#WritingPride day 10: Free space — write anything you'd like us to know about your queer character(s)!

A few of them are polyamorous, in addition to being queer.

#WritersCoffeeClub June 10: What is the greatest pleasure of your writerly life?

Honestly, it’s being able to see the ideas and daydreams of mine compiled into a cohesive book.

The Park Service has opened a 10-day public comment period on Donnie's fucking arch. Per the WaPo, they did not announce it via their usual communications channels ... and we're already 1/2 through the public comment period.

Send your feedback to them!

I think sometimes that Book-1 was for me. It was my first impression, and was me proving to myself that I could do it.

I’m presently working on Book-7 before the targeted edit on Book-5.

Book-7 is the one that’s most for readers. That’s why I’m working harder on it than any of the others. That thought is always in the back of my mind. It’s the parting gift, the thank you.

Be everwell.

#ScribesAndMakers Jun 10 (Excluding time travel) Do you have a preference between books that progress linearly and books that jump back and forth in time (flashbacks etc)?

If the flashbacks are done clearly, so I can follow what's going on, I have no preference.

A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This is an important step to bring "AI" slop in line with all other products on the market: "AI" products are basically the only ones where a provider can just deliver unchecked garbage and put all the liability on the consumer. I hope to see aggressive change here.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

Chapter 47 of She Consumes Poison is available to read on #RoyalRoad: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/153820/scarlet-eye

With the blood of Pride etching a message into the roof in the oldest dialect of demon language, Artemis brings Masher closer, for a translation.

What he reads leaves him beyond terrified and he scrambles as fast as possible toward the hat atop her head, attempting to enter it!

Recollections and reflections are circulating after Anthony Head's untimely death.

I remember him pushing back hard at 'I didn't see it, so who knows?' responses from some, when J Whedon's bad character was exposed. Tony Head was clear that abusers work hard to hide what they do from those who would call them out.

He also had no time for 'why didn't younger cast members speak up?' He said them not feeling able to tell him was his responsibility and he was sorry for it. A good man.
