huh

the print shop fucked up and instead of printing me a bunch more "i lived bitch" prints on 8.5x11 and a bunch of "FUCK YOU BALTIMORE" on the 11x17 it printed me the big prints properly but then ALSO printed a bunch of "FUCK YOU BALTIMORE" prints on 8.5x11 in lieu of my "i lived bitch"

I'll update the listing tomorrow but I guess for a little while, there'll be a smaller, cheaper version of the fuck you baltimore prints??

Weird tumblr phenomenon: someone follows you and is in your notes constantly. Interacts with everything. Sends you asks. And then blocks you.

I'm obviously extremely excited for Veilguard, but also, I really like my own vision of Arlathan and young, brash Solas gambling and bare-knuckle boxing and smoking elfroot with Ghilan'nain in floating castles over the polluted city. Arlathan was one of the funnest things I've ever written and I will not be forgetting it lol

One of the best (and only) pieces of advice given to me by another writer about the book promo that we all have to do (an unfortunate necessity) was: put the buy links in your promotional posts.

This seems obvious but a lot of authors (including me, still, to this day) forget to do this, or don't want to seem pushy, or assume that anyone interested can look up the title/author and find it to buy it.

But what this author told me, and which I know is true because I have done it myself, is that a lot of people will see your promo posts and they will be interested--but life is chaotic and the internet is full of distractions and they can forget. Easily. They can open it up in a new tab that is one of a million open tabs they have. They do like I do and bookmark it to look at later--forgetting the absolute mess of a bookmark collection they already have. (No joke, my bookmarks are Bertie's library before Arthur). They can even go to the booksellers' websites and get distracted there--because those websites are designed to sell sell sell! and that doesn't mean your book, it means anything.

So you make it as easy as possible for readers to go look at your work and maybe buy some of it, and you include links to help them.

Which is an attitude that helped me (somewhat) with the "this feels pushy" impulse. You aren't forcing them to do anything, but the link will help them if they are interested.

Anyway. Honestly, as I said, most of the other DSP authors didn't give a shit about me and then apparently didn't like me, so the advice I've gotten from other authors is mostly outside of the m/m romance author world. But this advice is good and so I like to pass it on. :)

Horror finding out a human is blind and echolocates via shirll squeeks and then finds him and asks "do you need a bandage..?" When approaching him.

I use the nickname Axe :3

Axe would most likely be confused on why they ask if he needed a bandage and growls at them for getting too close. He still wasn't the best at dealing with brand new people, it wasn't his fault! A lot of stuff happened in his past. "No, why?" The squeals catch his attention.

As their friendship grows, and he learns that they're blind, he shares his story a little, explaining the fact that he had bad memory, and issues remembering things. They can both be 'broken' together.

Daren in early 2000s fashion

the hair is more modern rather than early 2000s, but hes definitely serving those baggy pants/crop top combo.
