Dammit, now I want to run VtM.

Maybe we need a writing advice thread. I'm a bit out of the loop on screenwriting since one the books started to sell I never had time to go back but I was on film sets every week basically from 25-35. My only caveat to Sanderson's writing advice it to always remember the STAGGERING privilege...

Not so much a wishlist but I finally got around to watching GOTG3 and all it really did for me is make me wish they'd re-do that old comics-accurate Guardians five-pack with modern articulation. In literally every way I like the comic designs of all these characters more than the movie ones and...

Oh man I have a whole TED Talk I could give ya.

Grammarly was legit safe to use for authors til only like six months ago, too, maybe less. I think that's what annoys me - it getting forced in. Like, make it optional, see who pays for it, stop cramming it into everything, especially since usually it breaks a perfectly good product.

This is what happens when Classified thread regulars invade another thread. We break everything.

It sucks that Grammarly got in bed with AI earlier this year - they were a fine program but if they're feeding your work into someone else's algo you're almost better off just using the native spell check on whatever program you're using.

I think that's why I like it. The church has always been good at making monsters. Modern society loves nothing more than a redeemable monster. Those stories can be fun but I kinda wonder if we're in some kind of cultural psychosis about it. I mean I get sexy vampires, but I also didn't need to...

(Can you tell I like to write horror? :) )

I'm waiting for a book-accurate version where Harker goes apeshit over discovering paprika, honestly.

He wrote three books on his own. Now he has a robot do it for him, I guess. He says "to check for inconsistencies and offer advice" but man, the last thing I want is a fucking robot telling me what's wrong with my book. Also Claude is BARELY functional as a spell check.

Missed this earlier - Dracula as romantic anti-hero or Jesus stand-in doesn't do it for me but I do like the "fuck your church, you want a monster, now you have one" angle some interpretations have.

I actually listened to the audiobook and then watched the Coppola version almost back to back and it's funny how Coppola took so much of it directly from the book but then HUGE key storytelling points he completely fabricated or misinterpreted. It's a very strange dichotomy the way some of it is...

Just saw a blog post by an author who wrote his first book because he'd met me at a convention and was inspired talking about how he used AI for his last book, uses it as a teaching tool, and teaches his students how to use it. I mean, I appreciate the honesty in outing himself but that just...

It's funny, my nephews are just starting to get into D&D and one of them asked if XYZ monster was real or not or if it was just from the game and I was like well funny thing, a lot of these things were creatures people really did believe were real for a long time because of myths... (They didn't...

Misha is probably the least exciting Oktober Guard they could make, but I want the team, so he's a yes. It's not a huge cast so I'd be a completionist, like just trying to get all of Alpha Flight (grumbling).

In my defense, when I did Law & Order they were on sale for 28 dollars on Amazon. What if Hasbro sees the thread and start reissuing them all with new Disavowed looks? It's funny, before I started doing this I was just really into mashing up Classified with Alien/Predator (I was just looking...

I think it's Mindbender. Mindbender's insane, but he is a man of science, and he would have seen the footage and had to square the circle that monsters are real, and they do not give a single shit about whatever science he might throw at them to stop them.

I needed one more short story for an anthology that came out last year so I snuck in an old flash fiction piece I'd written years ago about Apollo trying to figure out how to not be the worst dad in the world when his father was such a notoriously bad example. Maybe if he'd stop fucking anything...

Code Name: Nemesis Immortal File Name: Unknown Primary Military Specialty: N/A Secondary Military Specialty: N/A Birthplace: the lost city of Cobra-La, deep in the Himalayan Mountains Rank: N/A The only information the Lewis administration has about the organism we have identified as the...

This. My partner always asks when I'll stop working three jobs and actually turn down freelance work any time it's offered and I'm like: when I have enough money in the bank if I get laid off and can never work again we'll be okay. I took a paycut to get out of tech because I was so fucking...

Thanks - I was so sure I got one because I had one solitary MOTU figure sitting in my POL at the time and was like sure, I'll just ship those two together. (The pile has since... grown)

They're SO CLOSE to getting it, and yet so fucking stupid.

I knew he had to be from a show because he was so realistic-looking. That's a hoot. I definitely wanted a more animal-like/monstrous Baije and even if I never play the game the Black Myth version is kind of perfect for what I need on my shelf. Much appreciated.

Am I losing my mind or did BBTS send a processing soon email about Hildr a week or two back? I've got a few things in my POL and I could've sworn she was processing but I can't find the message. I kinda just want to hit ship in the morning cos that means she'll process in the afternoon, right...
