I'm not letting AI horseshit maneuver me into a defensive position with my writing. I write like I write. I love emdashes. I keep using emdashes. Whatever we write, AI will take and copy it -- all you can do is keep writing the best shit you can write in the form you want it to take, and fuck it.

"The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to experience it—a view that devalues their fundamental rights." this is TERRIFYING.

PITCH: When a heist goes wrong, two rival members of opposing secret societies find themselves pursued by a malicious Jinn, an Unseen creature from the myths, hell-bent on retribution. With both the Seen and Unseen on their tail, and a history of hatred between them, the two must work together to stop the jinn from exacting a plan that would mean the eternal subjugation of both human jinn-kind alike.

A CONVERGENCE OF SOULS is a dual POV novel that centres on the deadly secrets of two members of rival secret societies.

EXCERPT: “Where is it?” Tabby asked, and Felix pulled the scarf fully from around his face. He was sweating. Gross.

“Not here,” he muttered. “There was a Scholar.”

“You lost it?” Tabby sounded disgusted. Her long black hair was gathered in a high ponytail, the sleek mane falling down her back as she leaned forward in her seat.

“There was a Scholar,” Felix repeated defensively. “She punched me in places that may never recover, Tabitha.”

PITCH: In a kingdom where necromancy is illegal, budding necromancer Sera fights her way to the top of the kingdom court. Discovery means death, but Sera has always wanted to make an impact and she won't let something like morals get in her way.

EXCERPT:
They would be, Sera thought, the blood thrumming in her ears. The dead here had been raised. En-masse, probably. She could only imagine the power that had taken. A whole village’s dead, raised in one night. She could see the figure now in her mind’s eye, a Harbinger cloaked in black under the light of a silvery full moon, the crimson wash of his Necromantic power seeping into the soil like blood and unleashing horrors, an army of the dead clawing their way out of their final resting places. She shivered.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.
