I stopped adding to this thread because I got frustrated with the concept of threads. Instead I've been occasionally updating the list on my site instead. "Aren't small updates what threads are best at?" Yes. "How will people find it?" I don't know. Like this, I hope. 😔 www.agbouskila.com/lenses

Really delighted that The Incandescent is a Nebula finalist For Best Novel. Congratulations to all the nominees!

Thank you to my wise and wonderful friends for bringing me along for this ride!! I had so much fun digging into this book and I hope that comes through on the episode. Bonus joke: if DWJ was writing today about R. Venables, wizard and game developer, he would definitely be working in Unreal Engine.

It's been too long since I made a guy, so I made a janky little Chrestomanci lion guy. Body: sculpey, armature wire wrapped with ribbon for volume and security, wool roving for the hair. Clothing: old fabric, a little sewing, mostly hot glue.

exactly like that, yeah
