What did you do for a Klondike bar?
WHAT DID YOU DO?!
What I have learned in the last 24hrs is I need to go to writing retreats more frequently.

Mine keep blooming tons but they're not setting fruit except for one lemon tree. I'm really hoping for blood oranges next year tho cause they're my favorites

A spooky figure holding a pointy dog in its arms on a yellow and teal background. Altogether they have four eyes, though the distribution is uneven.

Props to Benjamin for sharing the details of his contract. Unfortunately no props to MRM because there's a lot of extremely outre stuff in here that I'd refuse to sign. Let's run it down. (Context: If you're negotiating a contract with Strange Horizons, I'm the person you're negotiating with.)

An overlay of The Thirteenth Floor anthology on a background of a red and yellow fireball. The cover features a jagged graphic face in red with distressed yellow marks across it, and computer code overlaid on top. Designed by Sam Gretton.
The Thirteenth Floor anthology cover on a Waterstone's promo graphic that states "25% off on upcoming books. Pre-order now with code: OCTOBER25. 14-17 October. Online only."
SURPRISE! We were thrilled to contribute to Rebellion's Thirteenth Floor anthology, which sends homicidal computer Max all across the world to protect and terrorise.
Better yet, it's available to pre-order in the Waterstones sale. It's due out February 12, 2026 - perfect for Valentine's Day!
just saw a commercial mocking chubby dads for wearing tiny shorts and this is a) not the variety of short straight heterosexual men in their late 40s wear and b) working directly against the cultural momentum we have been pressing forward sisyphean for my entire life and i WILL NOT stand for it
