Missing Black Sails? Dealing with brain rot? Need some fanfic therapy? I gotchu! Every month, I fully narrate a story and then chat with the author about their story, their process, and the show. Listen while you work! open.spotify.com/show/5aEcqN…

This is the most bonkers take I’ve ever read. King movie adaptations, with very few exceptions, suck massively for the exact reason you think the books do. The films usually only adapt the horror elements, which, without the novels’ remarkable interiority, seem ridiculous. 1/3
Replying to @creepydotorg
Fuck him and his boring ass books. The stories are great when they are made into movies because they cut out all the terrible writing.

What makes Stephen King’s books truly sing is the depth of humanity, the exploration of the unremarkable Everyman, and his uncanny horror of the mundane. The most terrifying parts of It, for example, are the explorations of Derry’s history. 2/3

Some of the most beautiful sections of prose are the characters interiority and, in particular, Stan’s description of madness… 3/3

see how ellipsus produces a timely feature that addresses current discourse without having to get involved in petty argumentations? they dont have to put ao3 down to give certain fans what they want. they dont have to come up w legally impossible demands. very demure, v mindful!
Nothing beats writing… except being read! (… and kudos) With AO3 temporarily out of commission, we’ve been seeing a whole lot of y’all (hundreds of thousands 🤯) sharing stories through Ellipsus Reader links! So if you’re just discovering the Reader, here’s a handy tutorial that covers everything the Reader can do for you. The Ellipsus Reader is a safe and easy way to share your work online, built with click-to-publish convenience and author controls in mind.

So my huge Rent fan and all around massively talented kid, is FINALLY getting to see @albinokid and Adam Pascal in concert, tonight! 20 years ago, Anthony signed my copy of his book. My son just finished reading it and I’m hoping he can get it re-signed.🤗

In the spirit of me doing literally everything but writing chapter 6, I’ve finally got all of the first 5 chapters of my Black Sails fic, Pipe Dreams, compiled into one Ellipsus reader link and it looks GLORIOUS and you can leave comments, etc! ellipsus.com/read/25k6dUVSjf…

if ao3 means so much to you and is such a big part of your daily life that you feel the weight of its absence now, let it also be a reminder about the importance of leaving kudos and comments even if its just a simple "i loved this!" to show writers you care about their hard work

Leaning into the individual “wonkiness” of your writing is the answer to the problem of genAI. Authenticity is what makes writing human (not syntax or sentence structure!) Writing fearlessly is our best defence against AI.

After two years, I’ve finally figured out how to add images to my fic! I’m old, okay? Thank you to @Tiofrean and @keivnii for your stunning REAL art pieces! archiveofourown.org/works/58…

As kindly as possible, I’m asking you to shut the fuck up and allow the people writing for free to use italics whenever they want. The back button is also free.
I am advising fic writers as kindly as possible to step away from the italics

Captain Flint and Miranda Barlow in Black Sails.
What’s a sex scene that was genuinely essential to the story, revealing something about the characters or changing the course of the plot, rather than just being there for the sake of it?
