Contract's signed! I'm excited to share that I'll have a new story coming out soon in @castofwonders.org. It'll be my second-ever published story (at "third-ever" and onwards this probably stops being a significant distinction). It's also a spooky one, on account of the oncoming season

clarkesworldmagazine.com/ha_04_25/ Just listened to this great story by @thomasha.bsky.social. I love a good stories-within-a-story story any day, and this one really uses that structure to great thematic effect. Would recommend (and am)

In the Jonas Brothers’ hit single “Year 3000,” which takes place in the year 3,000, we learn that Nick Jonas’s “great, great, great granddaughter is doing fine.” This means that she’s been alive for centuries longer than a normal human lifespan. I think she’s no longer fully human. Something’s wrong

Thanks to Ephiny for the recommendation! I also loved the descriptions/selling points of all the stories in this video, and now my to-read list is a bit longer:)

Really happy that my debut novelette “The Best Version of Yourself” (@clarkesworldmagazine.com) made the Locus 2024 Recommended Reading List, alongside many other stories that I love:) locusmag.com/2025/02/2024...

Maybe I’ve been too absorbed lately in the weeds of think-pieces and comments dismissing out-of-hand the idea that computer systems could in principle have anything close to mental states, but this preprint feels like a breath of fresh air. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in this sort of thing

Another reminder to consider “The Best Version of Yourself” for this poll :)

If any one of my followers liked "The Best Version of Yourself" enough to nominate it for this poll, I would appreciate it a lot. Also there's many other good stories to vote for, but I'm keeping my ballot a secret so as to not influence anyone beyond that

Welcome to my first Official Eligibility Post: I have one awards-eligible story this year (and also ever). I would be honored if you were to consider “The Best Version of Yourself” published in @clarkesworld for your ballots. It is a nice story full of brain clarkesworldmagazine.com/collier_07_24/

Everyone hates wet socks, but if you step a preexisting wet foot onto a cloth, it doesn’t feel as bad — even though it’s the same sensation. The real loss comes because the sock gives an expectation of safety, which is then shattered. In this essay, I will

Really happy and honored to see”The Best Version of Yourself” on this list

Current fiction length categories are fine, but they don’t go far enough. Here’s my proposed changes: 2k-8k wrds: Short Story -> Novelita 8k-18k: Novelette 18k-50k: Novella 50k-150k: Novel 150k-500k: Novelaga 500k-5m: Novelungous 5m-50m: Novelosaurus 50m+: Kilonovel, Meganovel, Giganovel, etc.

I submit that Bluesky’s booktok be booksky

I made this account a week ago, and figured it's about time I actually posted something. I'm an author with one (so far) published work, in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a scifi dystopia exploring themes of self-improvement and neurodivergence. Read it here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/collier_07_24/
