@[email protected] Plurality, DID and systems are pretty badly understood, so it's a lot of self-ID and guesswork and introspections, I mostly had conversations with a more complex system (let's say for a better term, collective of personhoods) than me and a bunch of stuff clicked, they gave me great advice as well.

I will take a break from discworld for some time. Hogfather was fucking hilarious, though

Read "Men at Arms" by Pratchett. I think I am tired of the Watch books by now. Honestly somewhat grating to read, actually liked it less than "Guards, Guards".

Hi everyone,

I want to write more and hopefully get better, but I got really turned off from writing coms by what I heard and saw on Discord and reddit-logo. I am looking for a group where I don't receive unnecessarily caustic/bitter/passive-aggressive criticism for mistakes, especially since english is not my first language and I am probably not the most innovative/daring writer around (I just wanna write fantasy). If you need an example of stuff I take issue with, look at the r/writingcirclejerk mega and reccs for what turns me off.

I get that you have to show your stuff to other people eventually and get criticism for your mistakes, but I would prefer a space that is not so emotionally frustrating, lowkey to highkey transphobic/ableist etc etc. I get screamed at and have to deal with condescending assholes enough on the job/politics. I don't want that in something that is supposed to be FUN.

Do you have any recommendations for online groups or places that are relaxed, ND- and trans-friendly? They should still offer criticism and not white lie about things. Becoming "Better" means avoiding clear, objective mistakes, better structure, producing enjoyable, if not super groundbreaking works of fictions in the english language.

I don't want any "the world is hard, you have to be hard on yourself, you should suck it up" shit. There has to be a less gnarly way.

Thank you so much (insert unobtrusive, yet friendly heart emoji here)
