Hugos are coming up! Reading for the Hugoooos? @effies.bsky.social and I were on @storyhour.bsky.social with our nominated stories! Effie's is about disability, accessibility, and how ableist the world can be. Mine is about radical self-love and who we allow to shape who we are.

There's still a little over a week to read and vote! If you haven't already, I'd love it if you read my ragey satire, "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything", which has been nominated for Best Short Story! www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... bsky.app/profile/lawo...

AU where Harosen is the ferryman of the dead on Lake Superior instead of Lake Michigan. He doesn’t wait for the dead to come to him. You see him slinking out of the dark, flicking a burning cigarette, whistling “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

Lake Superior doesn't give up it's dead because it's bottomless. No one knows how deep it is. When President Clinton asked James Cameron to explore to find the bottom he famously said, "Fuck no."
