Okay so back to this novel-I-wrote thing...

@trixter man, i keep seeing that thing everywhere, and i am gonna eventually give in. if it had a frontlight I'd have bought it already.
@meredeth I’ve currently got a 7-year-old Nook when I want an e-paper screen but I’ve been looking to move to something more open. (It’s already far more open than a Kindle, to be fair.) It’s *fine*, but it’s sluggish and really slow to charge.

@trixter i already own 3 e-readers, alas, i have no such excuse. (^_^)

@meredeth I *also* have an iPad, but it’s just not the *same*! It’s my reader for comics, not so much for text.

The Xteink X4 Is The Cheap, Hackable eReader That's Just Enough
It has no touchscreen, no light, and it's under-powered. But the Xteink X4 has a devoted community that wants to make it sing.

@trixter evil gay as a protagonist?

@trixter evil gay as a protagonist?
@viktorTheBoar Sadly no, just a deeply morally conflicted bisexual.
Chaotic Good lesbian as another protagonist, though.

@trixter We hate that it's true, but evil gay characters are usually the best ones.

@triphazard They're *so fun*.

Giving theme songs to my supporting cast but I'm stuck on one because his song would be, like, something from Darius Rucker's country phase or some shit.

All right, any of my buddy-pals here interested in reading my first chapter? I’m open to feedback but mostly I need encouragement and accountability at this point. Also I will warn that this is dark fantasy and not exactly cozy.
I have the whole thing written, btw, but I’m doing one last round of revisions.

I have reached the stage where I am annoyed at anything I need to do that’s not writing which is unfortunate because I have a job.

@trixter I'm curious to read it, but I haven't read a lot of dark fantasy.

@jezlyn It’s just like… more undead things and body horror than regular fantasy.

@trixter I haven’t “read” a book in quite a while but I’m interested.

@jim Do you mean you've like... tasted a book? Maybe just smelled one?

@trixter I smell a lot of books. Listen to books occasionally. Peruse books often. Doing a proper read happens rarely than I’d like.

@trixter I used to be one of ABurt's Critters ( critters.org ), but I mostly limited myself to scifi stuff. If you want a reader that's not exactly 'in your demo', send me your stuff

@GabeReal I remember that group! Submitted some stuff back in the day, long, long ago. I'll send a link.

@trixter Thanks, I got it
How do you want reviews sent back to you? I'm used to doing crits though email, so this is new territory for me.I was in Critters for a couple years or so, and had a 1 (-ish) crits/week ratio when I left. I eventually left because it got to be a chore, making myself do at least one crit every week. I don't begrudge it at all, though, it definitely improved my craft and I got to read lots of different short stories and novels that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten access to.
But I wasn't subbing to markets nearly as much as I had hoped I would be, and the aforementioned chore-y-ness of it, made me decide to cut ties.
