My story is an embroidery, with many beginnings and no end. But I will start with the thread of my sestra Sarah, who stepped off a train one day and met herself...

Queen Polydora of Domino and Oritel the Adamant

Bloom’s parents. I am of the opinion that they should stay dead but also that Bloom should learn more and more about the legacy they left and their affect on the magical world through the series. Also yes I changed the moms name I can’t imagine anyone is that attached to her being Marion/Mariam/Miriam soz if u are

[Image description: Oritel, a slim man with long brown hair and beard, wears a gold circlet and rests his hand on the handle of a long sword. Beneath his robes he wears golden chain armor. He looks down, somber. Polydora, a small woman with a wide, pale face, smiles jovially and holds one hand aloft, wielding a flame. Her ginger hair is dressed with gold ribbon into two curved horns, and magically suspended above her head another flame sits in place of a crown. They are dressed in early medieval and Byzantine inspired robes of red, gold, blue and white. End description.]

steve winchell is the funniest homophobic character ever created. like why is he inexplicably cool with trans people. why the fuck is he a testosterone dealer. does that make him an ally to the trans community, or an ally to buck specifically. what’s going on with him.

Me, a person who's written hundreds of thousands of words of a physics and sci-fi adjacent fic, reading a physics driven sci-fi book (The Three-Body Problem): Oh shit this book slaps

Interest check: would any of you all participate in an online queer SFF book club??

Fell & I have discussed this as an option for our (inactive & mostly empty) Discord server that we made for readers/patrons and I will actually start organizing if we get any interest!! Interact with this post or I guess just join the server now & I'll make it happen if enough people seem down :)

Anyone who tries to tell you that fandom used to be chill before Kids These Days came along is lying to you, because I've been in the trenches going through old zines from the very beginning of organized science fiction fandom in the 1930s, and let me tell you, it was the autism Thunderdome. They were calling each other Hitler, getting into physical fights, writing into letter columns suggesting that other fans kill themselves.

To give the briefest of summaries: the first convention happened in 1936 with about 9 guys, and within three years they and all of sci-fi fandom had split in two over who got to plan the cons and who was a card-carrying Communist. By 1943 they'd had the first attempted fandom cult and the first faked suicide. Two different sex offenders were exposed, one the attempted cult leader and one a major player in the Communism feud. Another sex offender was only exposed in the 21st century after his death; in the 1940s he publicly proposed to a lesbian Satanist in the pages of A FANZINE and she had to politely suggest that this was best discussed in private. Everyone kept making fun of a teenage Ray Bradbury for being a terrible writer. They would tear their own friends' work to absolute shreds in public if they didn't like it!

Two young men got to the Chicago Worldcon by stowing away on boxcars and riding in the freezing cold for 30 hours (they got an award and cash prize for doing this). All this is taking place at a time where there were maybe 50 genuinely active fans, and they all knew each other and had to pay money to mail their fights to each other. It was wild out there, my friends.

As someone who is guilty of loving all three of these (and who is currently writing one of them), I'm curious to see what others think.
