For $0.00 you can read what Bret Devereaux (of ACOUP fame) called an "absolute banger of a Tolkien essay" and what my mom (of giving birth to me fame) called "very timely and relevant": "What Lies and Threats: Nationalist Myth-Making in The Lord of the Rings" on @speculativeinsight.bsky.social!
What Lies and Threats — Speculative Insight
Abby Roberts examines the use of national myth-making in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

a wonderful story
Making a new post, sans typo, for the morning crowd:

My story, “A Hoard of Infinite Meanings,” is now out in Swords & Sorcery Magazine, despite having no swords in it and only a little sorcery. It’s about a grieving linguist who rediscovers the magic in her work, and it’s free to read!

Han Solo Adventures: introduces the Corporate Sector (totally not the Empire!) and great characters like Bollux and Blue Max the droids, Gallandro the gunman, and Spray the space otter.

Includes the line (written in 1980) "Han fired first."

Splinter of the Mind's Eye: according to the book card nobody else had borrowed this for 40 years.

Luke/Leia romance! No Han or Chewie because they didn't think they could get Han back for a second film! Luke blacks out when he uses the Force! Multiple deaths and resurrections!

For a while now, I've been reading through #StarWarsLegends in (roughly) publication order.
