Bad unedited Self Published novels are an inevitability, what are the ones that could give #AgeOfScorpius a run for the money, but nobody on #BookTube is talking about?

Just When I Thought I Was Out, Milo Pulls Me Back In I’d ask what the fresh hell is all this but that’s an exercise in futility #milowinter #ageofscorpius Current website screenshot Someone brought this up to me, and I just wanted to address it quick like. And this essay isn’t for Milo — it’s for potential buyers of his work. Milo is selling hardbacks of the first edition of his book, The Age of Scorpius, on the official World of Gardian website.

This is like Watching Someone Walk into a Giant Rotary Saw — With Eyes Wide Open A follow-up on Milo Winter, Age of Scorpius, and ... why is this even happening #milowinter #ageofscorpius The cover of Alterlife, by Milo Prather and Sauli Rauhala I don't even know what's going on any more. Winter released a new poetry book a little less than a week after my last post to him (a post, btw, which was mirrored almost everywhere he's at right now like BlueSky and Tumblr so he can't have missed it because he lurks in his own tag).

Where is the Man? The Jacobins are Back — and They're Demanding Receipts #milowinter #ageofscorpius #internationallaw #schengen #thefinalcountdown Désolé, Angleterre -- you let yourself out. Author's Note: After that last post, Saint-Just demanded an encore. And he wasn't going to shut up about it until I gave the lectern back to him. As always, any resemblance to actual Dead Frenchmen is entirely intentional.

Milo Winter’s 2025 Federal Income Taxes are Non-Euclidean Nightmare Fuel When Your 1099-K Looks Like Charles II of Spain’s Family Tree #ageofscorpius #milowinter #asdtriggers I don’t even know what is happening here. I mean: Are there records of the refunds? Are the bookmarks tax deductible? If the dog travelled to Finland, were import fees filed? Import fees for renting a shipping container if the books were printed overseas? State taxes per book sold, customs documentation and fees for international shipments.

Forget Santa. Saint-Just knows when you’ve been naughty or nice, citoyens.

I’m preparing another Wordpress essay on #milowinter of the #AgeofScorpius #booktok … I don’t have the proper words.

My inner Jacobin slipped while writing it. I’m very sorry for using necromancy on Louis-Antoine de Saint-Just.

TBH, I still have empathy for Winter. Trust? That I do not have.

She managed to use the same half sentence within two pages?? #ageofscorpius

INTRODUCTION We blurred the line between humans and machines, and it burned Earth alive. It started with the angry oceans and burning forests, then came the earthquakes, eruptions, and extinctions. All we knew was lost in the destruction, but all we know was formed on the central continent. Humanity, we're known for surviving, and survive we did. Clusters of humans from all corners of the world prevailed through the disasters, and with the fall of each homeland, we sought anew The central continent welcomed us. We deemed it the guardian land for humanity: Gardian. In our darkest hours, the Cosmos remained unchanged. The Sun and Moon continued their chase through the sky and the Stars told us tales of those before us. When we couldn't understand our neighbor's language, we spoke the universal language of the starst We found ourselves intricately woven together by the fates

we couldn't see, like the invisible lines connecting the constellations. We paid our respects; we asked what they wished us to do, and they responded. "Do not create machines when the stars above have always been within." As we shared the stories of the stars, the Cosmos connected energy to magic and magic to body. It began with the three archpowers ofthe Sun, Moon, and Stars: Libran Healing (Libra), Spirit Walking (Cancer), and Zodiac Turning (Scorpio). The archpowers, attached to date of birth, were genetically transferred from one generation to the next, evolving into numerous magic systems throughout all 12 signs. Magic became rampant as society rebuilt and progressed alongside respect for the sacred lands and ecosystems of Gardian. We advanced through the sharing of skill and story from the stars. We divided to function as one society: CONVICTION for leadership, fire, and law (Scorpio, Aries, Libra), ASSIDUOUS for sustenance, knowledge, and protection (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), AUTARCHIC for water, healing,

and travel (Cancer, Pisces, Sagittarius), and SOCIETAL for light, magic, and art (Leo, Aquarius, Gemini). Welcome to the World of Gardian.

I didnt know writing can be uncanney valley, where you arent one hundred percent sure whats wrong with the sentence but it's just kinda wrong? #ageofscorpius

Oh, we're manipulating reviews for #AgeOfScorpius again? Who did the author pay to have all of these legitimate (goodreads even ADMITS it met guidelines) reviews removed? Sorry, the book is just BAD, removing my review saying as much doesn't make it any less literally unreadable.

Audrey Winters has become a bit of a hot topic lately, and well, I don’t agree with her choice to price her book at such a high cost, her writing does remind me a lot of myself when I was younger. #audrawinters #ageofscorpius #writeradvice #authorsjourney
