I don't get a lot of comissions, so being asked to do one of the leads of my comic Smiles is fun.

Horror and romance are soulmates, both enamored of carnality and often maligned for it. I love both, so I write both. Dark short fiction as Maura Yzmore: www.amazon.com/Dangling-Mau... Spicy romance as Fiona Embers: books2read.com/fionaembers #booksky #romancelandia 📚💙

Covers of Dangling by Maura Yzmore and Close to the Chest by Fiona Embers against a black and pink background. Text says, "Would you rather be terrified... Or thirsty? I can't choose either. So I write both."

Here I am suggesting edits to 30+ year old films. Why, in Terminator 2 when Arnie pulls a gun on the guys that came to help John, isn't there a reaction shot of John's face mid-gun pull and load? Just a brief shot of his smirk vanishing to show him realizing the Terminator is not a toy.

Saw an AI generated image at the store for a Halloween thing. The usual "just hire an artist arguments" aside, why are they always packed to the brim on the canvas? No negative space. No breathing room. 90s Image comics artists showed more restraint.

the reason why necromancy is bad is because youre creating a mimicry of life through puppeting the image of a dead person. CGI or AI replicas of dead people are doing exactly the same thing as necromancy, just less smelly. in this essay
