So so pleased to be podcast for a second time here. They did an excellent job with “Little Men with Knives” (Episode 429). Looking forward to listening tonight!
podcast
“We Are Sirens” is live at Podcastle
where it is read by the wonderful Abra Staffin-Wiebe. Episode 521, nearly one of my old building numbers, heh. It is a strange, wondrous experience to hear your work read by another person.
In other news, I have a new fancy Facebook Page, so if you’re a fan of the FB give it a like! Still can’t think of a username, but I’m working on it.
In other other news, I have finally seen the infinite war of avenging, and I liked it more than I thought I did. I made notes about stake-upping and when is something a lousy decision by a character and when is it just weak plotting. But I also saw this on Twitter today, and it resonated with me. Yes yes yes. These are the kinds of storytelling defaults that I need to interrogate in my own work, deeply, repeatedly.
re: Avengers: Infinity War:
YUH STILL CYAH TELL ME THAT [redacted] IS FUCKING LOVE, AND THE FACT THAT AN ENTIRE UNIVERSAL MAGICAL PASS/FAIL TEST WOULD ACCEPT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE LOVE OR SACRIFICE STILL FUCKING FRUSTRATES ME

And I nearly forgot! “Vendemiaire” is at Far Fetched Fables
It’s up! I love hearing my work read by others … and that they took the time to explicate the title. It’s turning into a banner week here. 🙂
