Looking at the timeline, I think AI has also played a nonzero part in why the burnout hasn't ended (creative jobs/commissions evaporating, increased suspicion/hostility between consumers and creators, further degradation of community fannishness via e.g. RP with AI rather than your favorite freaks)

Nodding, taking notes

(My current theory is 'the cultural shift from a norm of communities of peers to a norm of content creators and audiences,' which is basically a trajectory designed to launch people into burnout, but I am willing to be persuaded of other factors) (Obv. the Horrors are a HUGE other factor)

I feel like I have borne up reasonably okay under the Horrors, and my problems predate the greatest Horrors, which suggests that it's something else in /addition/ to the Horrors--although certainly the Horrors don't help us get out of the burnout hole

Depends on a) the degree of stylization (e.g. if they make the jackal extremely pointy) and b) the specific breed of hound.

Those fat rolls are giving me LIFE, oh my gosh 😍

A friend of mine once had crystals in their inner ear that caused extended vertigo; here's hoping you haven't suddenly developed Ear Jewels! (If that's what it is, though, it was treatable.)

I hope they can figure it out, and that you feel better soon!

Yesss, that's another interesting mystery.

I'm giving you my tightest hug and reminding you that your writing is extremely delightsome

The best answer <3

But at the same time, it's not possible to develop that spirit of curiosity and that will to comprehension without challenging readers at least a little. There's value in doing it. 💜

WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE, IKORA

Yessss, it's not just philosophically interesting but such a thoughtful book for character!

Seth Dickinson was truly doing it like no other

I'm so sorry--you're doing the best you can for her, and I'm glad she's had you. 💜

Does he know that he is perfect to me

Well, yes, but you are my friend, not my entertainment, and I am excited to see you having a good time <3

You are absolutely correct, and the 'developing in prod' trend that I've been seeing over the last few years is EXTREMELY alarming to me
