Dr Who author: I now have the plot of a new novel
Sprucing up the @insertcoin.bsky.social Dreamcast bag with a magic sponge and some cleaner ready for SonicCon on Saturday.
Probably the last hurrah for this bag, it has served faithfully for many years and is looking very battered now
meanwhile, in Star Trek land:
Star Trek: *establishes continuity*
Modern Star Trek: *does whatever vibes and 'feels' Trek-esque*
Nerdy Fans: ๐
Modern Tre: *sweating* Err... it's because of the Temporal Cold War changing history

Iโm touring my one man version of A Christmas Carol this December; got a bunch of dates in BUT Iโve got an annoying gap: 14th - 17th.
Been waiting to hear from some venues but canโt wait any longer.
I donate 50% of my cut to local charities
Any small (<100 seat)f venues interested?
I should get a badge made with this on and wear it at conventions

It drives many of us writer/journalists nuts. If we don't play the game Google's way, we don't get paid.
It's such a bullshit situation.
