Eligibility post for SF/F awards listing the novella "Uranians" and the short stories "Toward a Theory of Alternative Lifestyles" and "Alien vs. Bachelorette" by Theodore McCombs, on a background of the author in his Urania drag look.

SF/F friends: as we turn to that joyful but stressful time (nominating season), I'd be grateful if you considered my work published this year, especially my swing-for-the-fences queer spaceship novella "Uranians."

Four books are lined up on folded over quilts in shades of blue, with small pops of neon yellow. Homesick: Stories has a cover with olive green 2D houses floating on blue waves that variate from light teal to blue-black. The title is in light teal block letters. What Moves the Dead has a block letter titled laid over a brown, sketched hair that is morphing with pink and red fungus, with a black background. The image is unsettling. Monstrilio is written in white cursive on a grey back ground that has various rhomboid and triangular shapes in bright red, green, periwinkle, and yellow. There is a vintage style illustration of a bat like monster with red eyes layered wit the shapes. Evil Flowers is written upside down in white sans serif capital letters, while the authors name is written right side up in the same font, across a psychedelic green, blue, purple, yellow, and neon pink cover.

Today on #ChannelOpenPod, @samanito.bsky.social and I discuss his debut novel, Monstrilio. We talked about maligned genres, reader expectations, self-acceptance, and what it means to be monstrous: www.keepthechannelopen.com/episodes/202...
