toril @toril.bsky.social · 30/09/2026for a beautiful moment I thought it would be about the 1950 French ascent of Annapurna but I realize I may have to write that screenplay myself... I keep buying books written in French. I don't read French 050

Reposted by torilJCJB @phantanoir.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don't have faith readers will like AI slop graphic novels but I don't trust publishers to care. That said, They generated one out of context spread that looks semi passable. If they were really about it they'd post back to back pages but we already know what AI "consistency" looks like lmao 1132

toril @toril.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i tried to be optimistic and to keep an open mind. i wanted to put my best foot forward. the original contract was to publish my old webcomics as-is. i'd already done that via Kickstarter and it seemed like a short-term cash grab that would only be detrimental to my career, so i redid everything 170
toril @toril.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i already knew this about employment in general, but being Published is one of those milestones that, as an author, you're supposed to want. what if an obviously bad fit was "the best i could do" or as much as i deserved? what if it was my only chance? 1120
