Commented on Crib Sheet: Quantum of Nightmares
Hmm, future book with Marry Drop forced to dealing with the superpowered children, you could play with the plot of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (it being a Ian Flemming novel fits with your other nods to his work.) You already...
Commented on Make Up a Guy
If I recall my Greco-Roman mythology correctly the rapey version of the Medusa tale was mostly the invention of Ovid, when after being exiled by Augustus he started depicting all authorities such as gods and heros as malicious and capricious....
Commented on Make Up a Guy
transgenic rodents with large increase in intelligence... well that gives me some serious Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH vibes....
Commented on Make Up a Guy
You could probably make a decent HP Lovecraft, or Edgar Rice Burroughs bot, both having the advantage of being mostly in the public domain, and in the case of Burrough his serialized works being fairly formulaic would be an advantage,...
Commented on I can't even
Funny you mention that, I was just listening to a history podcast today about US presidential elections today.It struck me how much the rhetoric used by Regan is eerily similar to the 2016 election (if you subtract Trumps baffonary and...
Commented on Roe v Wade v Sanity
Nah Troutwaters right, My point was that the US is F'ed up in its attitudes towards sex for EVERYONE....
Commented on Roe v Wade v Sanity
Yes that is what is was referring to. (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/talking-about-trauma/201902/when-male-rape-victims-are-accountable-child-support) Several cases are covered in different states where male rape victims have been made to pay child support to the children they fathered when they were raped by older women....
Commented on Roe v Wade v Sanity

That's fine - and I don't have all committees in mind at all times - but writers I know all need to have some copies for selling at signings, etc....

Oh, btw - not trying to be rude, still moving into being a published writer, and trying to figure out all the moving pieces.......
Greg Tingey commented on Crib Sheet: Quantum of Nightmares
GO OUT & BUY a copy of today's FT, for it's SUPPLEMENT. They have a mjor atricle, warning of the apparent dangers of "AI" Link here ... but it's paywalled For such a heavyweight, serious newspaper to publish this is certainly worthy of notice. - especially since, on R4 this morning, there was a warning (?) about a new artificial "mimic-your-voice" programme/system, that will, with a probabliity of one, be used for scamming politics, everywhere ... { Yes, I'm repeating this message across all three threads. It's impportant, as regards public debate, OK? }...

I'd say that Naomi Novik has done a bang up job drip feeding her YA readership the existential horror of the adult world in the Scholomance trilogy. It looks like a magic high school series.
