Do you dream of me?

[eden-3000]

"I write for my own enjoyment"

And

"I'm happy when people interact with my writing"

Are two sentences that can coexist!

[genesisarclite]

Are there any active Aeriseph Discord servers, and can I join one?

[the-bar-sinister]

"That villain doesn't feel love, because real love is selfless."

Fine, you know what emotions aren't selfless, and the villain can feel perfectly well?

Adoration, affection, admiration, lust, yearning, desire, devotion, obsession, possessiveness, fondness, tenderness, attachment, passion...

[concerningwolves]

you can take a quick pause from writing to fact-check something on the internet. but watch out

[doomsday-dj]

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

[kuttithevangu]

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

Freeman v. Deebs-Elkenaney | Loeb & Loeb LLP

Freeman v. Deebs-Elkenaney | Loeb & Loeb LLP

[kogiopsis]

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

[mychemical-boatdrinks]

"Hottie in black leather" - actual copyright court of law

[missdibley]

[modernsuperhero]

the rubber duck

[arsonistblue]

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.

[brunhiddensmusings]

“when i say it out loud i realize where the stupid was”

[elidyce]

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve gone to someone and told them ‘I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my story, please let me explain it to you’ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like ‘did you remember to feed them’ or ‘so is this all on the same day’ but other times I don’t even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.

It’s one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. You’re stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it.
