A new #FangOfTriseria chapter is now available; longest one yet. We are switch gears to look at a minor player in the greater narrative, and a mysterious editorial presence makes itself known.

ah-oh … I thought I was able to distinct most AI-generated Videos from real ones … but nope! I failed really hard in this test to identify Videos that were generated by artificial intelligence: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/29/business/ai-video-deepfake-google-veo-3-quiz.html?unlocked_article_code=1.S08.ZBdd.eVExfrrLcZQE&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #AICommunity #freetoread

Well, probably should do a self-promo post since it's been... half a year or so.
Hi, I'm D. Moonfire (https://d.moonfire.us/), I mostly write steampunk and fantasy. 97% of those words are free to read on my website, https://fedran.com/ with the index of stories at https://fedran.com/sources/. No Patreon, no subscriber, no fees (well, I have a Patreon, Librepay, and Ko-Fi, but you get nothing special for them, what you read is what you get). Really, the only payment I crave is to someone say they like it, ask questions about stories, or just let me know I touched their lives.
For a while I was belting out a chapter or story a week and did so for three hundred consecutive weeks (I'm proud of following cadences). I did burn out for a little but I'm getting back into it, but that is why "about" 907,205 words can be found on the site for your enjoyment. All of the stories can be read online, download in EPUB and PDF format. I even have an OPDS feed if you want to add my library to your ebook reader.
Most of my stories are "lightly edited" (I don't ask for money, I can't pay editors), but I do have a couple professionally polished ones on the main website.
For a fantasy world, I didn't want it to be all action or drama, so there are slices of life, forensic mages, people struggling with the trials of just being human with topics ranging from saving one's family from death to dealing with jealousy in an open marriage. There are also spicy stories, which are hopefully all properly tagged.
My stories are also overlapping. The story about a talented swinger being rescued by a middle-aged lesbian who can sharpen knives with a touch bumps against the story about a young violin player trying to avenge a murder which intersects with a story about a young man trying to take a trip across the country in his new fangled car.
If you have a topic you want, I'll be glad to tell you what I have or what might touch those topics. Some of them will get me to write it, but I just like to burble about the joy of world-building.

First day back in the office, and I'm pleased to share our first publication for 2025, which really sets the tone for the work I'll be doing in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child this year:

▶️ For the latest update on Hurricane #Milton @ WaPo from their 47 correspondents contributing to LIVE reports.
"Milton is now a Category 2 hurricane, crossing the Florida peninsula after making landfall along its west-central coast Wednesday night. The storm, possibly the most powerful hurricane to hit the Tampa Bay area in more than a century, is producing a life-threatening ocean surge that could result in 10 to 15 feet of water in some areas and extensive damage. Even before landfall, strong winds brought a spate of unusually strong tornadoes, including one in St. Lucie County that caused multiple fatalities."

CW: Tax scam by the rich
"It is the wealthiest who benefit most. The losses can be used to erase an unlimited amount of investment gains. Someone like Ballmer can easily deploy $100 million in losses to cancel out a $100 million gain from selling some of his vast Microsoft holdings.
It’s a very different story when it comes to wages and other forms of income, of which only $3,000 can be offset."

CW: Tax scam by the rich
"over the past 25 years, investing has undergone a transformation that’s made the law against wash sales toothless...
Asset managers have used these advances to forge loss-harvesting accounts that boast hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. What the law sought to prevent — generating a tax loss without a substantial change in the investment — is now commonplace."
