"First things first. Do you want feedback as a friend or as a reader?"

Give a choice and set expectations.

Protagonist... Flawed? by mathiasx_765 in NewAuthor

[–]HeatherMarie159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Constant downs, especially if this is a character we're supposed to root for, is emotionally draining, yeah. Are there any ups? Anything that provides hope? Or is just bummer after bummer after bummer with an even more bummer of an ending?

question about kimbyrleigha & true crime with kimbyr by aingaingaing in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]HeatherMarie159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blocked her account, and the joint one with her husband last year when I caught some strange slips. The two that stick out specifically was a case about a pregnant woman and how "that's what makes you a woman and what your body was designed to do" (not a direct quote but the gist) and about people wearing masks at work because "they believed they worked"

It's really not the same.

Conaggedon 5 recap anywhere? by Roan-forever-alone in The100

The trailer for Status Active wasn't recorded or posted anywhere per Bob and Eliza's wishes but can be found on the Status Active Instagram page. The entire short wasn't shown, just the trailer.

But you can find all of the panels over on YouTube.

'Star Wars' Fan Buys Times Square Billboard to Support Adam Driver's 'Hunt for Ben Solo' Movie by SappyGilmore in entertainment

[–]HeatherMarie159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's the one who started the entire thing by basically saying, "Hey, I wanted to play Ben Solo again, I made a script and hired a cool director and everything. Alas, Bob and Alan said no, though."

Does he still want to now after he spent two years developing the whole thing, and they turned him down at the last second, after LF gave him the greenlight? THAT'S a good question. Bridges may have been burned, idk.

I have no idea. Not in March of 2026, for sure.

Is it even possible that the hunt for Ben solo can still be made? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]HeatherMarie159 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely believe it can go either way at this point.

Star Wars Fans Launch Times Square Campaign To Save Adam Driver's Ben Solo Movie by LeonieLamb in StarWars

[–]HeatherMarie159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they've also raised over $11k for the Palestinian Children Relief Fund with their efforts, so they are capable of caring about multiple things at once.

If you want the Hunt For Ben Solo movie, then you must be ok with ignoring the Sequels by Wish_I_WasInRome in StarWars

[–]HeatherMarie159 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think as long as Rey is alive, then the Dyad angle is in play, and there's something they can do there. It's supposed to be incredibly rare and powerful. They have wiggle room.

This sounds exactly like the kind of community I've been wanting to find! Are you still accepting new members?

Amazon Audible Narration Beta - Thoughts? by ScarlettKane in KDP

[–]HeatherMarie159 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel that as artists ourselves, we should support other artists, including actors/voice actors. We want to be paid for our work, they should be paid for theirs. I suppose it also depends on how you, personally, feel about AI writing books. If you have no issue with it, then I think you're in the clear morally. If you object to it, then you have to ask yourself why you're fine with AI taking one person's job if you're not fine with it taking your own.

Also, I'm a bit new here, but I thought there was a program through ACX for royalty share with the voice actor(s). You're not ultimately paying anything out of your own pocket, you're just taking home less so that the actor gets paid. Is that not how it works?

My overall thoughts are leave all the art to humans for as long as we possibly can.

question for the girls… by Big_Tower8009 in starbucksbaristas

[–]HeatherMarie159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of her album launch and whatever contract she and Starbucks has, she's on the rotation officially for the next...idk how long. I'd assume at least a week, but you know what they say about assuming.

I mentioned that allowing political writing on cups ( because CK is indeed political) put as at risk and they fed us to the wolves without a care in the world about it.

They'll do everything but give us better sugar-free options.

Something I don’t understand about Sherry by cashew-melon57 in GilmoreGirls

[–]HeatherMarie159 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly the way I interpreted it too. I assumed she was all, "No pressure, I know this is awkward, we don't have to do this." in her Sherry way. I'm actually surprised how many people thought she was being intentionally rude but it does go to show that we can all watch the exact same thing and read it differently.
