It’s Hugo Nominating time again 👀👀👀

Just unsubscribed from an informative newsletter by a doctor in a field I take deep interest in. Every mail-out was written in AI Slopvoice. I know that’s a thing I needn’t care about if the information is solid; I assume he’s just insecure about his writing style. But fucking heck. Unbearable

Even just collector's sets would be nice. I'd love a full box set of the ten @jlukeroberts.bsky.social John-Luke-A-Palooza shows. Or the @alicefraser.bsky.social trilogy. Even just not being able to physically buy something as influential and important as Hannah Gadsby's Nanette seems quite silly.

Love supporting booksellers. If you’re one, always feel free to ask me for help with your things.

Valentine’s Day is an important and profound time to imagine how much chaos an armed boy toddler with wings would cause, and be grateful that he’s not real.

Very many thanks to @alicefraser.bsky.social for taking time to support us. Pages of Passion is our Romance & Romantasy book club and we have a promotional event on Saturday, Valentine's Day, 3 - 5pm. Come visit to find out more! Follow Alice, listen to @realmsunknown.bsky.social #booksky 1/2

Accurate. @alicefraser.bsky.social is the Queen of making us lolsob. And if all that crying dries you out, try... Half a glass of water.

I used to think that @alicefraser.bsky.social ‘s podcast bit to intro her ads section, “because you can’t be what you can’t buy,” was just a joke like any other, but each time I hear it it’s more devastatingly true analysis of our *gestures* situation

Hallo, if anyone’s still over on Instagram would you mind following me there at @aliterative as I’m trying to impress someone. NO WORRIES IF NOT

People making money from undercutting the market with AI slop must realise that they’re just paving the way for faster cheaper slop that will eat their lunch right? Or is it just ride the good times, deal with the fallout later thinking?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from narrating romance books in the past couple years, it’s that romance fans are loyal, particular, and far smarter than anyone thinks. This is going to feel like they’re being condescended to, because it is. I don’t think they’ll take it well! And they shouldn’t!

Interesting times earlier in the week. Which of these two was best?* Messaging with @alicefraser.bsky.social about books, romantic fiction and my bookshop? Or this arriving from @thebugle.bsky.social. "Is that a piece of @zaltzcricket.bsky.social nostril?" * It was the first one.

They so rarely ask WHY the time is gone, only where it went. Have you CONSIDERED that that it’s just a bit overwhelmed by everything trying to happen in it all at once?!

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

Back when publishers first started to pass the burden of book promo to authors, Twitter was still a flourishing part of the socmed ecosystem - a cornerstone of Web 2.0. Authors spent years - over a decade, in some cases - building up followings, only to lose them when Musk nuked the site from orbit.

I just encountered an Instagram ad that said “POV when you finally find a chair that meets all your sitting needs.”

Every time I repost this, another person tells me they’ve enjoyed it so much that it’s prompted them to order the book, and I make one more minuscule step to recuperating the vast amount of earnings my ex-publisher took from me.

Bros who keep pointing to things and saying “this will change everything! Everything!”, feels like maybe they just need to do a spring clean or get a new hat.

This week’s @realmsunknown.bsky.social subgenre deep dive is Urban Fantasy with the glorious @patricklenton.bsky.social. Tell me your favourite Urban Fantasies! Books! TV! MOvies! games! Comics! Anime! recommend away!

Today I’m remembering the time my twin brother and I hit the jackpot buying a chocolate paddle-pop from the van-cafe at the park and for some reason the ice cream factory had borked the randomisation of the prize-sticks and every stick won us a free paddle-pop

Endorse. Planet's funniest person is also an amazing writer

Some real banger posts up over on my Patreon free to access and subscribe to is all I’m saying.

I have just finished The Last Post from end to end and wanted to say thank you to the Alices from both dimensions and all of the other not Alices for a superb piece of work. I hope this is not a stupid letter 😬 and of course as is always said Thank You Christopher. Onto The Gargle ep.1

I've never talked about my body on stage, and it got me into a bit of trouble. An extract from TWIST, which will be up on my youtube soon. Go subscribe over there. http://www.youtube.com/@alicerfraser #AliceFraser #writingCommunity #ComedyWriting #writersretreat

Sure, sex is great, but have you ever cracked open a new notebook and written something on the first page with a really nice pen?

I just noticed that I’m now within a couple of thousand peoplesworth of the number of followers I used to have on X, before it was restructured towards the neg-vibed pay-to-play town-square-full-of-angry-pervert-bees that it evolved into. I don’t have any insights about this fact but there you go.

I often nerd out about how making places where creative people can thrive is one of my favourite ongoing projects. So it's a warm and lovely feeling to get such a positive testimonial about the whole ecosystem of things I run from J, who attended the New Years Reboot. #AliceFraser #writersretreat

Oh look what the postman brought! @alicefraser.bsky.social

Righto Realms-ers! @realmsunknown.bsky.social deep dive for this week is Doctors! Whether it’s building a bone temple, saving the world or representing Man’s Hubris, tell me your favourite sci fi and fantasy Doctors.

As I get old, I’ve come to see the importance of directly telling people whose creative work means a lot to me, and I’m trying to make a habit of it. I had intended to write you an old fashioned fan letter (well, email) for some time, but never seem to get around to it. So this is that, I guess

I assume most people following me are already aware of Alice Fraser, but just in case: when I say she’s one of my favourite comedians, that’s underplaying how big a fan I am. She’s genuinely one of the biggest influences on the way my outlook on life has evolved over the last decade or so.

HEY @thebugle.bsky.social . I ordered a mug and Alice's book t'other week (since arrived). Both are SEXY and GORGEOUS. Yesterday, Evri (spit) delivered an unexpected second copy. Have you had some glitches? I'll drop @alicefraser.bsky.social a wedge of dosh via Patreon so she's not out of pocket. XX
