    #writersCoffeeClub 4 Nov 'What's the funniest thing you've ever written?'The dinner party in "The Nightmare Stacks". Alex, a CS nerd (turned vampire) is visiting his very conventional middle-class parents: he takes his new girlfriend Cassie (an elven spy who is helping to pave the way for an invasion) on the back of his borrowed ... conveyance.

    Ooh I thought of another aspect of letters within fiction. A letter or any other text message is unlike dialog in that it persists to be re-read later, maybe not by the intended recipient, and can be loaded with hidden meanings that you wouldn't expect someone to pick up on or remember accurately if they heard the same words spoken.I used this twice in The Silk Mind, in a letter to the Badger Survey from Doctor Grey, and rather pointed diplomatic letters between him and Celandine.

    #WritersCoffeeClub Sep 17: Should modern writers worry about proving their work is not generated by an LLM?Yes.I am published by Tor and Orbit currently (and have been published by other major Big Five imprints in the past).EVERY SINGLE ONE of my book contracts contains a warranty clause to the effect that it is entirely my own original work, except for cited and referenced quotations (agreed by the publisher).Use of an LLM would put me in breach of contract and liable for damages.

    #WritersCoffeeClub day 17: Should modern writers worry about proving their work is not generated by an LLM?I think they should only worry about it to the extent that they'd previously have worried about proving that their work wasn't plagiarized. Like, if seriously challenged (usually by one's publisher, not by some rando), it's good to be able to produce prior drafts or other artifacts of creation.But that's about all. 1/6
