FCC to restore #NetNeutrality and also, hey, to protect our online activity from scrapping--be it for #ArtificialIntelligence training without our consent, or for even more nefarious purposes.

When the public comment period opens, for your own interest, comment--the vultures will, by the thousands, using bots/AI, so we need to show up and make sure our voices are heard, and our interests protected.

@herhandsmyhands @romancelandia anyone who uses LLMs as any part of their writing or publishing process instantly loses all respect from me. That's it. They're dead to me.

can anyone recommend me some queer werewolf / monster romances that DON'T involve mpreg?

@bookstodon

@sunflower @bookstodon Not sure if these are quite what you want, but maybe?

On the monster front, I have a cecaelia/human m/m bittersweet erotic short? It's an alternative ending to Goncharov (the non-existent Mafia movie) if the homoerotic undertones were dialed right up, and also Goncharov was a cecaelia 🤷‍♀️ https://medium.com/@QueenRubyJones/goncharov-1973-sleep-with-the-fishes-820124ecda2c

This A/B/O erotic romance isn't werewolf, but to the left of werewolf...? 'Fuck the Monarchy' is a 3 part erotic romance short story https://medium.com/@QueenRubyJones/fuck-the-monarchy-876af242311f

Anyone else doing this year?

@AimeeMaroux @smutstodon I've heard of it, but don't really know what it is. I'm intrigued, but suspect I won't have the energy.

@RubyJones@smutlandia.com avatar

@AimeeMaroux @smutstodon Ah, OK, I thought maybe there was a set prompt list or something. Those are useful because then I can join in on my good days and pass on my bad ones.

I wish I could join in, but it probably wouldn't be wise at the moment.

@AimeeMaroux @smutstodon Thanks for explaining, though!

@AimeeMaroux @smutstodon ahhh - cool! Thank you!

Sept 17: How do you promote your writing?

Instead of answering, I went through all the responses thus far and made a spreadsheet of the answers. (This is absolutely non-scientific and possibly inaccurate, plus there's no data as to how well these strategies worked, but hey, I was curious and thought maybe others might be interested too.)

I also have a list of "Other" answers that didn't fit neatly in these boxes or struck me in some way-- I'll link those next.

@skaeth TBF, I was being brief to fit the space. I have also used sales, Instagram, and reviewers, although I've found direct engagement via social media/word of mouth the most productive. I would go to conventions in COVID-safe times, but there haven't been any since I started selling under this name. I dunno if any of that affects your stats! 😄

Re Drew Barrymore crossing the picket line:

Remember that once non-WGA writers cross the picket line, they won't be able to join the union later, should they want or need to. It's worth reminding them of this.

@herhandsmyhands @romancelandia so disappointed to hear about her doing this, having respected her so long!

Too good not to share: I just came across this photo of a wooden floor of a neolithic house. Unearthed in Alleshausen-Grundwiesen, a wetland settlement at the western rim of the Federsee marshlands, 3020-2700BC

@ninawillburger Wow.

I love traces of humanity from thousands of years ago that remind me: they're just like us, they're just like us.

@ubiquisquish @romancelandia @smutstodon 💜💜💜 Awwwww - you give me such warm feelings!! Thank yoy so much!

I know some of the answers, but not all. I am starting to explore the next adventure, which will have a little less sex and more in the way of world-building. Alas, the people to blame are (so far as I am currently aware) long dead... but they might have some more unfortunate artefacts left behind that our hapless heroes might trigger...

Rubbish news, everyone!

After 2 years on sale with no objections, Oviposition has been removed from Amazon. They say is violates their ToS, but I can't see any way that's true.

They allow erotica and it's all my own work.

I've responded to ask what they think it violated, but don't know if that will make any difference.

I'm not sure there's much you folks can do to help me, but maybe consider buying one of my other books?

RubyJones,
@RubyJones@smutlandia.com avatar

@AimeeMaroux I just find most people I sell to strongly prefer Amazon, even when I offer options. Whereas I've only had one person say they would only buy if it wasn't on Amazon.

Maybe it's easier to just pull out of Amazon if you're more established, but for me it's absolutely clear that I would lose the vast majority of my sales.

@RubyJones@smutlandia.com avatar

@AimeeMaroux @LaurenLeFey That's reassuring to know! I might explore that as a tip jar.

@zicon @AimeeMaroux @LaurenLeFey on buy me a coffee? I wasn't planning to post on it directly.
