When you just wanted to wear a pirate outfit and write books about underdogs fighting fascism, but now you gotta fight it in real life too because people forgot who the bad guys are

So I just heard about Gamma Readers from watching a Brandon Sanderson video. I guess there is a precedent for that. I might do a similar thing with The Widow’s Monster, because I’m already identifying some major changes I’ll be implementing

PSA: the big spoon is not bigger than the other spoon when fitting two spoons together. I petition we change the language when spooning to “concave forward” and “convex transposed”. It would clear up this misnomer and remove potentially belittling terminology and power dynamics

Got really excited watching Octonauts, because I heard about coral slime and thought “that’s perfect for a dark oceanpunk fantasy book series food.” . . It’s not palatable 😑… . . Screw it. Someone’s eating coral slime in the 4th book

Goth/punk author @smcampbellwrites.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Ooo, good question! Is there major plot stuff changed? I sent a few specific scenes to the same readers after I changed them, or just told them what I’d changed to see what I thought. Did you get feedback from an editor after the changes?

I did it. I did the thing I never thought I’d do. I started an outline and plot work for a cozy, closed door, cosmic romance book 👀

Nice! I don’t really hear his name come up much when I hear dark or grim dark fantasy, but that’s good to know!. The size of his books is definitely intimidating 😂

Blue Sky reader peeps, I need you to convince me why I should read Brandon Sanderson. I have mad respect for him, and I find his writing speed inspirational, as well as his worldbuilding tips, but I’ve never had an interest in his worlds. I read more dark, weird fantasies, and romance.

All I’m saying is that if Danny Boyle could have been patient and waited 5 more years, 28 Years Later would have actually released 28 years after 28 Days Later. Missed opportunity.
