Kobo Plus is better than KU for authors because it doesn't require the exclusivity AND subscribers can just grab books like they would with KU. AND It's Canadian. And my novel Clipped is on Kobo plus.... cough cough. #Booksky #Kobo
SandstoneKobo is running a promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus, from now through August 4 where you can get a 14-day free trial and then your first month after that is 99 cents- might be a good time to check it out if you've been wanting to! Unsure if this promo is US-only!

I mean, Cats (2019) but we knew it was garbage so we had some mind altering substances beforehand and musical movies with BFF was X-mas tradition so we _treated ourselves_. That was the last movie I saw in theatres before Covid.

#SFFChat 4 I was gonna say Chamber from Marvel Comics but then I remembered SkekNa from The Dark Crystal exists... Let me introduce you to SKEKNA THE SLAVE-MASTER!! Eyepatch. Claw arm prosthesis. My boy! He has like 3 lines in the whole movie & isn't in the Netflix series except for a namedrop.
SFFChat#SFFChat Q4: Share a favourite disabled author or character (besides your own).
#SFFChat 3 When an exalted is banished, their wings are removed, essentially crippling them. Since we don't have wings I guess this is a loophole in which I can say yes? Broken/malformed/underdeveloped wings.
SFFChat#SFFChat Q3: Are there any disabilities in your world that don't exist in ours (or the opposite--real-world disabilities that aren't considered such in your world)? OR, how are disabled people treated in your world?
#SFFChat 2 I don't outright say Moroi is on the spectrum cuz she essentially raised herself so of course she's going to be emotionally immature/stunted, it's post-apocalypse. I don't hand wave away possible reads of her being ND. If readers relate to that, cool! NecroRaver is a classic narcissist.
SFFChat#SFFChat Q2: Share a character of yours who has a mental illness, is neurodivergent, or has an intellectual disability!
#SFFChat 1 Zak from Clipped, was an angel and had his wings amputated. NecroRaver is an arm amputee up to the shoulder blade. Moroi has a seizure condition and the protagonist of Wheelchair Seating is, well, wheelchair-bound. Oh, you said _a_ character. Oh well you get 4 for the price of 1.
SFFChat#SFFChat Q1: It's Disability Pride Month! Share a character of yours who has a physical disability or a chronic illness.
#SFFChat Hi, I'm KQ Watson aka Kyew. I hate the summer. I hate being hot. I hate being blinded by the sun. I am a red head so I burn after approx 57 seconds outside. Summer life is impossible.
SFFChat#SFFChat Intro: Introduce yourself & share your favourite or least favourite summer activity! (Also yay!!! First SFFChat in a few weeks--sorry for my absence).
Yeah, the white guy who pretended to be an Asian guy is now moving to Japan to take over the Japanese output of Marvel. Consequences? What are those?
Asher ElbeinBack when I was a comics journalist for a minute in 2017 (?), I wrote about C.B Cebulski, Marvel's then-new EIC, and his weirdly long history of pretending to be a Japanese man named Akira Yoshida. He is now, many years later, leaving that job to become Editor, Asia Originals, at Marvel in Tokyo.
Look at that, more creature work just opened up for Doug Jones and Javier Botet.

Clipped's cover was made from a stock image that was uploaded onto the Internet in 2013. Wheelchair Seating's cover was made from a stock image from Depositphoto XYZ's cover was drawn by an artist I knew using her own two hands and tablet.
Maria HaskinsYou can get cover art made by real artists. You can buy premade covers from real artists. You can use stock images / art for your covers without involving AI-gen images. Writers and publishers have been getting covers made forEVER w/o AI-gen art and we don't have to use the tools of the enemy now.
