Thank you, friend 🥺

I hope you're having an amazing time!!

Beautiful!!

🔥 Love that! Have you read PROPHET by Helen Macdonald and Sin Blaché? That was a fun one in this vein, too, although maybe more New Weird / VanderMeer than what you’re doing here?

the tyranny of the “standard plot” 😭

ooohhhh 👀

THEY ARE!! I don’t know what it is about space stations, but they just have so much potential for strangeness. Maybe it’s the sense that they are a crossroads of the universe like a lot of real historical imperial cities so often were, where a lot of different things can come together unexpectedly.

aw, always love to hear that! I was thinking of MOTHEATER when I read your pitch!!

Such a fun pitch! Good luck today!

Oh man, give me a disintegrating space station and leaders in disgrace to suss out ANY time.

🥲 I *will* survive the writing of this novel!

Omg, I am so close 😭! I have like a chapter and a half, and then a couple little revisions that I want to do to kind of round it out before I send it to @thaisafonso.bsky.social to read. I’m off work next week so fingers crossed I will finish!!

YES!! I’m so glad you were able to put down some words even with pain making that difficult.
