not so much an ask so much as it is a comment, but i started the audiobook for 'this gilded abyss' last night and whenever natalie naudus read any of kessandra's lines i'm like "teehee" and kicking my feet like a teenage girl writing about her crush in her diary. she was such a good choice for the audiobook, omg. (also, i'm really enjoying the book so far!!)
RIGHT?? I listened to her reading Kessandra and just... swooned. She nailed that character. O.O

cozy wintery spidey-headcanon/maybe-prompt?: it‘s around christmas + peter is covering all the patrols for miles so that he can be with his mother but there are many things to be done in the parker household as well like day job work, gifts, decorations, christmas tree, planning christmas dinner etc and peter has been overworked for days + now he’s a bit beat up as well + when one evening he keeps falling asleep instead of/while doing stuff a pregnant mj calls miles for backup. spidey family ftw
Ooooh, I love this. O.O
I’m playing Spider-Man 2 right now, so my brain is whirling on fanfiction ideas. Issue is, I do this full-time now, so it’d have to be squeezed in between the other books I’m on deadline with...
Still.... very interested in this idea. >.> Hmm.....

I love Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and was very excited for A Pirate's Life for Tea, is there a reason I can't find it for purchase in print anywhere?
Ah, thank you so much!!
The Tomes & Tea quartet was actually purchased by a major publisher, and will be reprinted for a re-release in May 2024. Once they took over the books, they stopped printing the indie copies (the paperbacks currently in existence) to prepare for the reprint.
Basically, in a year, it’ll be in every Barnes and Noble... but for now, we’re in the famine phase. T.T
You CAN still get a hold of the ebook on Amazon, if you like to read that way! Or you can keep an eye on Ebay--sometimes used copies appear. I’m anticipating Pirates will be re-released in late summer 2024, so hopefully it won’t be too long to wait. :)
I hope that helps!!

do u have an offical ship name for nix and kess? i NEED to make content of them
The joke between my girlfriend and I is “Kix,” since that entire book feels like a kick in the chest. But I’m also partial to Kessix, because it sounds cool.
So, no. Up to you guys! Haha!

whos taller nix or kess? i would love a visual representation
Kess, hands-down. Nix is probably 3 or 4 inches shorter, and absolutely loathes it. XD

i know you don’t post spider-man content anymore but i just wanted to let you know that with the release of the new insomniac spider-man sequel trailers coming out i’ve been thinking a lot about ur fics!!! they inspired me a lot to write and publish stuff to ao3 all those years ago and since then ive grown so much as a writer!!! thank you so much for the inspiration, keep up the great work!!
AH.
AHHH.
The way I *screamed* reading this. Holy shit, thank you SO MUCH.
I still adore Spider-Man, and am SO STOKED for the new game. I'm sure I'll dive back into the fandom for a bit after I play it, just because game-MJ is such a badass and other iterations don't do her justice. And Peter is so cute. They feel like my best friends. XD
The fact that I inspired you to write, and you're noticing improvement is legit what makes me SO HAPPY though. Writing has been such a wonderful retreat for me, and I'm so excited to hear you're watching yourself improve in real time!!
Keep writing!! You're killing it! :D :D

This Gilded Abyss is fabulous!!! I haven’t been this hooked on a book in months, it’s hard to put down! I even read a few chapters during work hours when my boss was in a closed door meeting, ssshhh, don’t tell on me! 😝 Heading into the last 100 pages, can’t wait to finish it!
HA! Oh my gosh, I'm so, so excited to hear it!! That book took me a while, because I wanted to make sure the twists hit home. This makes me so happy! :D Enjoy that ending! >.>

I’m beyond excited to finally announce that Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea and its sequels will be republished by Tor. TOR. I may have died and gone to heaven.
For anyone unfamiliar, this is Travis Baldree’s publisher too! Legends & Lattes. :D
THANK YOU for everyone who’s been a member of this journey. I am over the moon excited about this!!

You've expressed your love of the original Bioshock and Rapture, was curious your thoughts on Bioshock Infinite and Columbia, especially since it seems controversial among Bioshock fans (personally I prefer Rapture to Columbia, but I love Infinite's crazy story).
LOVED the game. It seemed a lot less creepy to me than Rapture, so I didn’t need a filter of someone else playing it while I hid behind a pillow. :P What I didn’t love is the twist at the end, mainly because I have a habit of shipping two main characters, and that twist made me feel very icky. :| Columbia was great, though! Although I definitely agree Rapture is the one I remember more!

As unspoilery as possible, can you tell us a bit of the inspiration for the setting in "This gilded abyss"? Specifically the fall itself. Love the book!
Bioshock's Rapture has a permanent space in my brain, and has since I was like 14. I'm a lifelong gamer, but I had to have my dad play that game for me, since I spent the majority of it hidden behind a pillow. The *vibes* of that game. Oh my god. LOVE.
So, I knew I wanted to have a book with a concrete time limit--and some very intense external settings that offer a secondary villain. It originally would have been space, but the crushing weight of the ocean was a good backup, and kept me firmly in fantasy, which sells better than sci-fi. (Sad but true.)
Then I just built out the world. I had an idea of the truth behind the setting, and all the pieces just kinda fell into place.
One thing I didn't love is that it's a trilogy now, because I *trapped them too freaking well*. I wanted it to be a standalone, but the worldbuilding didn't allow for it. One way trip, and all. >.> So... stay tuned for book 2, which I will grudgingly tackle later this year.
Thanks for asking!! :D :D
PS: Someone described this book as "Bioshock meets Gideon the Ninth," and I couldn't be more pleased.

AHH. AHHHHHH. I’m legit so, so happy you enjoyed it!!
The timing of this book this week, with the Titan and all the tension about an underwater rescue/recovery, seems flat-out eerie. I’ve been glued to the news feeds, and feeling generally horrified.
I’m so happy you enjoyed my nautical novel, though! Kess and Nix are so freaking hot; I was obsessed with them when I was writing! Glad it translated haha.
Cracking at all your new genres, though. None of us have any clue where this book fits. I said horror, but it’s like, that + thriller + nautical + military + steampunk + biopunk + romance + mystery + fantasy + supernatural... who the hell knows LOL
I just finished "This gilded abyss" by @rebeccathornewrites and boy did it hit me right in my 'princess and knight' fix. Kessandra - aloof, cunning, merciless and sexy as fuck - is SUCH a great princess and her interplay with Nix is frustrating in all the best ways.
Lovely setting. Militaristic with a tuch of biopunk, and plenty of lore only hinted at. I can't wait for the sequel

This is SO USEFUL. THANK YOU
Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees
Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:
Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.
Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.
Tumblr media
Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.
Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:
Tumblr media
Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.
Basic Features of the Site:
Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.
The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top
You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.
Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up
You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff
Tumblr media
You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.
Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.
Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:
Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog
Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.
If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.
You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"
Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.
Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.
We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.
Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.
General Etiquette:
Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.
Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.
Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it
You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.
Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.
Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit
You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.
Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.
Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.
If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal
Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.
Tips:
Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension
In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.
You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!
Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs
Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.
Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!
