Hello, #LateNightWrite! I am also in mourning for Bioware. Both Dragon Age and Mass Effect have been hugely influential to me as a writer. Mostly by making me more comfortable writing queer characters, but also by giving me so much inspiration. Also RIP Mass Effect 5, you looked awesome.

Unfortunately, yes. The big question I'm wresting with is, how does one kill an immortal being? I want to do something kind of different, so not fire or decapitation. I'm thinking some kind of poison or curse? Still have to work that one out. #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
Q4: Are there any story aspects or plot points you're still trying to figure out before #FirstDraftFall? #WeeknightWriters
I've never had much luck with the more structured outlines. It takes the motivation right out of me. The best I can do is have an idea of an ending, and some rough thoughts on what I need to do to get there. Besides, most of my best ideas come to me when I'm pantsing it. #WeeknightWriters
Q3: Are you using a structured outline method for your #FirstDraftFall story? If your pantsing, do you have a general sense of direction of where your story will be going? #WeeknightWriters
Memento Mori is about Taran, who watches his lover and fellow immortal, Casimir, mysteriously die. In the madness of grief, he plans on breaking the taboo of necromancy to bring him back to life. Pet Sematary meets Interview With The Vampire #WeeknightWriters
Q2: What is your #FirstDraftFall story about? Share a little or as much as you feel like! #WeeknightWriters
Very cool chart! I think I'm mostly a Neutral Pantser, with hints of Chaotic Plantser when the mood strikes. I need to try for more organized writing, though, because the chaos and pantsing isn't really working for me. #WeeknightWriters
Q1: Since we're talking about plot, we figured it would be fun to see how you plot! Based on this nifty chart, what is your plotting/writing style alignment? #WeeknightWriters
Evening #WeeknightWriters! I'm Theo (he/they), transmasc writer of queer speculative romance + erotica. I'm still not sure what I'm writing for #FirstDraftFall out of my WIPs. Probably Memento Mori; an immortal who is mysteriously killed, and his lover who will go to any lengths to bring him back.
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your #FirstDraftFall planning is going! Are you plotting anything? Pantsing? Somewhere in between?

SMUGGLE YOUR MATERIALS TO THE ARCHIVIST
Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

From Chapter 1 of Memento Mori: There are no words that would even touch the depth of his grief. Taran watches the coffin as it's lowered into the ground, and thinks, /he'll never be reborn like this./ That is when clarity comes to him, and madness arrives with it. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Four: Share a passage involving something breaking, literally or metaphorically! Last question at :45! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #shareapassage #writing #writingshare #broken #brokenthings #lgbtq
Yes, if you count the (man-made) rules of magic. Specifically, using necromancy, which is extremely forbidden. But Taran is past the point of caring. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Three: Does your plot involve breaking things? Next question at :35! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #breakingthings #plot #writingtone #broken #lgbtqiaplus
I think Taran's entire life breaks in Memento Mori when his lover, Casimir, dies. It certainly breaks something in his mind. They've been together for literal centuries at that point, and are far too codependent. Suffice it to say, their relationship isn't exactly a healthy one. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Two: What parts of your characters’ lives are broken? Next question at :25! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #broken #characterwriting #characterwriting #brokencharacters
Hi #QueerWritersChat! I'm Theo (he/they), transmasc author of (mostly dark) romance + erotica. Right now, I'm working on Memento Mori, a dark tale of love and necromancy.
Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Before we break things, let’s start by settling in! Introduce yourself and tell us what you're working on! No links, please! We’re saving those for the end. Next question at :15! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

AI has talked kids into suicide, fueled paranoid delusional that led to murder, degraded education quality in both k-12 and higher ed, run roughshod over copyright law, increased spam, fueled spam, fueled fraud, degraded the environment, put people out of work, the list goes on and on.

It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant
They hounded Aaron Swartz to death for downloading papers from jstor but society is now supposed to just accept mass theft because this thing can write that TPS report *for* you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...
