Neil Gaiman: Hi, I'm Neil Gaiman. I'm wearing the first red T-shirt I've worn since 1987. Because I'm a member of the WGA. I'm on strike. I care so much for the things that I've written but I'm out here right now not working and here until we get a good contract because I care about the future of the WGA, the future of young writers. I want a world in which no AI writes scripts or attempts to. I want a world in which young writers get to learn how to make television. And I want a world in which we are fairly compensated for the things that we put up on streaming.

YEAHHHHH ok. I need to post about this but uh. Tumblr has a very fun glitch! If you press R ONCE on the desktop ver of the site, it will reblog the focused post instantly, no tag editing or blog selection. it may accidentally post it a couple more times , but that's it.

however. if you fucking hold R? it'll reblog the post instantly too, but MULTIPLE TIMES INSTANTLY. like I hit post limit bc I thought it wasn't actually reblogging the post. I only held the r button for a solit 10 seconds for it to reblog that post 200+ TIMES. my big ass mistake

either use or abuse it is up to you, but I reported it to Tumblr bc holy fuck dude. that's too much instant power

Tumblr Support just said this is a feature, not a glitch.

eidolonetchings asked:

What are the chances that Sally and James will have an on page reunion?

That might be spoilers or rude to ask, idk. I'm just excited about seeing characters reunite or meet each other, I don't know why but I always am. Can I bribe you to have Thomas and Antimony meet in a book and not between books? How much money does it take to bribe an author? Is it rude to bribe an author for scenes because it's telling them what to write / how to do their job? I don't know if that's a thing, I just love Incryptid and the characters and I'm excited about things that may or may not happen in future books. I mean if I'm excited for future incryptid books and thinking about what the characters will do next, that means you're a good author. You're a great author, I love Incryptid.

This ask is kind of a mess, normally I'm better at words. I hope I'm not annoying!

seananmcguire answered:

It’s not annoying, and you’re fine, but it’s a good opportunity for me to offer some material illustration for my requests. Namely: under most circumstances, you sending me this request in a place where I cannot pretend not to have seen it would require me never to do the things you’re asking for. Now, the actual legality here is a big topic, and one that’s debated by better legal minds than my own, but at the end of the day, “never take ideas from readers” is part of the scripture I have to live by, to be sure that I am morally, ethically, and legally in the clear.

I have already finished book thirteen, and am waiting on my edit letter now. Other people have seen how I’m dealing with the progression of these characters, independent of anything a reader may ask me for. I cannot have stolen an idea from you without a time machine. But if I hadn’t finished the book? I would be morally obligated, having seen this Ask, to make sure none of these characters met on-page until after they had been given substantial time to interact off screen.

TL;DR: Please do not send plot ideas or specific scene requests to authors. It puts us in a bad position, and can force us to change the stories we were planning.

Fuck that post going around saying "you can have coffee in your story without justifying it :) you don't need to explain everything :)" I want, no, I DEMAND a fully researched ethnobotanical paper on every single food item in your work, if you don't explain to me where did potatoes come from in your fantasy setting or don't explain how the industry of coffee works over interstellar distances with full detail you are doing things wrong and I personally hate you and I hate your stupid story, fuck you

elbiotipo

Why are your stupid little wizards and knights eating potato stew in your dumb European middle ages fantasy world. Where did they get potatoes from. Where is the center of domestication of potatoes, do you have a fantasy Andean civilization? What are the social and economic consequences of having such a calorie rich crop in cold climates. I don't care about "themes" or "enemies to lovers with found family", I didn't ask about that. Where does your idiot space captain gets their shitty coffee from. Is it imported from Earth? Are there coffee growing worlds? Is it an alien species replacement with the same name? What are the social consequences of that? Don't try to change the subject, I'll stop pointing the gun when I want, I'm trying to have a conversation here,

Honestly if I ever were to write scifi or fantasy, I would probably focus more on botanics, genetics, food production, culture and society, and infrastructure; than the plot.

Plots are hard and need much work. Technobabble and fantastiscal evolutionary niches are fun.

would people read stories without a plot? in thw past I've bewn doing vingnettes which where mostly written like a researcher reporting from their studies

TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”


Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.

Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.

Describing Terry Pratchett’s books is difficult. Someone asked me what the book I was reading was about, and I had to tell them it was about banking and the gold standard, but like in a cool way with golems and action. 

 I don’t think they believed me.

welcome to the club

amatalefay

It is so, so difficult to explain to people that your favorite book is about transgender feminist dwarves, Nazi werewolves, and the mystery of a missing piece of really old ritual bread. And Opera saves the day.

poorlydescribedpterrybooks

yes, give us those sweet, sweet, terrible descriptions

Macbeth but it’s about the witches

zephyrantha

Chapter one, the protagonist is hanged. Then he’s put in charge of the post office. Yes, in that order.

roachpatrol

it’s like mulan if there were way more mulans in mulan and also pratchett is extra irritated that too many people missed the point of jingo

The bureaucrats of the universe get annoyed at the paperwork humanity causes so they decide to steal Christmas.  Replacement Christmas is done by Death and replacement Death is done by goth Mary Poppins, who is also in charge of the investigation.

Someone is dying, journalism is being invented, and part of Pulp Fiction is going on in the background.

pimpmizziriam

The universes burocrats want to measure everything so they pay a man to imprison time so everything will stop and they can measure things in peace. Goth mary Poppins saves the day, the fifth horseman of the apocalypse is the best Milkman in the world, and chocolate saves the day. Also someone was born twice.

Classic dynastic machinations are happening in fantasy China, to be completely overturned by a gang of elderly barbarian heroes and the world’s worst wizard and best sprinter

Phantom of the Opera au, except there’s witches, a cookbook that is thinly-veiled pornography, and Christine is played by a fledgeling witch with multiple personalities who can’t stop being sensible long enough to enjoy herself

letslipthehounds

Hidden heir to the throne decides an cynical, alcoholic cop is the best role model in the world.

brawltogethernow

Atlantis provides an excuse for a xenophobia-inspired war between Britain and the Middle East but it’s fine because the armies are arrested for conspiracy to cause public nuisance.

quasi-normalcy

The idea that you can "protect" someone by giving them *less* knowledge is just so trivially fucking stupid on the face of it.

quasi-normalcy

Of course, you can certainly protect yourself by giving other people less information, which is 100% the actual point.

i-llbedammned

Even from a small child this angered me and largely lead to me distrusting every single person in a position of power because I knew they would feed me lies just to keep me placated.  This started as early as 3rd grade.

onlycosmere

(Fun tip: Being told “I kept you in the dark to protect you” is not only frustrating, but condescending as well. It’s a truly economical way to demean someone; if you’re looking to fit more denigration into an already busy schedule, give it a try.)ALT
my mom is very clever she quickly noticed that if I was kept in the dark I'd get 10x more anxious than when stuff was explained so I grew up with age appropriate explanations
