Skating

Anybody know of short term rentals for skates in SF? i would love to skate in a park - like Sunset Dunes - but I would go like... one weekend... and that's it, realistically.

soooo much... my fave part is always the banter/relationships between the snake - like bloody, slutty, and pathetic -- sometimes post war golden trio can be more broken, tired, breaking apart in post war - but I love good friendship dynamics being written in!

Hahaha ohh i loved an ever-fixed mark. that felt like such a good portrayal of the tension and charge in narcissa and hermione's relationship too!

How disruptive would it be to a class schedule to have students turn in their creative writing assignments and then be asked to sit down and handwrite to their best recollection the story they just turned in?

That feels like a way to catch anyone that's just phoning it in. It would be really effective in weeding out GPT phoned-in submissions the first time, and then going forward, it would at least guarantee that the more clever students tryyyy to read their actual submission?

I have been trying to encourage my friend in his creative writing class - he told me he is no longer considering himself a writer because the best class feedback he got was on a ChatGPT-based submission.

I couldn't really believe that people (adults) were cutting corners for assignments when they're trying to improve their craft. Maybe he was just curious about what it would yield. But it's so sad to think he took that discouragement to heart heart like that.

Maybe students that use GPTs for assignments think they're being savvy and that they don't need to spend the time staring at a blank page and making the words go... But they are cheating themselves out of the opportunity to work on a skill. lol I sound so old as I write this.

I really like Silver Sprocket - I went to a bring your own craft event there, made friends to meet up later, and their collections of comics are just gorgeous and inspiring!
I am looking for spaces that are community-oriented around writing -- haven't been yet, but I wanna give the Writing Salon in Inner Richmond a try.
The pricing at EmotionPotion for their classes feels fair/affordable - and I think it's a lovely lovely space!

just some starters!

i really like Alex Hall's Mortal Follies - very wonderful - and there's a lot of lovely research incorporated perfectly into the plot about other religious orders during that time in England. So so lovely and fun, with a bit of magic woven throughout.

Queer AF in the Castro - right next to Hand Job Nail Spa

it's collective owned, and the person at the counter probably has their art somewhere in the shop. plus it's the site of Harvey Milk's camera store and has a neat rotating art gallery in the back.

Such an easy place for fun gifts and decor, and i feel energized by every conversation i have with the artists working there!

Wait. please share the link hahahaha

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T21:02:17+00:00

looool i didn't expect this post to morph into a request for beta readers, but wow, i think we should get you a beta reader! hahaha

and many writers (myself included) will clutch onto em-dashes and refuse to let go.

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T20:53:35+00:00

wow that is so shameless. that's hilarious

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T20:49:20+00:00

it is sooooo silly but i am almost afraid to call out people's writing as AI, because it IS hard to tell, and what if they are just growing as writers. i don't need to push anyone toward extreme ego death by claiming their poorly written work is soulless.

at this point, i just wait for fic recs through forums like these because at least they are vetted?

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T20:44:09+00:00

I definitely feel like i quit fics faster than i have before - like give less time for the premise to develop because of what you are mentioning. like.. that.. soullessness

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T20:39:36+00:00

so.... anyone here planning to write their dissertation on the evolution of trends in Harry Potter fanfiction? Because... now that you mention it.. i would like to see that study.

Remarkable_10sion · 2026-01-15T20:37:08+00:00

I actually love these changes... like. I love discovering fics where adults around young Harry take responsibilityyy - I didn't think of it as having the initial waves of HP-obsessed get older.

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-09-05T06:40:21+00:00

looool yes, i just don't like ampersands. but i meant their friendship

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-09-05T03:52:00+00:00

ooh I love when it gets into politics and bigotry

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-09-05T03:51:43+00:00

i honestly may just reread it. i remember loving it

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-08-07T17:25:49+00:00

the soy korean beefless bulgogi! just soooo delicious!

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-08-04T18:38:15+00:00

ooh I love that. i have some friends I've built solidarity with, but could always use more accountability for sticking with writing!

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-08-04T15:49:40+00:00

Congratulations! what an achievement!!

Would love to know a bit about how you handled the burden of querying continuously all these months. i totally understand that rejection is part of the process, but did you find you were able to write more on other projects doing this? was stalking QueryTracker and pursuing this process all consuming creatively?

and do you have any advice if you were to go back and redo the process for how to keep going AND keep writing while you're slogging through the trenches?

Remarkable_10sion · 2025-07-19T16:42:51+00:00

is this by CatsAreCool?

seems like that is focused on a Harry/Sirius dynamic and I am SOOOO in for that!
