From 6-8 pm EST (10-12 pm UTC) the classiest pantsless broadcast around will be making lit fun for nerds and norms alike. Join us tonight with special guest, @Ezzy, who will be giving us the lowdown on his Steemit journey: from noob to one of the most popular and consistent producers of fiction on the platform in just over one year. Check out his latest series, Hellbent, which opened with the irresistibly gritty line:

No more excuses left, except the one to rip off that asshole's face and stretch it clean across the ball of my fist, eyeholes held in place by two fingers. I ain’t the same man I was yesterday.

This is an author who is proving week by week that creativity and consistency (and maybe a little grit) can and will be rewarded in a system that can often feel weighted in favor of shit-posts. So be in the #mspwaves-audience to hear his story. Do I sound excited that he’s joining us? I am.

Then the Fictioneers will discuss this week’s Conflict Prompt Writing Contest: Man versus Self, which includes Woman versus Self, Gender-Neutral versus Self, and whatever you wanna describe a human character as versus self, so please don’t DM me on Discord asking if Fa’afafine versus Self counts. It does, but don’t expect me to list 250+ genders. I got shit to do.

As our coffee-talk topic, we’ll be touching on self-insertion (hehe... touching...self...insertion...have I mentioned the innuendos?) in writing. Is it acceptable? Expected? Unavoidable? How does the degree of self-insertion affect our ability to accept critique? What do you do when you spew some horrific shit onto the page and later wonder Who the hell wrote this?

Hint: It depends on whether you also find a dead body at your feet

So take a chance on us, Join @anarcho-andrei, @rhondak, and me, tonight along with special guest, @ezzy and a significant representation of the Fiction Workshop Posse, including a bunch of awesome people you’ll just love. Trust me. Join us HERE from 6-8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (10-12 p.m. UTC.)

Whatever we do, we will do it well.

And pantsless.
