Reanna: I wish my headmates had the luxury of thinking about their stories without possibly annoying others like I did. But they get to have collaboration and make suggestions. I didn't have that before the phalanx.
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.

Testing psychologist: "Reanna doesn't have a social circle, so she uses [or goes into] fantasy."
Me (Brian): "Fantasy!? Say that to my face, you limp noodle!" (In-headspace)
Me: "I am not a fantasy."
Reanna: "She didn't even know you exist."
Me: "I am still not a fantasy."
The next time I think I'm fake, I'm going to remember I had a negative reaction to being unintentionally called a fantasy.
This is our cat Luna. Luna wants you to buy Carnival, The Murder After, or both. She thinks you and your cats might like them.
Link to Carnival on Amazon (not for kittens!)
Link to The Murder After on Amazon (You could read this to a kitten, but you would need to explain things.)
Terrance (to others): They say a watched pot never boils, but they never said anything about a saucepan.
Reanna: I've never liked making plans, but here we are, planning. SL has an outline of the rest of The Year After, so he can remember what he wanted to write. For our next project, we have a file filled with bookmarks of the silent films we plan to use.
They're not detailed plans, but they're plans.
This is our cat Mia. Mia wants chicken. He might be part Maine Coon. That's all.
Reanna: Sometimes, plural writer culture is being the headmate everyone takes traits from for their characters.
SL: I never said why I tagged dialogue in Terrance's story in sketch format. (Link to the preview for The Murder After if you're confused.) I wrote it in the second person, so the tags make it easier to know who's talking. As you can see, Terrance is never tagged with his name.
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!?
