I don't think you're supposed to say that part out loud
March's wind emerges from February's rear end.
Lots of travel agencies, smoke shops, and adult toys. Some of their email addresses are pretty funny.I don't think you're supposed to say that part out loud
You have to share some now. I'm curious. Please.
I would but we're legally bound to keep private information private. Even spammers have privacy rights, unfortunately.
*sigh* That's a good reason.
Now we need a thread to make up fake addresses for spammers.

Thanks, Moose. It makes a lot of sense to do that.
So, now we can fill up this thread with more and more good news.

A year after acceptance and three years after I first wrote the story, I signed off on final edits for a sci-fi flash fic this morning!
I’ve been anxious about this one because the first publisher who took it (back in 2023j folded before publication, so it’s a relief to enter the home stretch and lay those demons to rest at last

US Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material
The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up the issue of whether art generated by artificial intelligence can be copyrighted under U.S. law, turning away a case involving a computer scientist from Missouri who was denied a copyright for a piece of visual art made by his AI system.

Congratulations, X Equestris! Hoping for a trouble-free process this time
Placed 3rd out of 17 in the .com championship contest! The top two stories actually tied in score (with four judges, no less), so those writers split the gold and silver prize money. I barely made the podium; real squeaker between 3rd and 4th.
Lately I've kind of started wondering if I've lost my mojo, which is unusual as I'm typically quite confident with my writing. So, it's a bit of a relief, to be honest.

Mojo can't be lost, only misplaced. Temporarily.

That was me! I came in 4th in the poetry contest, too
My grandmother has a kidney stone blockage and sepsis, and that's - well that's bad, obviously, and I'm not happy about that, but I AM happy in that she's holding her own, she's still here, and she's tough as hell. I'm choosing to be happy and optimistic.
