haveaterrabletime said: :( *hug* sleep dep is Not Fun
yeah
well i mean. i’m fine today, because i got to sleep all i wanted, but tomorrow …
tomorrow morning, specifically
is gonna suuuuuck
do you ever sit at your desk with a blanket over your head because it’s half past three and you have to get up at eight tomorrow but you don’t do well without any less than like ten hours of sleep and you really want to sleep but you’re sort of putting it off because the sooner you go to bed the sooner you have to wake up
yyyep
i mean i’m sure some people will be happy about it, i guess? and good for them, but
it is a completely shitty deal
:/
and. kind of really unprofessional? i mean the general rule of conduct in the writing world, at least, so far as i know, is not to read fanfic about your stories or ‘verse because then if you employ a similar element in a later story you’re at the mildly ridiculous risk of being accused of plagiarism.
with this amazon is like … perfectly openly stating that they might rob your work of whatever they find useful, and give you no compensation or acknowledgment; it’s, i mean, it’s openly exploitative and if anyone calls them out on it they can just be like ‘oh ha ha it’s just fanfiction people should be glad to even be paid for it’
creators and distributors often don’t quite know what to think about fanfic or how to handle it, but this is just, really not the right way
it’s not professional and it’s not even slightly respectful
and i am really annoyed
really mad about this kindle worlds thing
I obnoxiously racebended les amis so I could think about a Tianenmen Square 1989 AU and cry for a decade
(i have not read the Brick yet so all my knowledge of most of these characters come from fanfic and fan synopses, please forgive! feuilly and bahorel in particular do not have very notable presences in the fanfic i’ve read, so i just tried my best. also i know it’s really weird to label chinese kids w/ french surnames but i’m really bad at chinese names OTL but i couldn’t leave them unlabled because…im really bad at character design…I’M GOMEN)

"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art."

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

And I’m sticking it up here for people who define the “good” in Make good art in ways that I definitely didn’t intend…

Cover reveal for Ascension. It’s gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with it. I hope you love it too!
Art by Scott Grimando, cover design by Sherin Nicole.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I had to reblog and add the cover copy, because OMG:
Alana Quick is the best damned sky surgeon in Heliodor City, but repairing starship engines barely pays the bills. When the desperate crew of a cargo vessel stops by her shipyard looking for her spiritually-advanced sister Nova, Alana stows away. Maybe her boldness will land her a long-term gig on the crew. But the Tangled Axon proves to be more than star-watching and plasma coils. The chief engineer thinks he’s a wolf. The pilot fades in and out of existence. The captain is all blond hair, boots, and ego… and Alana can’t keep her eyes off her. But there’s little time for romance: Nova’s in danger and someone will do anything - even destroying planets - to get their hands on her!
My prayers have been answered: Space opera with queer women of color!!
