Tbh it's been great reading these female spec fics. Quite struck by the overlaps between Piercey, Thomas and Sullivan in terms of body occupation / multiple realities within a single body.

Thanks for this -sorry, been reading for a week or so! After Piercey it went Grace Chan, Tricia Sullivan & now Sue Thomas - and Correspondence turns out to be at least as radical as the others, which I did not expect for some reason 🙄. I tend more to cyberpunk than fantasy but will give Moon a look!

Yes I have, it's fantastic. Thank you!

Remember when they use to go after kids for downloading songs off of limewire or posting anime music videos on YT? But AI companies scrapping millions of copyrighted materials? OK 👍

Suarez was deeply, madly flawed, but had the greatest combination of strength, ambition, intensity, and competitiveness I think I've seen, with a level of skill that blew minds

Someone got an assist for lumping it up the pitch! Suarez was a miracle worker

Also a crime that we didn't win that much with him, did we? I may be doing him a big disservice, there, but it felt like a team with him + SG should have ruled the world
