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!

No, just my imagination.

Imagining a husband apologising to his wife like someone with a PR team.

β€œWe know we’ve missed the mark, and we’re listening, growing and learning…”

The best gift I gave myself was to make sure my personal site has no analytics.

Our volunteer publicist and part time pencil, J always did the best writeups of podcasts.

Imagined Futures: Early Sci-Fi and Electric Visions Picturing the future, from steam-powered machines to Jules Verne's visions of space travel

They had me at "19th c. scientific romance: a genre blending fiction and speculative science," and I thought I would be derelict in my duty if I did not share w/ fans of @realmsunknown.bsky.social & @alicefraser.bsky.social Enjoy how weird we've all always been!

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 quote @alicefraser.bsky.social: β€œnever before has so much hot air lifted so few balloons”

What a dream to be compared with such an icon!

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.

Thankyou for wanting to buy my book. I’ll never get over how cool it is

This is what we’re doing.

Because it’s kind of impossible to make scripted podcasts any other way. Believe me.

This could be the future…

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

Thankyou, I really really enjoyed writing that, and it took two takes when I was recording the audiobook.

"she's too difficult to be hired by the governessless because she's too sexy for governessness" has stuck in my brain

Oh, I see I wasn’t clear. In this hypothetical scenario I’m watching them read MY book. Not interested in what they laugh at in other people’s books, heh

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
