I have been itching for this day! Gnome on the Range, @TammySalyer's new novel, is now available for pre-order! It's a fun romp through the old west with mythology come to life. This book has it all: Gods, guns, and gnomes [w/ hard g for alliteration]!

If you've been following the prosecraft kerfuffle, @mmasnick breaks down why it's fair use and the pitchforks are wholly misguided https://t.co/AJeAN4lBKq
The really shitty thing here is that the comments on Hugh’s thread are very civil. People may not agree, but they’re polite about it because he has clout. The little guy, like Benji Smith? He gets dog piled in the worst way. How you treat the weak shows your true nature.
"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."
And JFC the comments, from authors I cherish, COMPLETELY missing the point of the site. Absolute ignorant reactions from people like Roxanne Gay and Gareth Powell? Makes me want to pitch-in on this project. Please, whatever you do, @benji_smith don’t delete the code or the data!
This is a really shitty resolution to the knee-jerk, anti-AI community and I think it does a disservice to the writing community to remove this site. To @benji_smith, I hope this labor of love finds its way back online some day.
X is the future of everything we know and everything we don’t. It’s the alpha, the omega and the Lebowski. It will change you in ways you never wanted. It smells like fresh-cut steel and tastes like asphalt. Welcome to X, the next step into the final step towards the last step.
@OctopusOwl Also, coming from a family where religion was used as a means of manipulation and control, his statements about how the cruel can be smart and dazzle with words couldn’t resonate more strongly.
