We made a hit book, and saw none of the money! Chris and Alice Unleashed!!! B'Ankruptcy Edition
This is a really good discussion by a couple of people who dealt with releasing a book through Unbound as it collapsed. @alicefraser.bsky.social and @chrisskinner.bsky.social are great, Alice's book is fantastic, and it's really unfair this happened to so many great people. youtu.be/8l73x6t27U4?...

@realmsunknown.bsky.social subgenre deep dive is bodies! Good uses of embodiment in science fiction or fantasy.
Slightly more abstract subgenre this week, so go wild with your recommendations and tell me why you think your game / book/ movie / show / manga fits the brief.

I did not expect my scifi/fantasy love to intersect with my bluegrass/Bela Fleck love but today's or yesterday's or was it tomorrow's episode of @realmsunknown.bsky.social did so.
Bravo Alice!
