Eligibility Post INCOMING: Hey, hi. My novella EMPIRE OF THE FEAST is the new kid on the book, but I'd appreciate any Nebula consideration you have to spare. It's extremely queer, BIPOC driven, & hella weird. SFWA voters can reach out to me or @neonhemlock for copies. 🖤👾

It finally crystallized for me why I tend to side-eye the furious opinions on the term 'content' in arts communities. For me, there's nothing precious about art. It's work. It's work like waiting tables was work.

Tbh I haven't looked at the site and I'm not going to because my ideal death is being immediately vaporized by God after a particularly egregious bit of blasphemy while my poor public defender guardian angel throws xir hands up.

If we can't make that happen, then falling into a subway grate while texting some chucklefuck I don't even like that much is also fine. Just make it worthy of a segment on Six Feet Under, you know?

Especially in light of how things are going, this is the first and only piece of kink at pride discourse we need this year.

Super tempted to send the Ignyte nomination to a dude who told me several of his friends were "real writers" when I told him what I do. Do we think this is real enough? Maybe if we could get Dean Koontz to sign off? 🤔
