Got the good kind of message for a short story of mine. The 'you can only hint but not tell anyone what happened yet' kinda message.
More news soon! 😁

Ik wil wat ISBN's voor mijn boeken kopen. Het is een beetje een wirwar aan aanbieders online. Iemand tips?

A photo by Thomas Fore (free to use via Unsplash)
It's a bright blue sky with a green hot air ballon in front of it. It's very green, and in black has a mouth, nose and eyes drawn on it of the stereotypical Alien head.
My first story got accepted! 🖤
It's a drabble, I'll link it here once it is published!

And one more epic shot of the hoverbike trooper in the large, majestic hallway of the library. Their pose seems provocative, playful, looking over their right shoulder. In the background stalls carrying books and art and such. All under a gorgeous rounded roof with a floor of white and black towels.

The two board members of the Harland Award, giving speeches at the award ceremony.
A man dressed in black, very chique, and a woman wearing a colourful ensemble and an amazing hat (that came with it's own light source!!!) in front of the logo of the award.
Some Star Wars cosplayers at one of the smaller sessions during the day, in the lobby of the big library in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in from of an escalator.
We can identify a stormtrooper, a hoverbike trooper, a prequel trilogy trooper, a Jawa, and an Imperial officer.
Congratulations to Pam Hage on winning the 2025 Harland Prijs, the Dutch award for best short SciFi/Fantasy/Horror story of the year!
Thank you to all the readers, jury and organisers!
It was my first time participating (and first ever story written). I came in 52nd out of 267 entries. Grateful 🖤

Beetje antigif tegen alle ellende: De Harland Prijs 2025 is gewonnen door Pam Hage, met het verhaal Error 404! Gefeliciteerd Pam!

Heading to Utrecht tomorrow for the 'Middag van het fantastische boek': 'The Afternoon of the Fantastic Book'.
Curious to see which short stories will be chosen this year at the Harland Award, the award for 'best speculative short story'!

Ooh that's a very interesting text! And cool to see how from 1300 on more and more words that still remain in modern Dutch find their way back into English, making some parts surprisingly easy to read.

It would be so cool and sexy to go into a bookstore and discover a spinning rack of novellas. All sorts of Neon Hemlock and Psychopomp and TorDotCom pleasures and more on a rack that goes whizz whizz whizz

Onlangs ontving ik de 'Fluister Award', een glazen beeldje voor het beste luisterboek van 2025 volgens audioboekaanbieder Fluister. Hartstikke leuk! Ik dacht, nu zal de zilvervloot wel binnenvaren, dus ik vroeg hoeveel Fluister mij afgelopen jaar had opgeleverd.

Whites, browns and light blues. A man wearing beige pants and a blue shirt sits on a brown leather couch, staring off into the distance. We see him in profile, from the side. He's sitting in a tall room in a museum. No other people are visible. Far away we can perhaps spot some paintings.
Visited a museum today. My partner took a candid picture of me as I sat down to quickly write down some thoughts for a story I'm working on.

If you're nominating for the #HugoAwards, may I rec to your attention our wonderful artists for the Rook and Rose pattern deck? I *think* the first two are eligible in the pro artist category and the third in fan (though if you want to be *really* sure, you can nominate them in both). 1- #Hugos
