Link Post

I am alive! I have been writing fics and reading books and finding links and... comprehensively failing to post about them.

So. Trying to fix that.

On the book side of things, I recently finished Stars of Chaos by priest. It's an m/m steampunk political drama and I had a lot of fun with it. Chang Geng is a tiny adorable capitalist and I love him for it.

(Though, on a related note: wow are the days of the English speaking danmei community being BAD AT WARNINGS coming to a middle.)

• On the topic of trigger warnings, an essay about safety techniques in roleplaying, and why a lot of the common ones don't work for everyone.
• essay written by a prisoner that is about a harvest moon game is very popular in their prison
• thoughts on rpg design
• KJ Charles on implausibility in historical fiction
• We win these! The sun is finally setting on the British Empire
• Why do LLMs keep naming sci fi characters Elara Voss?
• TIL Mississipi has very good literacy rates, and their techniques would likely work elsewhere.
