Conclusion: Am User Mnaem :3

So today in "Batshit things happening during the Australian election" - the Liberal Party has dropped a rap diss track about the Prime Minister and shopping prices on Soundcloud, and for those wondering, yes it is the worst thing you will ever hear.

As if that wasn't weird enough on its own, there's plenty of accusations circulating that they made the song using AI, given the bizarre choice of using an American accent in the song, and it's been pointed out that the cover art is parodying a Drake album cover which isn't exactly someone you want to be aligning yourself with in a rap battle right now.

Shoutout to this quote from Channel 7's story when the song dropped:

(waiting for the bus) I should be writing

(at home) I should be doing my homework

(not doing homework) I should be writing

i have several Obsidians, some of which have hundreds of pages, but have never actually posted anything. perhaps this is my Ao3 Author's Curse

hello writers.

the fandom may be small, but within me i have 1000 people worth of autistic special interest and each one of them is writing their own AO3 fics (like those infinite monkeys with the typewriters)

Update :3

ok i think we're out of the woods! most major plotholes have been resolved (at least partially.) i am putting the vampires back in their coffins for a later AU

(whiteknuckling the edges of my mechanical keyboard) I will not fill these plotholes with vampires I will not fill these plotholes with vampires I will not fill these plotholes with vampires I will not

I just finished the first chapter of my Project Hail Mary fairytale AU! It's only about 700-800 words rn but this is something I've been working really hard on and I'm really proud of it :)

hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.

my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.

but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.

here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)

as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!

best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free! EDIT: some reblogs have mentioned that you can apparently link your own personal cloud storage (dropbox, gdrive, icloud, etc.) to obsidian for free! that way you can access your obsidian vaults across multiple devices without the extra fee. i don't mind supporting the devs but just something to look into if costs is a concern.

i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.
