I self-published, but from early on in my writing I had a specific artist in mind that I wanted to make my covers. And @nozomimats.bsky.social knocked it out of the park! It was money the best of spent, her style was PERFECT for it! I couldn't imagine leaving such an important choice to a publisher.

Aw, I thought you made some great points with it. As writer I was like 'YES, this is exactly what's bothered me, and better explained than I could have articulated!'

...And now I wish I'd screenshotted it before it went away. :/

Grey Cocoa is... weirdly off-putting. Almost viscerally disturbing for reasons I can't quite express.

I think I might have to join the bad guys.

Happy birthday to one of my favorite artists! Hope you have/had a great one!

But what's our best enema?

I loved that comic. I almost wish Gail Simone was a real person.

Physical copies will be releasing in the near future and book 2 should be out later this month!

Don't let executives tell you that "AI" is inevitable or the future or a fact of life. People choose what tools to use, and VERY few of them wish to supplant creativity with pre-canned "cost effective" regurgitations.

Haven't been reading as much as I'd like recently, but mostly been reading System Lost by Dark Technomancer ( www.royalroad.com/fiction/1099... ) as new updates come out.

A girl wakes up in a strange and deadly labyrinth, but she finds allies she needs to survive in... herself?

Solid rec from me!

I like B more for a mouse pad, specifically.

C's a better piece of art, but B strikes a nice balance between interesting and "I'm not going to get upset if an edge gets frayed"

Which is kinda important for something in use.

Oof, hope you get to feeling better! May you indulge in your favored hot beverage that helps.

She has decided to let you live this time.

omfg, how did I miss this originally? I just snort-laughed when I saw it.

Perfection, no notes.

I might be crazy, but that's my favorite stage. Boot it up and things work and you get a few blissful days of absurd performance before bloat slows it down a bit and/or you get numb to it.
