Received an email today from an AI company saying how they can help storytellers map out their ideas etc. Email was addressed to me and mentioned stuff I have actually done but unmistakably badly written by AI. If it can't even email me convincingly, why would I trust it with my work?

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Been out to a metal gig with a good friend of mine. Were having a pint elsewhere before the train. He's visibly distressed. Whats wrong? It's too sexy in here.

I'm very excited to have a story in this new Hippocampus Press anthology, edited by S. T. Joshi. Lovers of Darkness: Stories Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book. My contribution is entitled “Dextera Manus” and is set in Whitby, during a Goth weekender. www.moorereppion.com/lovers-of-da...

Finished Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson yesterday and really, really enjoyed it. Felt like a classic horror paperback from the 80s/90s in the best possible way.

The casting, acting, directing, editing, the effects... everything is superb. It's fantastic. But it feels like a film that I'd be trying to get people to watch and they'd be telling me to turn it off.

The look and feel of it really reminded me of "The Viewing" episode from Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities series, which I will have to watch again now. Also loads of blatant, unashamed, and deliberate Kubrick references.
