I just downloaded my @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 69 from @weightlessbooks.bsky.social and went straight to @wiswell.bsky.social 's "Welcome to Heroism." It has some really funny scenes and thought provoking ideas. Another great story by John. 4/7 on the web. www.uncannymagazine.com/uncanny-maga...
I just backed @alexshvartsman.bsky.social 's The Best of All Possible Planets on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufo...
Looking forward to the audiobook.
Thrilled to announce that THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE PLANETS audiobook will be narrated by Eli Schiff, featuring the amazing comedian Lewis Black as the voice of Airvolt!

HOLY COW
The Humble Bundle has been extended for another week because they were so pleased with our success so far.
Please tell your friends. There's one more chance to help this essential organization. <3
(don't forget to select "adjust donation")
So, sorry to hear this. I hope things are going to turn around for you. At least we have a new novel of yours to enjoy in the months ahead. Plus Uncanny Magazine 69 has a new story of your “Welcome to Heroism" (4/7 on the web, next week for those who subscribe).
Slowly rationing out @maxgladstone.bsky.social 's Dead Hand Rule. I was not feeling all that well this morning and I got to Chapter 38. This is one of the most exciting chapters of fiction I've read. It really gets the blood flowing and I felt a bit better after reading it.
I first heard about the novel when listening to The @coodestreet.bsky.social Episode 686. It sounded very interesting and I am listening to that again because it is good to hear where the novel came from.

Finished listening to All That We See or Seem by @kyliu99.bsky.social I was compelled to go through the final 15 chapters today. It is a really good techno-thriller and I am looking forward to more Julia Z novels.

And the audiobook narrated by Sid Sagar & Moira Quirk (Macmillan Audio) is a finalist for the Audie Awards.

Finished listening to @scottedelman.bsky.social with Jack C. Harris on Eating the Fantastic. Another fascinating discussion about the ins and outs of comics world.

In addition I need to call out "The Parsley Girl" by @theodoragoss.bsky.social - the poem in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social podcast 68B. A really fun story about fairy tales and witches. I had not read the original Persinette fairy tale from 1698.

And the @uncannymagazine.bsky.social podcast has a fascinating interview with Kylie Lee Baker by @michaeldthomas.bsky.social discussing motivations behind the story, ai, and more.

Listened to/read "This Story Does Not Exist" by Kylie Lee Baker from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 68 read by @hollygodarkly.wandering.shop.ap.brid.gy
Quite an interesting and moving story from the POV of a robot. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/this...
Also Zara Ramm does an amazing job performing the novel. Just wonderful energy throughout.
I may need to look into other novels she has narrated.

And now I need to relisten to @coodestreet.bsky.social episode 698 and hear what @emilytesh.net said there now in context of having listened to the novel.

Finished listening to The Incandescent by @emilytesh.net this evening. It was loads of fun with a good number of surprises and heart felt moments. One of my favorites of 2025.

I recently started reading Dead Hand Rule by @maxgladstone.bsky.social and then suddenly on page 89 Max appears to channel Douglas Adams while talking about coffee shops. I got a good laugh there.
Just finished listening to another enlightening episode of Eating the Fantastic. A great conversation between @scottedelman.bsky.social and @donsimpson1713.bsky.social
Never heard of them before. It looks like I have a treat ahead of me. Thanks.
And finished. That was great. At the moment it is my favorite of 2025.

It was most interesting seeing what Andy changed for the public performance of those 5 pages. It was good to dip again into An Agent of Utopia.

Just read "Daddy Mention and the Monday Skull" by @andyduncansf.bsky.social from his An Agent of Utopia collection. Actually I read along with Andy performing the first 5 pages at about 02:15:00 of Ep 85 of Eating the Fantastic and then read the rest.
www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
And I've now listened to the other two podcasts, which were a delight. It was interesting to hear Christmas songs in the background throughout the An Agent of Utopia one. It adds a little extra to it. I'm about to now read along in An Agent of Utopia to his first reading at the end of that.
I just finished listening to this ultimate "behind the scenes" of a story discussion between @scottedelman.bsky.social and @andyduncansf.bsky.social which features two readings from the story to start off the podcast. “Criswell Predicts!” I'll listen to more discussions between the two of them.
Almost halfway through @alixeharrow.bsky.social 's The Everlasting. I really should not be surprised how good this is, but it keeps on getting better.

And @michaeldthomas.bsky.social interviews @atgreenblatt.bsky.social in the @uncannymagazine.bsky.social podcast where we get the scoop behind the story. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/unca...
Listened to/read "The Doorkeepers" by @atgreenblatt.bsky.social from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 68. Another fascinating concept in a great story with intriguing characters. There is a lot in this story and it merits a reread.

I am glad most of my time on YouTube is on creators I follow or interviews I am interested in.
