Hiya Hinky! Do you have any plans to continue your Hugo Martinez series?

This is a great question so thank you so much for asking it! Believe it or not, I was thinking about Colonel Martinez the other day and was re-reading some of things I wrote for him. I consider all my WIP open and having the possibility to continue and/or finish. And there are times when I go back and work on them when I'm stuck with other projects. So to answer your question, I do have plans to continue that series, I just don't know when it will happen. But knowing that someone wants me to continue it, that gives me some motivation to push it towards the front of the line of things to work on. Sincerely, thank you for your message and your interest in that story!

Forgot where I read it but someone on here said that John’s arm would be fucked up because he’s taking the brunt of whatever he’s doing with the shield with that arm constantly, so much so the serum doesn’t really heal it completely. And considering that’s also the arm Sam and Bucky broke in FATWS I’d imagine it isn’t even properly healed from that.

I’m gunna need that to be canonized in fanart asap

This is just to reiterate, his shield is not vibranium. It is just a metal disc that you can see him wind up his whole arm and shoulder to launch as hard as possible. When you see Sam or Steve throw the official shield it’s so much easier to flick out, not much power required. John’s launching what is essentially a manhole cover at people with super soldier strength.

“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…

[the-hinky-panda]

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

EXILED NOMAD SERIES

a series of encounters that could have happened between Civil War and Infinity War

Steve doesn't regret going against the The Sokovia Accords. He never would have signed them, he had to be there for Bucky, and together they had to stop Zemo. He doesn't regret anything, but he's not happy that he and some of his closest friends are on the run from 117 116 of the governments of the world. It eats at him. That festering wound leaves a Nomad who's not the Steve he used to be.

And it's this exiled Nomad Steve Rogers you cross paths with.

"I'm so alone! I don't have anyone anymore!" Thunderbolts* (2025)

[the-hinky-panda]

Did I just unsubscribe from a writer I've been following for years because they advocated for using AI? You fucking bet.

They suggest it's use as a tool, citing writers who hesitated to jump on the internet being left behind and I think that displays a rather big misunderstanding of the nature of problem.

Their point was gen AI can "help us think" but there's growing studies show us that it does anything but. Here's one paper on skill atrophy from AI use. There's more than a few of them plus some articles like this one from Forbes. Essentially using AI for a particular skill shows degradation in thelat skill.

Fact is brainstorming, research, analysis. Planning, outlining, writing, editing are ALL skills writers need to develop and practise. Not offload to a machine and surrender critical thought.

These skills are vital and transferrable to other aspects of our lives. My ability to critically examine a body of text to parse meaning works in enjoying fiction and digging through mixed messages in news and on social media. My ability to research and develop ideas from multiple sources also helps me fact check misinformation online.

These skills are so important, too important to cast aside for convenience.

I'd rather use my brain and do the work. Maybe ai will shift and better tools will arise, but I have put too much work into developing my skills to be content with the half assed result of the plagiarism machine.

Fuck that.

RL New Series Announcement!

I’ve teamed up with the wonderful @the-hinky-panda to create a series of short reads around fictional motorcycle club The Outlaw Royales.

There will be ten books in total, each based on a member of the club and their individual love stories.

These books contain strong heroines and dashing leading men who will capture your heart and you steal you away on the back of a motorcycle.

These are not dark romance books. There will be plenty of spice. Think filthy but fun.

The books contain themes such as displacement, mental health, grief, PTSD and addiction recovery. They will also explore the clubs legitimate enterprises and as well as the illegitimate activities.

Each one will be 10k+ hence why they are being labelled under short reads. They can be read as standalones or as part of the overall series.

I cannot wait to introduce you the men of The Outlaw Royales starting with King of Clubs which has been completed and is now up for preorder!
