It's an amazing feat of writing how @meganflchee.bsky.social can turn any mundane scenario into a hilarious and piercing critique of our society and capitalism, while also maintaining our empathy for the characters. And this story is no exception!

👾 The fabulous @elianeboey.bsky.social and @meganflchee.bsky.social are somehow even more fabulous in person. Wandering through Chinatown talking books, history and culture over dinner and desserts was 💯

Such a great story! (Isn't it amazing how mundane things like audits and HR are everywhere??) Thanks for the tale, the laughs, and the perfect ending. @lightspeedmagazine.com And #MirronWillis did an incredible narration; if anyone knows him, please tell him so.

My story in The Speculative Detective Agency is set in Singapore's central business district, about an unnaturally work-addicted team of financial analysts. Maybe they're just really passionate about spreadsheets... or maybe it has something to do with that cursed e-learning course...
Author Highlight #1: Megan Chee’s “Office Party”

The life of a speculative detective can be a bit lonely at times, moving from one city to the next, one strange case to the next...

I love a god gaining humility in "The God of Minor Troubles" by @meganflchee.bsky.social. Plus bonus badass old lady!
"The Hidden Heart of Brass Attending" by @cscott-author.bsky.social was so unexpectedly sweet. I loved the heartrending, soft underbelly under all of that cold, unyielding brass.
