@cstross in my current notes she basically sets up a trust, almost entirely not handled by her in an effort to distance her and her family's reputation from the money.

But investing in ethical businesses is also a possibly.

The broad concept in the long run is a LGBT+ MacKenzie Scott with a lot more self loathing

When she gets to the "I've cashed out and im trying to give away all my money" the conflict in the story drastically goes down

@cstross yeah. To be honest my initial idea was about her being a public trans persona and societal judgement but tbh once I got into it. It'd be about the business side of things. But she also wants to either

Change the company
Or
leave with as much of her money as possible to do some good with it.

I'm worried the former might be a bit of a crap attempt at the first iron man film

@cstross
The rough ideas of conflict so far
-his true reason behind leaving the money. Which may be to mess with a rival with eyes on the company
-The morally abhorrent nature of the money in the eyes of the protagonist
-changing the company from the inside vs divesting
-the protag being tainted by the money by proxy in the eyes of their mostly left wing friends
-the moral responsibility to do something visiting in ignorant luxury

Is the idea "Trans person gets left several billion pounds by her estranged defence contractor owning father " a good idea for a book?

Ive got an idea in my head about a big global AI or similar story in the vein of Asimov's "The Life and Times of Multivac" or his robot stories but its an awful 2025 era LLM AI but I cant quite iron out the concept

Im envious of visual artists who just go "no bigger project, just felt like drawing this cool character idea" or 'here's a one off bit of fan art'

Is there such a thing with writing?

Vignettes I guess but something written is less... appealing for consumption on social media.

@babe @stavvers it was 69-66. Then 69-70 which we were all disappointed at. But the referees re assessed and took a point off. And the crowd went wild

Fao @stavvers @babe

Nice times at roller derby today

no thoughts, only scritches

Silly idea in my head for a story that is basically. "What if a billionaire left their estranged trans kid all their money

As an exploration of what if a queer person had all that money and also what if someone who hated the idea of billionaires found themselves as one

Wrote 350 words of 0815 story 2 "Meat Malfunction" today (well yesterday now)

The above FAO @Alison

It was Raturday yesterday and 31% so Mick hid in his tube and *checks notes* melted

@Alison Mick (this guy) and Phil (the cream dude with the red eyes) have such different personalities. Both friendly but Mick likes cuddles more and Phil has to investigate everything

Brain is not braining at the mo so writing more of a Fallout Fanfic that is set between 3 and 4 and covers the rise of elder Maxson.

Ever play "Borderlands the Pre-Sequel" Yeah its that but for Fallout.

If I put it on AO3, would folks be interested? Its 100% more queer and 3 and at >40% than 4

Aaaaaaa

@Alison thanks Alison. I've been giving Phil and Mick extra hugs. I'm glad Five waa able to make friends with them after he lost his brother.

We've said goodbye to Number Five.
He was the best grumpy potato

Just a heads up. Five, our older rat isn't doing too well. He's in some pain and quite weak. Taking him to the vets later.
