iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I don't usually make posts for my Substack articles, but I think I tackled some really important stuff in this one about refusing to sell AI books versus book banning. There are also some Juneteenth and Pride Month book recommendations in there, so I'd love if you checked it out. Link in bio.

Substack post advertisement with the following text:

Okay, let's talk about the B&N AI books situation

libbylineweaver.substack.com

Weaving Plotlines

And an image of the dedication of The Fifth Season that says:

For all those who have to fight for the respect that everyone else is given without question

Screenshot from Substack article saying:

The thing that really upset me, though, was the comment about banning books. You cannot compare not selling AI generated books, which are not made by humans and are made by stolen work, to banning books. There is a serious crisis in the US right now where books by marginalized groups are being systematically removed from places where kids and adults can easily access them for free. Plus, publishers are less likely to publish books that might put a target on their backs.

That is book banning. AI books do the opposite of what these banned books do. They flatten the human experience. They look at all the voices on the internet and average them into the one standard experience, with the loudest voices coming out on top. Saying that you will not sell AI books is not saying that you’re banning books. It’s saying that you are protecting authors, that you are protecting and celebrating the individuality that books uphold. That is the opposite of book banning.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

THE PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE x THE FAMILIAR x CRIER'S WAR Perenne's rigged elections and patriarchal religion have only led to hate. Solterna's oligarchy has only led to oppression. It's time for two lesbians from these enemy countries to get their hands dirty in geopolitics. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT

Agent's guide to CURSED BLESSINGS
99,000-word Adult Fantasy

Pitch: When a woman with a powerful Blessing of persuasion finds herself at the mercy of a corrupt politician, she finds connection in the most unexpected place: a vengeful woman from the enemy country. As they find themselves caught up in the schemings of those who'd use their gifts for evil, they are the only ones who can prevent a centuries-old tension from finally boiling over.

Tropes & Themes: sapphic fantasy, dual POV, gods-based magic system, enemies to lovers to "it's complicated," magical creatures, lots of cats

Excerpt:

Pulling her necklace from beneath her tunic, she brought the Shadow Dragon scale up to her lips and whispered the prayer to Solumbra in Solterna's original tongue, calling for her control over the shadows. Slowly, the shadowed forest wriggled to life. The near motionless shadows twitched, as though a sudden breeze had shaken the trees casting them.

Then they slithered.

The shadows ran over tree trunks and the forest floor alike. The intruders walked through the sunbeams that revealed the path and creek, making Aurelia's job all the easier as her called shadows skittered over to their prominent shadows trailing behind them, and Aurelia whispered a brief prayer of thanks to Solara for her bright sunbeams.

Then, with a clenching fist, Aurelia's shadows snaked around the intruders'.

A sapphic GOOD WILL HUNTING set in a prestigious magic convent. ✨ gatekept magic 🗡️ ritual sacrifice 🚫 forbidden romance 🪷 hallucinogenic lotus flowers 🌞 seasonal gravity #QueerPit #A #F #CLI

A collage on a stained glass cathedral background. Collage: a large monstera leaf, a group of people in purple and white robes with lace veils covering their faces, one holding a crucifix, a cactus with a pink flower, two nuns in black-and-white habits kissing, a close-up of red-liquid-covered fingers dipped into a silver cup.

A three-panel image with clips from three movies. The left panel is labeled "The Little Hours" and shows a nun (Aubrey Plaza) screaming at an employee (Dave Franco). The middle panel is labeled "Good Will Hunting" and shows Will (Matt Damon) solving a math problem on a chalkboard. The right panel is labeled "Wicked (if Galinda & Elphaba kissed)" and shows Galinda (Ariana Grande) embracing Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) while looking in a mirror.

A moodboard with nuns kissing, a leopard staring at the camera, a red ocean, a cactus with a flower, red fingers in a silver cup, foliage, purple-hooded people, and cathedral candles. Over the top, a white rectangle with the text: "A sapphic Good Will Hunting set in a prestigious magic convent.

Spinoza is the middle-aged High Vestra of the most renowned magic convent as far as the rainforest reaches. As High Vestra, she’s responsible for communing with the gods. Except, ever since a sacrifice gone wrong three years ago, she can’t hear the gods anymore. Fearing irrelevance, she fabricates messages they send her. When her patron loses faith in Spinoza’s competence, she’s forced to select and train a replacement. Determined to prove she’s irreplaceable, she devises a selection trial that should be impossible to pass.

Casuma is a young, rebellious maid at the renowned convent who resents her employers for deforesting her home and forcing their new religion on her family. To mess with the privileged acolytes, she completes a magical trial set out for them before any of them have even had the chance. But when her unprecedented success is discovered, she’s picked to be the High Vestra’s new apprentice. Though she loathes the High Vestra and everything she stands for, Casuma recognizes this as an opportunity to take down the religion from within.

While Spinoza trains Casuma, they each secretly plot to undermine the other. As they spend more time together, their secrets threaten to come to the surface: Spinoza’s lie that she communes with the gods, that, if discovered, would make her an outcast, and Casuma’s plot of rebellion that could result in her death, as well as her secret affair with Pironella, a devout acolyte, despite the convent’s strict rules against romance."

Pitch reads:
Deeply inspired by my experience of going blind, THE CITY OF DRAGON GLASS (98k) is a standalone adult fantasy featuring a disability-normative culture, a burned desert palace, and a morally-grey bisexual protagonist.

Nefeli's gift of sensing magical relics has made her a world-class thief, but tapping into her power comes with a cost: her vision. With every use of her magic, her degenerative eye disorder worsens. But when her sister's fragile health crumbles, Nefeli must choose: her sight or her sister's treatment. To earn the money needed, Nefeli agrees to a dangerous con posing as a noble at a political summit crawling with dragons and other powerful magic. She only has a fortnight to find a missing relic before the palace closes for another century. If she's going to succeed, she must rely on a former fling's help, despite the risk of him blowing her cover at any moment. And with her vision tunneling in, completing the job will force Nefeli to confront her biggest fear: without her sight, who is she?

Snippet reads: It would be a lie to say it was purely for that reason, though, that she memorized everything she saw. Every chance she got, she carved images into her mind—the way the port flags fluttered in the ocean breeze, the foamy white caps of waves, even the tiny footprints in the sand left by seabirds. She paid attention to the most mundane of images—the way someone's knuckles swelled from arthritis, the crescent curve of a smile, the way dirt looked when smudged across a forehead. Since she'd realized that one day her vision would go dark, she'd etched moments into her memory as deeply as she could, in hopes that they would never be stolen from her, even when she could no longer see.

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey.

Featuring:
Native Hawaiian Rep
Cultural Identity
Setting as a Character

The second slide showcases the pitch:

WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.

Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.

The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle.

The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.

The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads:

“Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

Onesta and Aurelia are certainly memorable employees... #UnhingedPit #A #F #LGBT #Q

Poster titled Employee of the Month for Onesta Segreti and says the following:

Statement:
Despite being a rather unwilling employee, Onesta's skills remain unmatched. Without even knowing her true mission, she succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. Sure, she may have some unfavorable qualities, but no one gets the job done quite like Onesta.

Fun Facts:
-Her Blessing is a bit stronger than it should be
-Cats follow her everywhere
-She recycles books for a living (when she's not working for us)
-She may have done some unfavorable things as a child

Contact:
Can be reached by carrier pigeon
For urgent messages:
Speak to the nearest suspicious-looking cat OR reach out to a Shadow Dragon

There's a photo of a woman with dark brown curly hair, and a blurry photo of two cats that says: Onesta's Coworker report if seen

Poster titled (worst) Employee of the Month for Aurelia Tenebrous and says the following:

Statement:
Aurelia never wanted to be Severus's heir to his Representative position, and certainly this Council now sees why. She has a very single track mind and only bothers to do tasks she finds important. This writer cannot believe she's Blessed by the serene God of Shadows.

Fun Facts:
-She loves her brother, that's for sure
-She has immaculate focus on her current goal (too much focus...)
-Fine, we will concede that her Blessing is quite strong

Contact:
Just don't

When a mistrustful maid at a blood magic convent accidentally harnesses the power the nuns have gatekept for centuries, the high priestess takes her under her wing. #WIPPIT #F #RF #A #LGBT

REYLO x A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC A dark wizard creates a device to travel between worlds, only to send it off in secret so his superiors won’t abuse it. Issue is, it lands in the hands of a bartender from the Ozarks who can’t control the power. 🚪Portals ❤️‍🔥Pining 🌘Cults 🍻Beer #WIPPIT #SFF #A #LGBT

A collage of images, which include a foggy city at night lit up with teal lights from below, an illuminated manuscript with two birds, a shot of Rey and Kylo Ren looking at each other shadowed in black and white, a genteel gloved hand holding another, a stone door in a desert opening up to the night sky, an old rusted bridge in the forest, someone pouring beer from a tap, a gold an teal mosaic tower, and an artist depiction of a monk conferring with St. George.

💖✨🏳️‍🌈🛸⓮🎓🧶🕳️ The tangled mysteries of Dark meet the emotional resonance of A Wrinkle in Time, with the speculative science of The Three-Body Problem and the heartfelt tethers of His Dark Materials. More below, also in the Alt text. Feedback appreciated, thanks! #wippit #SF #YA #LGBT #LF #FBW

Brilliance Overland is a prodigy who craves answers and adventure. Her invention— latticed entanglement aperture passthroughs (LEAP)—opens a quantum-based wormhole to a world more advanced, yet far more backward than she imagined. With her best friend Annie, Brilliance enrolls at Avram Circle, the premier science academy in a system of interlinked worlds, hoping to unravel their origins. But in a place where every relationship is entangled, every truth is knotted with lies, and every discovery leads to deeper complexity, Brilliance finds that her will and scientific principles alone can’t untangle the mess.

Brilliance relies on Annie’s empathy to navigate the social brambles rooted in this new world, but as Brilliance buries her own “unproductive” feelings, Annie’s patience frays. When their friendship is tested, Brilliance must confront the tethers that bind her: Unspoken grief for her mother, whose voice and lessons echo as AI in her mind; the causal chains that connect her actions to unintended consequences; and the realization that even in a universe of infinite possibility, some bonds—of love, loss, and home—are impossible to sever.

To survive forces that want to control them, Brilliance must learn that true understanding isn’t just about unraveling mysteries, but about embracing the beautiful, messy tangle of relationships and the tethers that hold us together—even across worlds.

Themes:
- Quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the complexity and messiness of relationships, regardless of time or distance.
- Tethering as both a source of strength (home, love, memory) and a challenge (grief, responsibility, causality)
- The interplay between scientific genius and emotional intelligence
- The search for origins—of worlds, of self, of the bonds that shape us
