We also need to stand in solidarity with our artists and designers. AI is already being used to make book covers, and it is going to be a very short time before human artists are cut out of cover design completely.
Add an AI art limiting/prohibiting clause into your contracts.
Authors: we need to stand up with the actors. AI is ALREADY HERE in our work. I just spoke to a Very Famous Author who has to remain nameless for legal reasons. They are held up in a contract negotiation because a Major Publisher wants to train AI on their work.
DARK HEIR debuts at number seven on the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list!
Thank you so much to everyone who bought, preordered and supported the book, this means so much to me!
In both Vere & Akielos they use longswords, and that’s Laurent & Damen’s primary weapon. In Akielos soldiers sometimes use a spear or trident in which case they have a secondary short sword like a xiphos. Damen’s also proficient on a heavier two hander, but longsword is his main.
@cspacat
I've got a question on the swords used in Captive Prince. I'm designing a tattoo and want to get things correct. What types of swords are used in Vere & Akielos and what did Laurent & Damen use in the series? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😁💕
#DarkRise

Thanks for letting me know that art I shared on Fanart Friday was partially AI generated.
I love and appreciate the enthusiasm of all fan creators, but I can’t share AI art unless I know the AI has been trained ethically.
Accordingly, the post will be removed by end of day.
Rice is a favourite writer and a huge influence on my work
Laurent was inspired by many characters including but not limited to Dunnett’s Lymond, Lestat, Griffith from Berserk, characters that transform childhood damage into a form of strength that can in itself be damaging 🧵
When someone told me the “Why did the chicken cross the road?” “To get to the other side” joke was not just a pointless non-joke but was instead morbid humour where the chicken reaches “the other side” when it is killed on the road.
It was a huge honour to be given the opportunity to create/write a new villain for bi icon*
