Being stripped of all possessions eliminates a lot of distractions. I've got time to read, to think, to play chess.

imagine you only have 2 minutes left to live and you go up to a rooftop so you don’t hurt anyone else, but your stubborn employer/the only friend you have comes to save you even though the chances are slim and he’s probably going to die with you if he stays, so you point a gun at him to make him go away and that doesn’t work and next thing you know he’s unbuttoning your shirt and trying to disable the bomb strapped to your chest while you tell him that it’s okay, you would’ve killed yourself by now anyway if you hadn’t met him. meanwhile, new york glitters gently in the background 

You brought her with you? Every cop in that city is looking for that kid!

Ok, it's taken me SIX YEARS to make this. But I did it! It's done! Please watch it!

(No AI used fuck AI)

It's my first animation project, which is why it took so long. I had to learn to animate to make it. It's only a bit over 2 minutes, but I made it the best I possibly could. Please please please watch it. I am so proud of it.

It's a trailer for my first novel- a late YA scifi/superhero book.

Is it absurd to make a fully animated book "trailer" for a book that's been out for 6 years, with voice acting and commissioned music (by the fantastic @plottwiststudios) ? I mean yes. Of course. I'm not even doing this for real marketing purposes because this is a ridiculous thing to do. I don't even really think it'll sell books but the process of making it made me really really happy.

I love my fictional disaster queers, and I love my book, and when I was a kid I thought I'd grow up to be an animator. I've always loved animation, and I really, really enjoyed making something animated myself. I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Please watch it. Please share it.

If it does make you actually want to read the story, you can get it as an ebook, paperback, or audiobook. (the ebook is currently free)

I start my next animation project- a fake anime opening credits for book 3 in this series, starting next month.

We didn't hack in, we were let in. It's a honeypot. The program is sophisticated. They're using a worm to infect any devices connected to our private network. Including our phones. They're listening to us right now.

This is a great convo with a bunch of podficcers, some of whom have been podding for over fifteen years. I love the community aspect that emerges in this discussion. If you're interested in fannish history, archiving, or preservation, have a listen!

The AO3 collection is now revealed, get ready for some meta! There were 7 works submitted for Behind the Pod 2026, which you can find on the AO3 collection.

We have a whole range of making-of/dvd commentary (including the incredible Gusu Summer Camp Dating Sim!) as well as some cool interviews!

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.
