These are both just lovely. If you're feeling romantic but not saccharine, snap them up.
So I wrote two books. both are set in London, in winter, in 2021. One is an alternate future history, a sparse love story where a spad and civil servant work on Brexit together and fall unwillingly in love; the other is a sports anime, a post-pandemic f/f romance. here they both are:

It’s amazing how this concept can be seen in play, in every sub-culture, in every community and always within the newest members. Look for the people who are “experts” after only a short time in the field. They are often the ones preaching to everyone else.

I guess I'm not going to Angouleme any time soon.
The short version is that the company in charge of the festival mistreats authors and its own employees (up to firing a victim of sexual assault last year) and that company has just had its contract renewed for ten years.

I think a tag that tells you where someone is posting from/about, like the gender/elder labeler, would be nice. Especially when colonialism leaves the same place names in a load of countries and a load of places have political parties with same names. It would help me be less confused.
