Well, I had an embarrassment of riches to choose from for the #RepostYourArt theme of #critter since that's 90% of what I draw. Critter to me implies cuteness and I think this person is very cute!

Just to say: TTL is run by human volunteers. What we do is proudly inefficient, because what we do is impossible. It makes no sense! We do it because we can, just about, put out excellent science fiction and fantasy twice a year. We can promote writers and writing we think valuable.

Hey friends! Tomorrow there's a big Lesbian Visibility Week bundle kicking off on Itch, and Magica Riot and Magica Riot: Full Bloom are part of the party! There are 94 works by incredible creators in here, and you can get 'em all for $40! itch.io/b/3635/lesbi...

#QueerWriters Check-in: As was perhaps predictable, going from my winter routine of "sometimes I do yoga! 🙂" to spending several days this week hauling around plants and dirt in the sun was pretty exhausting and my body is ow. Got some slush reading done and that was about it. 😅

This is a dance-off! If you see this, repost a dance. 🌹

#PretendPanel 4/18: If I explore war at all in my writing, it's typically the aftermath or prevention of it. I dabbled more when I was younger because it seemed inherent to SFF genres, but I understand too much about the horror of it now to take it lightly, and not enough about it to do it justice.

#PretendPanel 4/17 (catch-up) Wars do feature in many of the books I've read, but mostly as background, context, or a looming threat. I actively avoid books that are described as "military SFF" and only tackle epic fantasy that offers a unique perspective or particularly intriguing premise.

Today's a good day to buy everything I've ever written. Already got em? Buy em for friends! Not enough friends? Book-giving is an excellent ice breaker. Nothing but enemies? Confound them with literature. Always confound them with literature.
