Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃

If you missed out on The Great Halloween Puzzle & Podcast project, we've enable late pledges so you can now back the project and get your own puzzle when they go into production: www.kickstarter.com/projects/448...

Now that I hear Christmas music playing, it's time to remind everyone about this epic performance of The Little Drummer Boy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5zB...

Perfection

To be honest, that's a pretty good starting word.

If you wrote an SF/F/H story that was published in 2025 (or read a story that you thought was great), tell me about it in this thread! Authors, also send your story to me here: johnjosephadams.com/basff-submis... (Please read the guidelines before submitting.)

Definitely going to check this out!

Election following folks, when will we start to have solid numbers on anything? Like, 8pm? @gregpak.net do you know?

Since I’m not sure how long our spare tire is going to hold out & I think we’re gonna have to deal with getting a new tire soon, just thought I’d share our eBay store again just in case: ebay.us/m/Gxnycd

I voted by mail already and hope everyone else votes too! 🗳️

Thanks to everyone who backed the puzzle, reposted our notes about it, and supported us! It's fully funded and then some. Arden and I are excited we're going to get to make it, and we promise it's going to be AWESOME 🎃🧩
