The fundraiser will drop along with an audio announcement on December 1. Mark your calendars and follow @hinaypod!

Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”, is a supernatural horror audio drama about Filipina immigrant Mari Datuin, whose babaylan (shaman) family background accidentally gets her involved in stopping dangerous supernatural events in Toronto — alongside two supernatural detectives, her 6’2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor, and a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers.

Season 1 of Hi Nay follows their mission to stop the Elders, a group of early 1900s rich immortal occultists, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci — especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody is able to remember his face or name.

Now on the Rusty Quill Network!

Inspired by @fyeahaudiodrama's do you love the color of the audio drama?, I have finally reorganised the contents my podcatcher:

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

Update on the rating bomb for Dead West Podcast

Hey all, so this is going to be my final rant/note/update on this whole rating bombing situation. The situation is still happening with more negative reviews coming in, even today. Please, note, I am in no way mad or upset about this or the results of it, a little hurt sure but I will carry on. I am just writing this as a living record and update for those who have tried helping me out in all of this. This is the work and result of someone(s) who are probably feeling hurt, estranged, and angry at people other than myself, I am just the current target or a fresh reminder of the things they have dealt with directly or otherwise.

I have dealt with cyber-bullying before so this is nothing new. I would be lying if I said it didn't suck and it didn't hurt but at the same time they are clearly hurting so much more that they are going to such lengths. So, I wish them peace and I hope one day they are willing to engage in a good faith conversation about a way forward that uplifts fellow creators and not tears them down. At the end of the day, I have my art and even if it comes down to a 1-star average with the only listener being my best friend then so be it. I will still tell my silly little ghost stories. Thanks for reading! Everything in the attached doc is just for the record and to help me process the last bits of this. Now onto more ghost stories!!!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Y3QbkwQBDS7oA_x3G-i4TSyl6LrcCsG1cVpam9wUOQ/edit?usp=sharing
