R.B. Lemberg. Yes, still in Kansas@rblemberg.bsky.social · last mo.

Needing to prove that I'm not AI to editors after AI stole ALL of my published work, digested it, and can spit garbage stylized with birds and tapestries a la Lemberg: 🤮 Editors needing to decipher my fountain pen chicken scratch intertwined with other weird scribblings I don't want to share: ⛔

Uncanny has done so much to support my writing, and I'm truly honored to have had multiple stories published there. Please consider helping them fund for another year!! 💖

I must also retract my belief that Mrs Bennet should have a gun, a regrettable misreading of her character. I do, however, think it would be very funny if we gave Lydia a gun.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHORT STORIES EVER!!! Seriously, go read it. It's so much fun - and the way it's written, driving hard and fast to the end zone, is perfect.

New Reprint! "White Lines on a Green Field" by Catherynne M. Valente! buff.ly/ZvNJIYz

I forgot how much work coordinating querying is. 😬 No wonder I felt like it was a full time job last time. #amquerying

Meanwhile, outside the dollhouse: Brian Jacques: [puts up a little banner reading "All Cats Welcome!"] A little field mouse: [whispers into Brian Jacques' ear] Brian Jacques: "Oh. That's what catboys are. Well, the point still stands."

the end of the lion the witch and the wardrobe + the end of peter pan and wendy + a smidge of frieren = my story 🖼️ might be one of my favorite things I've ever written 🥹 if you like it, please share or tell a friend 🤩

this is the most Queer As In FUCK YOU story I've ever read in a mainstream magazine I'd describe it to you, but that would violate bsky's terms and conditions, so you should just go read it instead

Shelley: i swear to fuckin hell Shelley: when i get my hands on that fuckin AI clone Shelley: there is gonna be so much stabbing Shelley: you won't even believe how much stabbing there's gonna be Harris: oh i believe it

Fuck AI. You do it yourself over and over until it feels real. That's the whole point

And thus the work proceeds

At least I'm not alone?
