STILL TIME! 🏔️👑🐉

An alt world political fantasy for that day and age was BOLD

YES.

Does anyone remember Kings with Sebastian Stan? I loved that show (even have the DVDs). But also Space: Above and Beyond. And I’ll keep saying: y’all all slept on Animal Kingdom.

Oh looky, 3 of mine. 🥰🏔️👑🐉 If you like intelligent but still animalistic dragons, a frontier milieu, a queer love story, and a dash of Revenge Plot, you might like my novella trilogy The Crowns of Ishia.

One of the things I'll be asking potential new agents (as and when I'm fortunate enough to get to that point) is "Are you willing to fight to ensure that anti-AI clauses make it into all my contracts?"

And if I don't like the answer, I'll stay in the gd trenches.

I have now created a template letter you can send to your MPP if you're in Ontario or to your MP anywhere in Canada; while this is primarily a provincial issue, it could also have major repercussions nationally & that must be considered

Since I can’t physically scream every day because of the state of the world I will live vicariously through artists who do. (This is an amazing performance).

I love the Hunger Games franchise but why they no cast Kiefer as Corialanus Snow for Sunrise on the Reaping?!

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

I’ve said this before: if someone wants to bypass the PROCESS part of making art, you’re a hack, not a true creative. Just be honest, label yourself a hack, and get out of the playground that the rest of us enjoy.

yeah everyone i know who is forced to use ai at work from editing to tech to finance are literally doing twice the work bc the ai gets shit wrong. but i guess if you dont care to do GOOD work it’s an option

Author Steven Vickers wrote on Threads, "To confirm, this '100% AI generated' passage is the opening of Chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I think authors are going to get screwed in these AI witch hunts."

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

Genre Grapevine on AI Providing Ever-Faster Ways for the Rich and Powerful to Do What They Want | Jason Sanford's Genre Grapevine Get more from Jason Sanford's Genre Grapevine on Patreon

My new Genre Grapevine focuses on both the escalating hype around generative AI along with its use in the war in Iran. Sadly, what all this comes down to is how AI is being used to provide ever-faster ways for the rich, powerful and corrupt to do whatever they want. www.patreon.com/posts/153096...

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

There IS a print edition on the way, so it'll be available more widely than at Amazon, and I'm sorry it's Kindle only. The problem is that 98% of the readers are at Amazon, and so that's were all the money is.

I'll be pursuing an audio book ASAP as well.

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE, MY FRIENDS!

LOOK AT THIS COVER. Look at this cool concept for a story! Congrats on release day! ❄️🌹
