides the systemic issues of The Inheritance System and the society ills of Sesina-- we got two main antognists: Count Sargon and Dr. Reggie Santos.
Count Sargon is Cy's main rival in the art scene and Reggie is Ari's toxic ex who's currently working as an airship scientist.

Being an OC artist who draws ship art of their characters is a very special kind of rarepair situation. It's me, my ocs and the few weirdos staring in the window as I play dolls. Kind of beautiful if you think about it.
