Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you donβt want to purchase it).
Look, Space & Rocket Center, I love you. But yesterday was March 1, not April 1, and you cannot possibly have been serious about these.

Alright! The self published Litrpg Bakeoff has moved to the finals! 6 books remain in contention! #splbo #litrpg
I'll do a super post this week with links where you can purchase all of the entrants. I'm super happy to have this year start off strong. We've got six finalists, two of which I have already read so our judges have their work cut out for them!
The Self Published Litrpg Bakeoff is moving along! Now that February is upon us we have counted all of the entries and we are moving directly to the finals! (This is the first year so not entirely unexpected!) Judges are going to get all of the entries this week to begin reading through.
Reminder! Self Published Litrpg Bake Off is still accepting submissions till the 30th! See my other post! We'll close it if there's too many entrants but otherwise we are going to go with what we have. It's the inaugural year and Self Published Fantasy blog off was open and shut within 24 hours.
Got a fun surprise when I went on Longwinded One's podcast last week!

βCanβt believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.β
In truthβa Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway stationβis the most NYC thing imaginable.
a short comic showing a hand petting a dog. the hand ask "are you a good boy?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask again "are you a good girl?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask, in a gender-nuetral way, "are you a good person?" the dog looks shocked. next panel shows the dog posing as "The Thinker" statue, asking itself "Am I a good person?"

Fourth! I've gotten together a team of judges and expect an announcement about the self published litrpg bake off very shortly. We'll go live the day after the self published fantasy bake off and we're taking less than 300 entries.
Third! The Immersive Quill awards, recognizing authors and others within the progression fantasy niche are being pushed back a week! I'll make another announcement but the board is discussing options as the main discord server hosting it closed three weeks ago.
Second! My event to lift up webfiction authors, launchapalooza (second edition) is in full swing. A group of us are going to drop fictions on June 6th, 2026, just like we did in December!
