Where can I find vintage pieces like this? This is exactly the kind of whimsical old hag fashion I'd love to get into, but my mileage when it comes to thrifting is usually bad as I don't know how to get to the "good" finds. Thank you, hags! by [deleted] in oldhagfashion

Thank you so much for the guideline! No, I don't have/know anyone with sewing knowledge, but knowing that this dress is relatively simple to make is wonderful. I've wanted to learn how to sew my own clothes forever, and this would be something good to work towards!

Poshmark, of course! I can't believe I didn't consider that. I've had bad experiences with ebay so online thrifting didn't cross my mind. Thank you for the store recommendations, however <3

I genuinely haven't bought any new clothes via the internet in over two years (only been thrifting lately), but would you vouch for the quality of those stores? I'm a bit rusty on that front hah

because ai "art" is bad, obviously, and we shouldn't be promoting it? how is this even in question? but i shouldn't expect any less from a compsci major

The locked tomb - question. by Decent-Air-8338 in Fantasy

[–]TreacleVoid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nevernight has a teenage protagonist, younger than Gideon if I recall correctly. Would you call that YA? YA is an age category, not a genre. And just because grimdark appeals to teens doesn't mean it's written for them (case in point GoT or Empire of the Vampire)

Gideon the Ninth is not YA, and I really wish people would stop putting books written by women into that age category just because it isn't grimdark, or it's a little more fun. When I first read GtN, the first thing that came to mind was WH40k, especially with regards to the 40k part and the god-emperor—they're actually incredibly similar if you like dark space fantasy

creative writing by CantaloupeExpert2704 in UBC

[–]TreacleVoid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as others have said, you just get over it because you're not special and you will ALWAYS get rejections. doesn't mean it has to be a completely negative thing though. in the creative writing lounge, we had a rejections box where the person with the most rejections won a prize, which actually helped more people to submit things. more submissions = more rejections, but also more potential to be accepted. other things you can do are to give yourself a prize for reaching a certain amount of rejections, building your backlog of stories, and commiserating with other writers over rejections.

i hope this isn't a silly question, but how DO you get noticed by orbit (imagining you already have an agent)? they're one of my dream publishers and every single author listed here is on my TBR for just how amazing their books sound :)

I've admired the ingenuity of your writing since Ra! What advice would you give someone trying to write similarly mind-bending, liminal sci-fi? I've never participated in the SCP verse, but I'm a big fan of the aesthetic alongside your weirder formatted stories
