Hey Mainers! Early voting has started. If you can, try to get in person and vote early! We have same day registration too, so no time is too late. It's also important to vote early so folks know where they need to chase the most ballots.

I knew some folks would hate the ending to the newest resident evil movie... to them I ask you to please go rewatch it. The ending is VERY consistent with Bryan's pattern of choices. I will give the critics a point that the last half of the movie wasn't as good as the first half. Still great.

And if this weren't a nano project... I'd have realized this and had it in the first draft... >.> Ah, back before my stronger outlining days.

So now I get to write a silly little freak out scene as he goes through the motions hoping he isn't accidentally taking the wrong dog home.

Like here I am, having James arrive to rescue one of the young Werewolves he met from the pound... and I am just now realizing... he never saw the boy as a werewolf or as a wolf... he has no idea what he looks like, and sucks at the types of magic that might allow him to confirm if it is him.

Haha... reworking nanowrimo project is... a special kind of hell? I'm realizing in the quest for more words quicker, I absolutely had some half baked ideas... good news, the solutions are easy... and honestly kinda fun... but wow theres a lot to correct.

Overall, very glad I went to go see it. I'd give it a 9/10 Obviously I had to leave out what themes are still sitting with me the next morning, but I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of depth.

8. Thinking on it, those that are complaining about the humor might be complaining about how goofy some things may have been, but honestly, it fit the themes they were playing with so well. I feel a lot of folks want to believe they would be the Leon Kennedy's of this... when they are in fact, not.

The second purpose was to comment on the character of our protagonist, which circles back to the surprising depth of themes. 7. If I had to call it any sort of a sub-genre beyond survival horror... its coming of age survival horror. Which is a weird sentence, but I dug it.

Andrew Cain @acain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
6. It did have humor sprinkled in, but if you removed that it would have caused pacing problems. As the humor often served two functions... the first would be to lower the tone for a second. As awesome as you think an hour and a half of straight scares and twisted visions is... its not.

Andrew Cain @acain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
It is no coincidence that the opening, and the "final hurdle" are connected, and that was brilliant. 5. I thought it was well paced, and for those complaining about the tone... I'm a little bit lost to be honest. Some people were billing it as a horror comedy... it was not even close to that.

Thoughts about Resident Evil, with as little spoilers as possible. 1. Visuals were amazing throughout. 2. They did an excellent job threading the needle on our protagonist's portrayal. 3. Bonus points for showing him moving through different stages of grief. 4. The surprising depth of theme

I'd been watching skits from a creator for the last year. Today they plugged for an AI assistant. Welp,that's a block.

Fire Emblem has consumed my week. Did take a break to catch resident evil. I'd give it a 9.

Andrew Cain @acain.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
I will avoid spoilers, but I am enjoying it. Missing the early 2000 fire emblems, but enjoying how they are making tweaks to the franchise.

Andrew Cain @acain.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
That feels like it might be the most narratively satisfying.

Initial fortune weave thoughts. Huh, so the strange techno fuedelism is here to stay. Hope we get more concrete answers to what that's all about. 2. I started with cai. And the shounen protagonist vibes are off the chart.

I started with cai. I have many thoughts as well

Still haven't sold a commission in a month and a half and need to get cash together to finish paying off my car insurance and get my pets shots & meds, not to mention pay my phone bill & buy groceries! Please buy something so I can continue to live. Thanks! I'm logging off to avoid a panic attack

I'd love to hear about every aspect of this journey. Later of course! I imagine there is so much follow up to be done. And I'm glad folks showed up.

WE ARE BACK AT 100 BACKERS!!!!!! Tbh, I'd love to get a few over that count because hitting it, then dropping below for two days, then going back over was anxiety inducing. So. Please back my book? I would love to send you things. gorlskiss.com

Oh shit! It's #SapphicSeptember. It's me, Morgan, sapphic sci-fi author. I have a book, Project Tasman, which is a sapphic dystopian thriller. We're fully funded, but through September 4th, you can still pick up the book, get bonus stretch goal stuff, and help support sapphic indie authors!

Good evening folks. Project Tasman is still looking for backer number 100! Could it be you? Only you and your potentially disposable income spent on sapphic books can say for sure.

Book four of my urban fantasy was written like... 8 years ago as part of a Nano project.... the dialog is weak by my current standards, and this edit is taking FAR longer to move through than I expected. No bueno.

Agreed. The position of "Reform" is such stale bread. Dissolve them and criminally indict them.

Good morning everyone. We are ONE (1) backer from 100 on Project Tasman with five days left. I'll make a deal with you. Once we get to 100 backers, for every new marketing post I write, I will make a new MS Paint and/or shitty Canva graphic about the book for new posts. Deal? gorlskiss.com

Ai Bros: "It can make so many ideas." Me: *With so many ideas that even if I quit my day job and wrote full time, I'd have at least 3 years worth of content lined up without needing to workshop a single new idea...* "Yeah, that's not problem real creatives need help with."

It's #ManualMeme time. I've been saving this for a bit. But it's finally time to get the trope map out. 14 days left to back Project Tasman. Go do so. Please :) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
A white paper behind a copy of Project Tasman. Various sets of words with arrows pointing to the book are around it. From top left going clockwise they read: "Oh no. She's hot x2!", "Worst AirBNB ever.", "The floor is warm!", "Hey kids! You like violins?", "How to let your ex get kicked in the ding-ding.", "Ace, poly, bi, trans, and lesbian rep", and "How to solve a waffle shortage"
