why are you trans? wrong answers only! Wanted to trade a gander to a fae. They got confused and traded my gender instead. Still stuck with this darn goose.

Programming is so funny. Game I'm playing was crashing after new mod install. Find singular comment about some weird fix. On line 261 in some XML deep in the mods files is "Guinea Pig" and for some reason that's causing the crash. Remove it and the mod works great. Freaking guinea pig...

It should be illegal for vets to cost so much. $1,400 just to say they don't know what's causing our cats issues, and then they wanted another $2,000 to give him a treatment that may not even work. (We opted out of that, I'd rather give him the medicine myself and save $1,940)

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Reminder that now, as our voices are being silenced, it is more important than ever to read and share queer and especially trans stories. Here's a thread of trans authors, many of them indie, sharing their writings. Please consider supporting AND READING as many as you can.

From my current post-apoc WIP 'Mechanic of Ruin' CW: death, adult language

Loretta rolled her eyes. Men of the wilds were all the same. But Wilson’s antics also helped her. He grew bold and she could see from her view out the window which one was him by the crude gestures he was making and how he reached down his pants.

She clicked her tongue and lined up her shot, firing without hesitation. Three rounds hit Wilson centre mass and he dropped to the ground. Dead, with his dick in his hand.

This Elden Ring randomizer seed is a troll. I have been all over the base game, looted so many items, killed so many bosses. I was even working toward the DLC just to find a single great rune. Then I said to my wife "I bet I can get to 100 bosses killed before I find one." Boss #99 dropped one.

Melissa Lunn @mellunnwriting.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

The great thing about doing randomizer runs in Elden Ring is when it swaps bosses around it tries to change their name to match what is there and what used to be there. So when Commander O'Neil replaces Wormface we get this: I almost died to him because how do you fight while laughing at the name?

Cropped screenshot from Elden Ring of a boss healthbar with the name "O'Neilface."

We are 3 weeks away from the release of The Dahlia & the Wizard! Let's make sure we've got everything. *Sarcastic alien? Check! *Complicated polycule? Check! *Adorable West Highland terrier? Check! *Dorian's gun? Check! ...Wait, Dorian's WHAT??? Pre-order here: mybook.to/datw

In three weeks, bring home the latest adventure in the Orchid and the Lion series.

[Cover of The Dahlia & the Wizard]

Coming January 27th!

When his roommate, Peter, disappears without a trace and a coworker ends up murdered, Dorian Vidales embarks on a harrowing journey to find the man he’s coming to realize he loves and help the family he can finally admit he’d do anything for.

Can he find Peter?
And if he does, will anything ever be the same?

The Dahlia and the Wizard is an erotic treat, a dystopian mystery, and a moving story of romantic, platonic, familial, and self-love.

This offer is still available and will be until January 10th. Editing is what pays my bills, and I'm behind on rent, so it's important that I book people ASAP. You'll get an amazing edit at a great rate ($0.01/word), and I'll get to live somewhere, which I think is a beautiful exchange. LOL!

Hey #LateNightWrite I'm Melissa. I'm no good at talking about myself, but who is? I write, play games and collect cephalopod stuffies. My current WIP is a post-apoc adventure with a mechanic FMC (and her companion ferret name Sparkplug) who breaks a few people with a giant wrench.

Well it took me 110 hours, but I finally got 100% completion in Silksong. (The achievement at least, there's still other achievements I can chase if I feel like it)

This Silksong boss is making me take a break. Not because I'm mad. But because it's so high energy it's kinda overwhelming me. The dress, the music, the dance of a fight. It's awesome.

Melissa Lunn @mellunnwriting.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Omg double jump finally! Now Silksong opens up a lot more. Can't wait to talk openly about the game and not worry about spoilers. It's been such a great time so far. And no I don't think mentioning double jump is a spoiler, nearly every Metroidvania has one.

Oh no, it's HK's Delicate Flower but worse... Why Silksong? Why must you tempt me with this accomplishment?

There's a few more days to get in on this deal. If you're curious how this all works, here's some more info. At 1/2 off, you're paying $0.01/word, which is an absolute steal for an editor and formatter. If you book and pay the deposit before 9/1, I'll throw in the formatting for free (normally $50)!

Get an amazing edit at an amazing price!

50%

For a limited time, I'm offering half off edits. DM or email me for details!

What do I offer?

My services as an editor include line-editing, copy-editing, and some developmental editing, as well as beta-esque comments about your manuscript.

My biggest strengths are grammar, punctuation, repetitive/filter words, character/plot/setting inaccuracies, character voice/dialogue, and identifying patterns that authors fall into that can make their writing stilted, redundant, etc., but I provide a wide range of help for authors.

What are my qualifications?

In addition to my years of experience as a writer and editor, I also spent over a decade tutoring English and preparing students for the SAT/ACT, which required me to have an in depth knowledge of the intricacies of written English AND the ability to explain it to other people.

In the last few years, I have edited over 3 dozen manuscripts--from short stories and novellas to novels. I have several long-term clients who return to me for services again and again because they know that they're getting a quality edit at a price they can afford.

What are my rates?

My baseline rate is $0.02/word, which is below the industry standard. However, I know from my own experiences how hard it can be to afford an editor as a self-pubbed or indie author, so I also work with potential clients to figure out a fair rate for both of use. Before you decide that you can't afford to hire me, contact me, and we can discuss the particulars of your project.

#LateNightWrite Thanks for hosting as always Blackbird. My debut novel, The Crystal Rook, is available for purchase. It's book one of a series, though has nothing to do with my current WIP (stand alone idea, you know how it is. You get ideas you just have to write). Link is in my pinned post.

#LateNightWrite MC Loretta wishes a lot of things. The biggest thing is she's torn between regretting ever standing up to her father—which caused her to lose almost everything she'd grown up to enjoy—and at the same time wishing she'd done it sooner.

#LateNightWrite I wish I'd been told that it's always going to start out rough. Even downright awful in many cases. And that it's okay to suck at first. That the initial achievement isn't acclaim, it's seeing the task through until you are happy with it.

Hey #LateNightWrite. I'm Melissa. I do have a WIP though it's hard to call it in progress when it's been so long since I've worked on it. But I've been busy with other things and then there's ADHD to consider. The WIP is question is a post-apoc depressing but also (hopefully) cute and funny romp.

Being a queer creator these days is getting harder and harder. The Itchio BS means that I might lose a source of income, and I'm already struggling. If you or someone you know needs an editor, get in contact with me. And if you don't, repost and comment on this so it can get more traction.

If all goes well "The Crystal Rook" should be available soon. I know I don't post as often as I should if I want to promote a book I want people to buy. But in the end my anti-social nature wins. And honestly I'll try my best to be happy with just knowing it's out there.
