hanging out with Pesto (my jellycat penguin) while my partner is at a cool bar opening ;_; yay for disability

Decided to do the "elf" method of writing on my next manuscript. Hire an imaginary elf and smash out a version in 10 days, then come back and fix it later. What could go wrong XD

I’m definitely going to watch that Ray Gunn movie, but I can’t help but be frustrated on behalf of @lilprincesays.com who wrote the rather excellent Ray Gunn and Starburst sci fi sitcom that came out as a podcast a whole decade ago. I’ve no idea how they feel about it, but I’m a bit miffed.

That feeling when you're reading a new book and the story starts to feel bigger than the amount of pages in front of you...yeah it's a trilogy. Fuck.

Anyone else just want to give up and go and be in a hole for a while? Many of us? Oh yeah, that seems normal. We can all be in the hole together.

Tried to have a nuanced conversation about trigger warnings. Not sure if we managed it. Vivian had some very interesting data though, and I wondered if we should do more forwards and afterwards in books. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv2h...

Playing Sovereign Tower, and I had forgotten how much I love a visual novel. It's so fun and I am going to play it a 100 times to make sure I romance EVERYONE.

If we sold just 12 more prints, we’ll be able to have donated over £1,000 to The Sameer Project in Gaza. They’re currently in desperate need of support and have had to pause their food donations due to lack of funds. 100% of the £15 price is donated: polari.press/throw-sand/

A poster on a pale pink background reads “Throw sand in the gears of genocide” in a custom uppercase font. In the background are some Palestinian poppies in red.

I was so pleased to be allowed to create this #ttrpg for the zine. It's not your normal fandom contribution I guess, but it's what I do, so being able to build a simple, d6 system with an easy play adventure for newcomers and old hands who just want a bit of fun for a fandom I love was brilliant.

I wrote a piece on Medieval Revival for Simply Sewing and I can't lie, I love having my name next to a massive picture of Chappel Roan dressed in armour. Like who wouldn't? Plus I got to yap about William Morris and the history of #MedievalRevival for four pages so, that's pretty fun. #medievalism

#ttrpg creators, I'm thinking of writing my first original game and wondering how folks approach getting things out there. What are the options with kickstarter, publishers etc. I have some ideas but more info is always better and I'd love to hear what works and what maybe doesn't?

We're finally dedicating a full episode to the Rian Johnson film franchise, Knives Out. Though don't know if that series title will stick, as he's said he doesn't like it. So maybe its best to say we're focusing on Benoit Blanc. #podcast #fandom #popculture #analysis youtu.be/DyxGb9xw5Ro?...

Can't say I've been in a fandom with this much passion for a while. Meeting up with folk from all over the world who love this game, whilst rediscovering a long buried special interest from my childhood in the form of Medievalism, has been truly lovely. Plus we get to annoy these two, poor men so...

Mental struggling a bit with querying. I don't know how to keep myself on the positive side of things when it's feeling like rejections & silence. How have other writers querying fiction for the first time dealt with this? Non-Fiction was a whole different thing, but I've done side a lot more.

I was out with the Green Party yesterday and it was a joyful, hopeful day both with the team and with all the people we spoke to. Today is a struggle, mostly due to realising how few people actually went to the polls. Sigh. I'm not sure how to help this.
