The Current Collected Works :)

“Satia Te Sanguine”, in which a tourist visiting Rome meets a vampire and gets a good story about History and absolutely no answers.

”Versions of the Sun”, in which a woman who might be the prophesied savior founds a city.

“When I See the Skylark Rise”, in which a spaceship captain makes a choice that will, apparently, doom her crew to death.

“Learning Tiluhan in the Fourteenth Century”, a story about whether pure academia is enough; about a dying woman and a dying language, and, maybe, an attempt at human connection.

In “Lead But to the Grave,”a deified empress wrestles with her new divinity, and with what comes after divinity fades.

someone on one of the reddit crafting subs had the wildest take, which was that twisted ribbing was a crutch for people who didn't want to get good at 1x1 ribbing & like. brah i wish twisted rib were easier than regular ribbing. it looks so good and i hate doing it so much.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

#i need it everywhere tbh.

There is a quality of books (or movies or shows) that I can best describe as “stickiness,” which is separate from being good or even enjoyable: a sticky book is one I just keep thinking about. Sometimes it’s because a book is very good (e.g. The Locked Tomb), and sometimes it’s because a book is very bad (e.g. ACOTAR), but there are also very good and very bad books that are slippery, such that when I’m done reading them they slip from my thoughts like water from a hydrophobic surface.

the character as he first shows up in the text: a flintlock pistol in each hand, holding two pirates at gunpoint

#he was kind of always a pirate #just not necessarily a cool one #the writing process is going well
