Alice on a dragon
The @realmsunknown.bsky.social subgenre deep dive is Fantasy That Turns Out To Be Sci-Fi -
Like, "The gods were aliens!" like in Stargate or "The demons were robots!"
Tell me notable sci fi twists that turn fantasy on its head and whether you liked them or not!

They really are excellent, I got my order faster than I get mail from my parents and they only live a few miles away. Seriously, USPS, bring back the mail handling facilities that Louis Dejoy closed down

To add to what @alicefraser.bsky.social points out here*, it's particularly harsh to dangle the carrot of enthusiasm while riding the donkey of predatory ad sales.
Art is deeply personal, self promotion is demoralising, the idea that someone likes our stuff is exciting. To exploit that is inhumane.

This is what weβre doing.
Because itβs kind of impossible to make scripted podcasts any other way. Believe me.
This could be the futureβ¦

If in Aus, New South Books is the supplier so if you can get it in to your local bookshop, thatβs the move. Or if youβre an ebook person, also good.

Terrible thing about being a standup-turned-writer is I have the slightly unacceptable urge to stand behind you all as you read and make notes on which bits make you laugh.

Well, better that people got their copies and I got Β£0 than vice versa which would be a moral and logistical nightmare. Still would rather have been paid
