Anachronism and Accuracy: getting it right in historical novels I’ve been editing, reading and writing a lot of historical fiction recently, and I have anachronism and accuracy on my mind. Now, of course any historical fiction will be anachronistic by its natur…

The Historical Romance author KJ Charles has some good blog posts on this topic: kjcharleswriter.wordpress.com/2014/04/05/a...

I don't think you're being a buzzkill! When its done well, I don't notice it because the author has done the worldbuilding and character work so that any ahistoric beliefs make sense.

Sure!

I didnt comment on this earlier because so far April has been...a month.., but I'd love to read this fic (or fic ideas) at any point in the process! I think eruri works so well in spy stories. The second you said Notorious, I was recasting it in my head.

Happy Witch Hat Atelier Day 🌟

sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

Have you watched Run with the Wind? It's a one season Anime, very cozy, but with a storyline that gets you hooked. I'm not a big sports Anime person, but its a comfort watch for me.

It pairs well with a sweet dill mustard on a cracker or slice of toasted baguette (search for gravlax sauce recipes, or if you're in the US, Trader Joe's sells jars of it). My favorite bagel shop does a sesame bagel with salmon, cucumbers, pickled ginger, and scallion cream cheese.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

That's when I started Nutcracker Prince as well as another long fic still in my drafts 😭 At least you're putting it out in the world, who cares when you started!

inspired by your focus, as always 🫡

happy birthday!

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

every time non fandom people recommend a book by saying it’s “REALLY SPICY” it ends up being a heterosexual couple having the worst sex you could think of

Wishing every JP artist a very "join bsky so I can see your art again"

especially since animals are cute all on their own. just put a camera in front of a kitten and wait, why use ai and deprive yourself of time with an actual kitten?

The northern European approach to mexican food - earnest intentions, but so confused. I once ordered nachos in Germany and was given doritos with ketchup.

everyone drinking out of mason jars, how ever did we keep them separate from the artisanal pickles?

screengrab of a portion of new yorker interview with former simpson's writer john swartzwelder: Mike Sacks: How much time and attention did you spend on these scripts? Another “Simpsons” writer once compared your scripts to finely tuned machines—if the wrong person mucked with them, the whole thing could blow up. Swartzwelder: All of my time and all of my attention. It’s the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
