So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

“Sure. Sure.

Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

Chiroptera Press, Ligotti's primary publisher these days, gave us all a gift for his birthday: the news that he's working on a new collection of stories, likely to be published next year, his first new book of fiction in over 10 years.

Facebook post from Chiroptera Press, who seem not to be on Bsky: "We’d like to wish a Happy Birthday to one of the greatest writers of horror fiction, Thomas Ligotti. For those who would be curious to know, Tom has been doing very well and over the past year has been putting his pen to work. Sometime next year we will see his first major collection since The Conspiracy Against the Human Race and we couldn’t be more excited about it. We can’t say much about the contents as of now, other than this will be his most personal work to date. Wishing peace and a relaxing day to a legend!"

If your publisher uses AI art, they're bad at their job. Full stop. When a publisher claims they can't afford to invest in your cover art, what they're really saying is that they can't sell your book. /THREAD O'CLOCK

It seems @draft2digital.bsky.social have at the very least added some guidance for accounts with no actual published titles - contributors receiving shared royalties should be ok! That said - this is still a crappy policy on their part. Indie publishers are continuing to be taken advantage of!

Today I received my first royalty note. I'm one of several authors in an anthology, and my royalty is 14¢. Will I have to pay $12 to get it? What are they doing with tiny royalties like mine? Just keeping them? They are stealing from independent authors. Literally nickle-and-diming us to death.

@draft2digital.bsky.social used to be THE place for indie authors working on shared revenue projects like anthologies. This new change entirely breaks that model, and makes it basically untenable.

This!!! Did they even consider how this is going to affect shared revenue projects? The sudden fee makes no sense at all and reeks of either a company going crazy with perceived monopoly - or desperately trying to stay afloat.

@draft2digital.bsky.social has made the inane decision to charge a yearly fee to anyone that make less than $100 per year, indicating that such accounts may be AI slop. This punishes indie publishers in particular, but it especially punishes members of a shared revenue project. (1/5)

Reminder that if you can't afford an artist, you can create the cover yourself. @carsonwinter.bsky.social painted his own cover. Not only was it free, but it's also completely unique and representative of him as an artist and author. No AI, no stealing, no excuses, no slop. It's that easy.
