Did not have being in The Times on the 2024 bingo card, but there you go! 📰 A neat little Saturday piece looking at the impact of WoW on our lives (and loves), featuring a few other familiar faces.

A couple of you have asked what length an SF novel should be. Here are SFWA's guidelines for the Nebula Awards:

1. Novel: Over 40,000 words
2. Novella: 17,500 - 40,000 words
3. Novelette: 7,500 - 17,500 words
4. Short story: Under 7,500 words

Hope that helps.
