That is clever. I think the site heard you, because it loaded right up. lol

I haven't been able to upload for months. I'll try to wipe cache and cookies and see if that helps. Fingers crossed for an easy solution. In other news, Chrome can eat my shorts. Google's stolen enough of my information.

Ordinarily that would be the Author's Guild and the SFWA. The RWA also.

Mr. Grumpy Pants is back with a good discussion on book piracy and a story Maggie Stiefvater told about 10 years ago on Tumblr but is still quite relevant today. Muchly grumping, some cussing. NSFW

We stuck with the custom of having multiple, earned, names that can pile up a bit over the course of an immortal life. For example, we have Etienne, a half-human half-sidhe who's about 1100 years old. He can be called Prince. He can be called Queen's Son. Summer's Get is one of the ruder names...

My parents were volunteer first responders in New Jersey when they met. My mom was a writer and a brilliant satirist, and Irish is virtue enough, and my dad got dropped on his head from time to time. He had two enlistments in the US Navy. First time broke a submarine. I don't know why they let...

Sorry, "those that keep the nuts in place and prevent damage from too rough screwing," stopped me for a moment. I write the Books of Binding and I can be worse than a 13 year-old boy at the pool.

We're having a blast watching our magics come to life. Potions are fun, because they're spells that one 'pre-casts' and take into a situation already primed and only need to be applied. So, of course our potion master will cast the Word of Command that is preloaded into the potion, but to be...

The answer is in the name. Banshee in Irish are called Bean Sidhe, or the Washerwoman. Basically the same pronunciation. Maybe more 'ghostly' than actual ghosts. In Ireland, as in other places, Faerie is tied closely to the realms of the dead and are thought to intermingle. Thus, we can have a...

I don't know how I missed this. We have a potion master who makes a fairly potent 'orgasm brownie.' Not to be mixed up with the pot brownies, which she also makes. Small bites are recommended. ;)

We have fae a'plenty. Grow up Irish and just try to get away. This means I will mess with anything. Nothing is sacred... mostly. Fortunately, all of our fae are located in an Urban Fantasy world, so it doesn't take much of a stretch to begin pushing boundaries. We've got redcaps and jack 'o...

I'm the Thing That Won't Shutup, but that's the business. Talkie and kittehs and making friends. Sometimes there's even books. ;) There are people who I don't know, who know tghe names of all 8 of our animals and have deep feels about them. It low-key freaks me out.

Oh, it gets worse. The scammers who initiate and maintain close contact with their victims are predominately slave labor. Lots are located across SE Asia, which has a pretty tech-savvy population with high literacy rates. These poor bastards go into the cities looking for work, get nabbed...

And before we begin to think that scammers can only find us if we're published, that's not how it works. They're finding us in the Comments, especially on the larger pages and groups in our socials.
