I’d just like to take this moment to share a magnificent thought from the mind of my boyfriend: what if instead of another mass effect game, BioWare decided on making the sequel a book instead? And what if the author given the task of writing said novel was none other than Becky Chambers? Imagine what she could do with these alien cultures and biotics! The potential queerness! The perspective of (and from) artificial intelligence like the geth and EDI! What I’d give to read her version of mass effect. I’m so mad at my boyfriend for thinking of this because now I want it.

I know that a Wayfarers fandom exists somewhere. SOMEWHERE.
AND I CANT FIND IT.
Hear me now
I will find you
I will join you
And I will never be seen again.
Thank you for your time.
*i know it exists but not as much as I want it to*

Doh! My dyslectic ass read that as aromantic instead of aromatic at first, so I voted for Sage despite knowing nothing about her, cause while I love the Wayfarers series and Pepper with my whole heart, she’s clearly in a loving romantic relationship with Blue and isn’t good Aro rep, and thought she’d got placed on a poll about Aro characters by mistake >.<
Now that I actually read the poll correctly I totally would’ve voted for Pepper, she is wonderful

Becky Chambers really said neopronouns are the norm thousands of years from now in basically every species/language and only doubled down harder as her series went on and I love her for that.

"You're Rosemary Harper. You chose that name because the old one didn't fit anymore. So you had to break a few lows to do it. Big fucking deal. Life isn't fair, and laws usually aren't, either. You did what you had to do. I get that."

I've heard fans say there should be a movie adaptation of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, but consider this instead: a YouTube channel with a series of "vlogs" where characters from the Wayfarers books talk about what they're up to these days.
It would be small-scale, personal, and sweet. Just like the books we've grown to love.

The book Record of a Spaceborn Few is about so many things. It’s about the unbroken human spirit. It’s about how humans fear change but also desperately want it. It’s about how humans are reluctant to accept help, and also feel left behind when none is offered. It’s about human nature’s wariness of outsiders against our better judgment, but also unending curiosity. It’s about human unending optimism and the drive to survive.
But also it’s about 4 protagonists ending up at funeral for a guy they didn’t even really know.

I've just finished reading "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" (Wayfarers Series, Becky Chambers) - which sat on my to-read list for far too long and which I loved! Its been a bit since I've last read through a book in one go, completely forgetting time - So here's a little sketch of Sissix & Ashby. :)

I recently devoured all of Becky Chambers’ books and they were exactly what I needed. I was reading a lot of Octavia Butler before and got really into sci-fi fantasy, but her books are really unsettling (as they should be) and I needed a little break. I love how Chambers’ style embodies a lot of what I adore in Octavia Butler combined with Star Trek and a few other things. It’s very hopeful and comforting while still shining a light at the terrors.
I’m gonna try Annalee Newitz next— does anybody have any recommendations for authors with similar styles and subject matter? I’d love recommendations, especially if you know there’s an audiobook!
