the problem with having such a long fic and spending so long between writing chapters is trying to make sure i don’t contradict myself with something i wrote two years ago in an old chapter 🥲

We’ve got double trouble! It looks like these little guys have gotten into the matches…. Uh can someone please get them out of there before they set something else on fire?

billions of dollars and untold environmental damage for this groundbreaking technology

I honestly think that crying over a book is one of the most prominent sign of compassion for humanity. You’re crying over someone who isn’t really there, doesn’t really exist, but you still feel for them as if you have known them your entire life.

Current writing advice I'm seeing on TikTok and Insta is telling authors to stop using em dashes in their work because, "AI uses em dashes so people will think you've used AI."

Y'know, the AI that was trained on the stolen work of real authors?

Anyway, I will not be doing that. What I will be doing, however, is adding a note at the start of all my books that no AI was used in the creation of my work because I, the author, did not go to university for four fucking years to study English literature and linguistics only to be told I can't use proper grammar because someone might think a robot wrote it.

Fucking, insane.

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader
