Also, I have a bunch of narrative updates and fun announcements to post about this week but I am also “delivering” two complete manuscripts by Friday AND working with Mike to get the Neithernor RPG handbook ready to deliver next Friday. I appreciate your patience (and can’t wait to reveal all the cool new stuff on the forum!)

814 C and 2104 CP both speak to me.

Ah but the 2097 has that middle ground, that feel-good homey purple.

I have to say that for me 814C is closest. 2097C seems too on the blue side, while 2104CP seems too grey.

When I looked at my phone, the 2097C looked a little too blue…no that I’m at a computer, it looks less blue. So I’m changing my answer to 2097C as first choice with 814C as a second.

Forum question: I “unpinned” some topics earlier in my forum view and now I’m panicking maybe somehow it unpinned for more than just me. Can I break the forum like that?

I think CJ unpinned them earlier, too, for the forum in general (if they were two of the TBS ones).

Because of categories like the Community Journals, I’m pinning important narrative topics at the top of Latest so that they’re easy to access no matter what. It’s a global pin, so you can only unpin it in your view.

Dual-Perspective Audiobook Poll
This is for audiobook fans!
If/when you are listening to an audiobook that has multiple perspectives, would you enjoy listening to two different (but complimentary) voices, or one?
For example, imagine there are two protagonists in a book, one male-identifying and one female-identifying. Would you want the same voice reading both in their best approximation of those characters, or would you be comfortable with two (very talented) voice actors reading those respective chapters/characters?
Asking for a friend.

Unless you can get J.R. Moorland to do it again, because he was really good at switching voices for Monarch Papers.

J.R. is already on board for Ben’s chapters!
I don’t want to sway the poll, but my feeling is that, while J.R. is incredible, the separation of the Ben and Alistair chapters is the perfect opportunity to have Alistair, who is bi-racial, be read and enriched by a voice artist who is also a person of color.

The Martin candle is definitely my favorite. I’m usually a fan of more nature-oriented scents, but this one creates the perfect atmosphere for working at my desk. It really makes my room feel like a study.
