  When I’m deciding whether or not to read a book by a new-to-me author, I always look at the bad reviews. Good reviews don’t tell me what I want to know. Bad reviews, though… I just looked up a book. It’s got a 1-star review that says, “Looked cool, interesting story, and definitely something I would read. But again, content. Language: d*mn, b*tch, h*ll, probably more. Mention of people liking people of the same gender.”

  Want to name a couple of extremely minor characters in my next book? Help me name two cats that will only be mentioned once. I’m thinking one extremely dignified and proper name and one absolutely absurd name. What have you got for me? #AskFedi

  New month, new book thread! My first book for April was Sentenced to Troll by S.L. Rowland (narrated by Eric Jason Martin). After Chad’s online trolling goes too far, he’s sentenced to spend 30 days as an actual troll in a video game.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116153883462428890 I’m in a similar situation. So far I’ve been ignoring it or, when forced, using it to complete tasks and then disregarding the (terrible and inaccurate) results.
