It's a tale of alien visitation AND an educational tool!

I am worth 100 shillings, or 5 fine hunting dogs! www.weregildcalculator.com

It would be great if you did!

Yes, I worked out that my current writing income more or less covers my holidays. With maybe enough left over for a new frock, in a good year.

Isn't this the background to my Morag and Seamus cozy post-apocalypse stories?

"people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens."

A surprising number of my dayjob colleagues think I make a lot of money off my writing, with one even asking me if I'd quit after Management Lessons from Game of Thrones came out. She was surprised when I told her how little the author makes off a book like that.

Watch: This Insane, Gigantic Airplane Concept Is Like a Flying 5-Star Resort With Room for 5,000 Guests The Sky Cruise would be a massive hotel with stunning views that uses clean nuclear energy to stay afloat for several years.

I simply have to write a Captain Artemis story featuring one of these: robbreport.com/motors/aviat...

As well as a piece of flash fiction with a political twist, it is also a handy guide for students on how to correctly format a reference list.

It's a fascinating subject. I'm glad to be allowed to blather on about it!

Ha! Sadly not, though I could do. This time, since The Ministry of Time is up for a Hugo, I'm looking at the way in which the FE has been interpreted over the years and what that tells us about things like Canadian identity, imperialism, and the climate crisis.

Forgot Carnivale and Mad Men!

Assuming we're just talking 21st century series: Empire, Babylon Berlin, In The Flesh, Boardwalk Empire, Derry Girls, We Are Lady Parts, Cunk On Earth, Mythic Quest..

The first book in my Scarlet Revolution trilogy, SCARLET, is currently just 99p on Amazon. Revolutionary France, vampires, the Scarlet Pimpernel, guillotines, and one poor maid just trying to keep her head down - and on their shoulders…

I’m doing a talk on the Franklin Expedition there!

I'm more and more convinced that we need to segregate sports by height and weight classes (or other physical traits depending on the activity) rather than gender. It makes much more sense.

Fans of my article comparing colonialisms in the book and TV series of The Terror might like to know that I'm giving an online talk at the virtual bid party for the Edmonton Worldcon, on Fictionalisations of the Franklin Expedition! Come along and have opinions.

Or explaining how the Cylon invasion is somehow linked to the brunching habits of twentysomething Capricans.

Very understandable reaction 😂.

I wrote a guidebook to it once, and still occasionally write the odd article for other people based on that, so it sticks in my mind.

Thinking about it, it would probably depend on the network. He'd be the "making frogs gay" guy on Fox News but the "wellness craze" guy on MSNBC, which supports the point that news reporters are generic figures rather than real people.

I think so. A now-deleted interview with RDM from very early in the programme indicated they originally thought the Cylons would be archetypal figures, and news anchors/reporters are sort of that.

Could be! I was thinking of him as being more the "I'm here to talk about the wellness craze that's sweeping the nation!" sort, you know, paleo diets or avocado smoothies or hot yoga or whatever, but right-wing conspiracies would also work.

Sorry, I meant Two does the quirky human interest pieces. Still in post-conference-recovery mode and my brain is cheese.

Eight is the roving reporter; Three, the war correspondent; Five, arts and media; Four, sports; Seven does the quirky human interest pieces.

This article reminds me of one of the things that always struck me about the Cylons in reimagined Battlestar Galactica: they look like a news anchor team. Seriously. Six and One, the headliners, and the others all covering specialist subjects 1/2

My nan absolutely loved Jim'll Fix it. Because she genuinely believed that it was the uncomplicated story of a rich man using that money to do nice things for people. And if that were the case, then it would indeed be worth loving.

But yes, OP has either not seen Blake's 7 or has completely missed the point.

Delta :)

😆 No, I was referring to the post I reposted, where a Big Finish customer complains that they make Blake look soft and flabby on the covers and this is clearly woke young people who hate the thought of an alpha male. Gareth Thomas, who played Blake, was indeed soft and flabby.
