PictCon, Perth's SF and Fantasy micro-con returns on Saturday 17th October. Join Guest of Honour and GSFWC star Neil Williamson, as well as E.M. Faulds and Ruth EJ Booth for a day of games, workshops, panels and more! pictcon.com @pictcon.bsky.social Here's what we'll be up to:

An ad server with a game attached is how I think of them. I sometimes play just to have something to do with my hands. But I'll often shut the app then restart rather than watch the bajillion ads.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

For once I'd like to see a historical film be brave enough to portray tapestry -accurate outfits for 1066, and put actors in knee-length onesies, goth girl long socks and tiny pointy hats with snoods, like god intended.

"Hey is that arrow getting bigger?" - Harold Godwinson, 960 years ago today

Haverin, our GSFWC anthology, has escaped from its carefully constructed shonky cardboard box and is currently rampaging through my front room, threatening to inconvenience the cat. Only if you give us all the money by buying a copy can we prevent this unforeseen circumstance from happening again.

Been thinking about how it would be if we promoted our book in the same way as recent articles about AI. This book has escaped containment, it has gone rogue, only matter of time before it kills us all. The only way to stop it is if you buy a copy!

Sorry for all the reposts, fantasycon took a significant chunk out of my budget for the month.

Is 26th of October good for you? This stuff is good for any length of story, with visual methods that make ND brains sing happy songs... And we'll be outlining a story TOGETHER, LIVE... 😱 Please do tell your ADHD mates!

SORRY I AUTISMED TOO HARD AT YOUR GENTLY HUMOROUS POST

FOR REAL like...at what point do people start saying "hmmm you just uploaded a work to a third party server without my authorization"

Okay, who wants a free ebook? I've made my short story collection The Hammersmyth Tales a newsletter exclusive, but I need to make sure the download link doesn't expire after one use (I don't really know how Itch works, lol).

Morning. I love this time of year. Dawn over #scruffyGarden

Now that the sparkly dust has settled in Fantasycon 2026, if you caught the bug in Glasgow and fancy a wee bit more - or if you couldn't make it and have had a raging FOMO for the ages all weekend - you might like to consider @pictcon.bsky.social! It takes place in Perth next Saturday 17th.
