My friend @kaytiburt.bsky.social is a phenomenal journalist - incredibly engaging and well researched work. This is another insightful piece - go read!!
Elizabeth Minkel@elizabethminkel.bsky.social · 2d agoI also highly recommend @kaytiburt.bsky.social's reporting on the AI in fic situation! We've put it in front of the paywall, so I hope lots more folks give it a read or listen:
I hadn’t expected quite the literal transcription of my ums and ahs, but ya if you buy me a beer at Worldcon his weekend to talk about Critical Role- The Mighty Nein Stories Untold, it’s gonna be a goofy geek out session like this. Thx @templeofgeek.bsky.social ! templeofgeek.com/critical-rol...
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein - Stories Untold Author Pulls Back The Curtain On The Wildmother, Uk'otoa, & Fjord
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein - Stories Untold author talks "playing in the divine space" to create the Wildmother and Uk'otoa's story.

I don’t like to make this about me, but it certainly doesn’t escape me that I’m heading to LA shortly to probably lose a Hugo for a story containing all my love for #DollyParton specifically. I guess always secretly hoped somehow she’d read it. But all my feelings are there.
Lisa Schmeiser@lschmeiser.bsky.social · 3d agoIf you are in your feelings about Dolly Parton AND you love speculative fiction, you should make time for @catvalente.bsky.social's excellent "When He Calls Your Name," in the excellent @uncannymagazine.bsky.social: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/when...
Today also seems like a good day to re-read @catvalente.bsky.social's www.uncannymagazine.com/article/when...

We are receiving queries about opening for novellas. We didn't reach that stretch goal in the Kickstarter, so we aren't opening for novellas this year. Maybe next year! :D

"Getaway" by Nicole Kornher-Stace in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social is one of my favorite #timeloop stories; I love how it packs SO much punch into 5k and takes you on a wild, breathless ride (again and again and again...) www.uncannymagazine.com/article/geta...

Being on a long plane journey is not one of my favorite things, but as seen in my recent posts, having @uncannymagazine.bsky.social on my Kindle via @weightlessbooks.bsky.social made the trip a lot better. Thanks for all the great reading material.
Read on the plane this amazing essay "Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with AI Slop 1969 AD" by @lizbethmyles.bsky.social from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social Just an on the money new way of looking at an adventure from 1969 with today's eyes. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/doct...

Last post: I cannot overstate how much @naomikritzer.bsky.social's "The Year Without Sunshine" is more realistic to how people react to disaster than all the postapocalyptic media with a Big Damn Hero. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...
The Year Without Sunshine - Uncanny Magazine
During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civil disorder or both.
