Reanna: There Is Nothing More Wholesome Than Introducing Headmates To Things.
Reanna: There is nothing more wholesome than introducing headmates to things.
I introduced SL to Friends two years ago. When he heard Phoebe say for the first time "I can't believe you're gonna ask Monica to marry you," he gasped. And it wasn't in the headspace; it was external.
I can't wait to go to New Mexico with my grandparents again. Jackie, SL, E.A., Terrance, Maria, and Chibz have never been there before. (F.M. vanished the last time we went in 2019 and only remembers the ride back. We went twice, so he doesn't know if he was actually there or not.) I think they would enjoy the trip, especially Jackie. She likes adventures.

Reanna: The Plural Positivity Word Conference's admission changed, so we won't be able to go. The organizers said the change was caused by Airmeet changing its contract. General admission is $50, and scholarships seem to only be available to members of The Plural Association online community. We relied on the scholarships for free admission.
This sucks because we were looking forward to bringing Terrance. Plus, we went almost every year. Going to the Plural Positivity World Conference made us feel like we were part of the community. Tumblr and Dreamwidth can never substitute that.
If you can, please donate to The Plural Association. Maybe that might help the organizers give scholarships more freely next year.

Reanna: What do writers have to do to get some attention around here!? We'd like people to buy our books and give them a chance.
Do we need to parade our minority status?
We're bigender!
We're Mexicain-American!
We're plural!
Do we need to share our discourse opinions?
Like we're gonna do that.
We don't want discourse.
That's not why we're here.
In our pinned post, we have a link to a master post listing the books we self-published. But no one seems interested in them. What are we doing wrong!?
Reanna: I wonder if Le Prince and Disney will be our first novel. So far, our stories have been shorter.
Carnival is a novella, and so was Nightingale. (I pulled that one from publication.) The Murder After is a chapbook, and The Year After seems to be going in a similar direction. (At least people read romance novellas.)
Now, for Le Prince and Disney, we have the dark ride's sections planned: Three Precursors and the First Film, Animals, Animation, Trick Films, and Phantom Rides. That's five chapters. And they have a few films in them. There will also be five chapters that Terrance categorized as being outside the ride. So, that's ten chapters in all.
After the story, we'll list the films used. That might take a few pages. What if all these pages come together and make a novel?
Reanna: We should make an academic discipline analyzing the plurality of media and plurality in media. We should call it Plural Theory.
SL: Hey, why don't I publish The Development Before as a book instead after I finish Terrance's story? It'll be in order, and people might buy it. I didn't think about that. People love looking behind the scenes!
SL: Does anyone else have preemptive rants for works you haven't shared yet? I keep doing that for The Murder After, which is going to be published on 8 October. From the very beginning, I would get really mad over the idea of readers wondering why the ending isn't considered a good one.

Title: Carnival Byline: Reanna Field
This is the new front cover for Carnival. It's the red curtain but changed to look like a frame that puts the title and byline in the focal point.
It was supposed to have a picture of Staride, and the curtain was supposed to look like it was rising. But it looked cooler after we used the smudge feature to make the cover look darker. It makes the frame look like a diamond.
Carnival is out now, so you can buy it on Amazon. (Link to its page. Note: the back of the hardcover does not have a blurb.)
Mint Phalanx: People still waiting in line to vote, please stay. Polling stations cannot turn you away if you do.
People who already voted, be patient. We may not know until Thursday or longer.
We're all stressed out, so tomorrow, F.M. will go outside and hop in the snow after classes. (He's been wanting to do this for awhile now. ) You& should find a way to reduce stress too, so you can feel better during and after this Election Day.
SL: I made a side blog to share my development of The Murder After and eventually The Year After. It's like looking behind the scenes, and I hope it will pique readers' interest. The blog is called development-before. (Now deleted.)
