The journey from hobby to expert can be subtle, but then one day you have opinions. I'm sure this applies to #writing but I'm talking about my rabbits. Some people out here weaning too early and selling weak ears on breeds that are supposed to be straight eared. #rabbitry

I primarily read romance, fantasy, and historical fiction, but right now I'm reading _Leviathan Wakes_ and the book I most recently finished was _He, She, and It_ by Marge Piercy, which is mostly scifi, so whatever.

I write romance with a side of fantasy, almost always. #PretendPanel
#pretendpanel, continuing on our reader/writer topic, I'm going to ask a question that I will struggle to answer... I'm so bad at picking favourites!

August 8th: Do you have favourite genres to read and/or write?

Epic #fantasy and SF solidified my love for writing, but I prefer to write shorter and to steer clear of hard SF. I love urban fantasy but tend to write darker, with fewer side quests, while keeping the happy endings. Very picky about horror and do write #sff #horror

Decades after nuclear war, magic returns.

Felt like I "made it" as a parent yesterday because my teen picked up The Martian. This kid used to never read fiction, but I contented myself with the fact that he read nonfiction. Now he's reading my favorite genre, with science knowledge enough to rival any #sf nerd. TY @angryastro.bsky.social
