Fiona Moore is a Canadian academic, writer and critic based in London (UK). She is best known for writing works of TV criticism, short fiction, stage and audio plays, and academic texts on the anthropology of business and organisations. Her research work has been described by Professor Roger Goodman at the University of Oxford's Nissan Institute as "engaging head-on with the growing and increasingly complex literature on transnationalism and globalisation and relating it constructively to key ideas in symbolic anthropology." A graduate of the University of Toronto and the University of Oxford, she is Chair of Business Anthropology at Royal Holloway, University of London. In 2020, she was shortlisted for the BSFA Award for Shorter Fiction, and in 2023 she won the BSFA Award for Short Non-Fiction. .. more

Updated my calling card again.
A blue shading to purple card with a picture of Fiona Moore at the centre and three pictures, of a miniature cabinet, a cat and some flatbread with eggs, at the bottom. The text outlines my recent work which you can find at www.adoctorofmanythings.com or by following @drfionamoore on social media.

Today's festive fiction is "The Egg Man", one of the first stories I sold. I think there are not enough stories about Boxing Day out there, and this one features the special madness that is the Magical Mystery Tour: adoctorofmanythings.wordpress.com/2025/12/26/s...
Stories for the Holidays: The Egg Man
This is a story for Boxing Day, mostly because there don’t seem to be many stories about Boxing Day. But it’s a special day for people who like retro-SF, because that’s when The M…

Happy Christmas!
A 17th century woodcut celebrating the return of Christmas after its banning by the Puritan regime. It depicts three men. Left to right: PURITAN (in a black hat) Keep out, you come not here. SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS (bearded man in white): O sir, I bring good cheere. FARMER (in a small hat and carrying a basket on a stick over his shoulder): Old Christmas welcome. Do not fear.

My Christmas Eve offering is "The Island of Misfit Toys", the first story I sold to @clarkesworldmagazine.com and still one of my favourite of the things that I've written.

Born miraculously without a human father, he was rejected, persecuted, and attacked; he consorted with thieves and prostitutes; he died and returned 2,000 years later to save civilisation.

Nonetheless, Stephen Spielberg's "A.I." is a deeply uneven movie.

Over the holidays, I always repost my four seasonal fiction pieces on the appropriate dates (the Solstice, Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and Twelfth Night). I'm kicking off with The Children of Flame, a winter Solstice in post-apocalyptic Wales: adoctorofmanythings.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/s...

With the Winter Solstice upon us, it is time to take a step back from the frantic business of daily life and quietly reflect on the true meaning of Gauda Prime #GaudaPrimeDay
Avon stands over the body of Blake, who he has just shot dead in a tragic misunderstanding born of paranoia and trauma. He is surrounded by Federation troopers, who have just shot the rest of his crew. Got to be honest, it's not looking good.

I'm so disappointed in @sfwa.org for this. I understand that by requiring disclosure of partial LLM-created works, as their announcement states, means SFWA's letting "nominators and the voters" make the final decision. BUT YOU'RE STILL ALLOWING SUCH WORKS ON THE NEBULA AWARDS FINAL BALLOT! 1/
sfwa.org Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association @sfwa.org · 7d
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration.

Read on, and vote well!

We trust our voters & look forward to what they choose to celebrate.
