Submission guidelines have become like those recipe sites. You have to scroll through so much shit to find the payrate.
๐ Shauntae ๐
"payrate??? payrate????" i whisper more and more frantically as i scroll through the mile long essay the editors wrote about why they refuse works with clowns in them.
๐ Shauntae ๐

I watched the SFF community lose its collective shit over an essay critiquing Legends & Lattes.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Elon Musk picked a fight with Hasan Piker and it backfired.
THE SHUNT
amazing how cloistered he is at this point when he thinks everyones first response is to kiss his ass. jon stewart got his ass too (ie basically forcing elon to reveal he knows he cant defend himself live lol)
๐ Shauntae ๐
THE SHUNT
: He keeps being shocked by how much people hate him, and it's hilarious to me.
๐ Shauntae ๐
WRITING COMMUNITY DRAMA. Many people responded to the essay on Legends & Lattes by assuming the worst about the essayist and then trying to STALK THEM.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Said essayist is a twit of the GFM variety but that doesn't justify this level of bullshit.

๐ Shauntae ๐
THE SHUNT
: You're welcome! Sadly, the author is a discoursing twit who says unhinged shit half the time. BUT! I can admit when someone hits the nail on the head.
๐ Shauntae ๐
I do think they could have one over how food service ISN'T cozy what-so-ever. Which makes it extra detached on the behalf of these cozy authors to set their stories in restaurants and coffee shops.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Like... fuck, man.

I've cried so many times in the walk-in freezer than I'm comfortable admitting.
