    🎙 EPISODE 16: Why Should Fiction Writers Use World Anvil and Substack Together?
    2026/09/10

    Nothing About This Is Safe is the show where we strip the varnish off the writing world. This month Jaime sits down with Deleyna Marr to talk about the two platforms he actually runs his business on, and why he no longer pays for the pile of tools he used to.

    Inside this episode:

    Why Jaime calls Substack his "flagship" and World Anvil his "candy store," and what that split actually does for a reader

    How World Anvil went from a gaming-adjacent curiosity to the place Jaime's original series still lives, read hundreds of thousands of times

    Why "the AI librarian" is quietly replacing the search bar, and what that means for how you should be building your world online

    Deleyna's answer for the writer standing in the doorway of World Anvil, overwhelmed before they've written a word

    Guest: Deleyna Marr

    🎙 EPISODE 15: How Do You Make a Living as a Fiction Writer Without a Bestseller?
    2026/08/06

    Every writer is quietly running a race nobody entered them in, watching someone else's numbers and feeling behind. Jaime Buckley and author Kummer Wolfe (who writes as C.B. Ash) sit down over the wreckage of a bad tech day and take that race apart.

    Two friends who both came over from World Anvil to Substack talk about the thing almost no one says out loud: you are not competing with other writers, and the moment you believe you are, it starts costing you. Jaime tells the story of the month he wrote 368,000 words trying to beat a leaderboard, made himself sick for two weeks, and then found out who he was actually "losing" to. Then they get to the part that pays the bills ... the Trickle Strategy, and why one small, steady flow of sales is worth more than one big break you keep waiting for.

    Inside this episode:

    - The 368,000-word mistake, and the man on the leaderboard who was not even in the race

    - Why comparison is a losing game for everybody, including the person "winning"

    - The Trickle Strategy: one trickle becomes many, and many become a flood

    - Why readers asking AI for book recommendations is the free advantage most writers are sleeping on

    Nothing about this is safe, but it's worth it.

    🎙 EPISODE 14 – SPECIAL: Does Substack's AI Detector Feed Your Writing Into an AI?
    2026/07/25
    ⚠️ Heads up on the audio. This one was unplanned and the sound equipment was garbage. There is an echo on my voice. Probably don't listen with earbuds. I could have waited a week and made it pretty... but this conversation is happening right now, and pretty is not the point. Thank you to Terry Shepherd for jumping to my rescue and improving the recording even more…Sign up at JaimeBuckley.com and stop guessing...get the real answers working authors actually use to get found, get paid, and get better.I had a meltdown.Substack rolled out AI detection, and I went and read the comment sections.Big mistake, I know.Somebody in there was asking for a button so they could destroy every writer using AI. ?????!I have been doing this since 1990. Everything I have built, I built without AI. And the first year I finally have a tool that lets me get the stories out of my head faster than my body is failing...somebody tears the front door off my house and tells everyone walking by to come check whether they approve of what I’m doing.What…the…hell.So I called two friends and hit record.Episode OverviewThis is not a defense. I’m done being defensive about this, and you should be too.Alicia McCalla⭐️ is a librarian by training and an author by trade, and she says the quiet thing first: detection is not information literacy. Information literacy asks who wrote this, where did it come from, is this person reputable, how did they work. Detection asks one question, badly, and calls it a verdict. She fed her own hand-written post into Pangram and it came back 100% AI.Deleyna Marr, author and publisher, drops the line the whole conversation turns on. When you paste somebody’s post into a detector, you are feeding that person’s content into an AI. That is what the tool is. So the anti-AI crusade has been handed a machine that runs on exactly what it claims to be protecting...and the more zealous you are, the more you feed it.And here is the second half of it, the part that should stop you cold: we already want to be scanned. We want the AI librarian to find us and recommend us. Nobody in this conversation is anti-machine. We are just refusing to pretend the reins are not in our hands.Then it opens up: The tools that promise to make you “sound human” by inserting errors into work you spent twenty years learning to make clean. The writer who spent $40,000 on marketing. The kid who is brilliant and dyslexic and forbidden the one tool that would let him be read. The student with no hands who is the sharpest person in the room. Alicia’s granddaddy’s granddaddy, who would not get in the motor car.This Episode Answers* Does running someone’s post through an AI detector actually feed their writing into an AI?* Are AI detectors like Pangram reliable enough to accuse a writer with?* What should a platform ask about AI instead of “human or machine?”* How do I write an honest AI disclosure without apologizing for my own work?* Is using AI as an author a shortcut, or is it a leveler for people without money, time, or working hands?Highlights* The irony at the center: to check whether a writer used AI, you must hand that writer’s work to an AI. Deleyna named it and the room went quiet.* Alicia’s 100% AI score on a post she sat down and wrote herself, by hand, from her own questions.* The “sound more human” industry: paste your clean prose in, get broken sentences back, and pass the test. You are being sold the right to write worse.* Detection versus literacy. The librarian’s list of questions nobody at any platform is asking.* The unsafe turn: the readers may not care at all. Alicia knows of three studies where audiences preferred the AI-assisted work... and nobody asked the readers before this rolled out either.* The leveler. $40,000 marketing budgets, publicists, editors, cover designers. Some writers have that. The rest of us have a tool.* Jaime’s line in the sand: everything on Life of Fiction and everything on jaimebuckley.com is his. All of it. The world, the words, the twenty years of notes and thousands of drawings it is trained on and nothing else. Scan away.* Why he is not defending anymore. “I’m not going to be defensive. I want to be excited... because I am excited.”Questions for the TableI did not write articles for this one. I wrote questions.And I want to be straight with you about what these are. These are not gotchas. I did not build them to corner the people who disagree with me, because I have watched that happen for two days now. It has not made a single person think... it has only made people dig.So I tried to write questions that are worth sitting with no matter which side of this you are on. * If you are all in on AI, some of these should make you uncomfortable. * If you will never touch it, some of these should too. If they only sting one direction, I wrote them wrong, and you should tell me so.Take one to a friend. Take one to your writing group. Take one to ...
