#ChaosChat it is a wonderful day in your manuscript and you have to introduce a horrible goose — what's it up to?

Okay a little less than one hour now but would it be #ChaosChat if the timing wasn’t slightly messed up?

Sorry #ChaosChat friends… gonna have to postpone our next bout of chaos to next week. Forgot I had a (minor, don’t worry!) medical procedure booked for tomorrow and the prep is making me very cranky and I don’t want to subject yall to that, so we’ll reconvene when I am better suited to human company

Thanks for joining, #ChaosChat! Hopefully next round I remember to announce it's starting in a few hours instead of just starting without having said a word for two weeks.

#ChaosChat you'd think I'd plan what I want to share when I know I'm going to do this, but that requires more forethought than I am apparently capable of. So here's a photo I took today.

#ChaosChat second question, on world building! Maybe you write fantasy or sci-fi or otherwise not in our world. how are queer identities celebrated in that world?

Welcome welcome to another round of #ChaosChat! Tonight's edition will once again focus on Pride, since it's almost the end of June (although if you ask me, pride month should be every month).

Art by @elizmanderson.com, based off of a drawing of a bird in a similar scenario which I unfortunately cannot find right now but if anyone has it and the artist credit please let me know.
Two sketches of a disgruntled opossum. In the top sketch it sits sulking with arms crossed. In the second sketch it is in the same pose, but its head is thrown back and mouth open as it yells motherfucker

#ChaosChat the hardest one of the night: you get a choice of up to four characters, three speakers and one unfortunate victim

#ChaosChat a fun one right now: which TWO characters would say this? 🤔
a square image with a dark blue background and multicoloured flames rising from the bottom. the top of the image says # Chaos Chat in glowing red font. below is a screenshot of a tumblr post that says You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection. [gives him a strange look and hands him a piece of gum] [thinking] Gum would be pertection. Gum would be perfection. I could have said gum would be nice, could have said I'll have a stick. But no no no no no, for me, gum is perfection. I loathe myself.

#ChaosChat this is just me, basically, but you can’t use me as an answer, you have to pick one of your own characters. You didn’t write me. And if you did, damn, have I got some questions about the choices you made.

WELCOME BACK to another episode of #ChaosChat! Tonight’s theme is incorrect quotes because your host just escaped a family barbecue and I am tired. So, I’m going to post an incorrect quote, and you’re going to tell me which of your characters would say it! Yay, fun!
a square image with a dark blue background and multicoloured flames rising from the bottom. the top of the image says # Chaos Chat in glowing red font. below is a screenshot of a tumblr post that says pick your battles. Pick…pick fewer battles than that. Put some battles back. That’s too many.

#ChaosChat question three! Community, especially queer community, is more important now than ever. What kind of communities do you write?

#ChaosChat question two! It's time for your MC to lip-sync for their life (depending on what kind of antagonist they're up against, maybe literally?)

Welcome to #ChaosChat! If this caught you by surprise because I didn't say a single word about it today, you're not the only one! I forgot it was happening until about 2 minutes ago! I am nothing if not on brand.

I bet y'all thought I forgot 😤
(I didn't, I'm just a trash possum)
But guess what?
What better time to start the chaos than on the first day of Pride Month?
Join me tomorrow, 7PM-8PM EST. Can't make it then? So what? Join whenever. Answer late. Answer early, if you're a mind reader. It's #ChaosChat!
