I am sleeping so badly this week. And I know part of it's down to ridic anxiety with the world at large. Not even mental health related anxiety, since I really don't think it's irrational to be anxious given the daily news of what's going on. As my dear friend Deb Stanish put it on…

Hugo Nomination Recs: Best Fancast
The Best Fancast category in the Hugo Awards is the newest category of the awards; 2016 will only be the fifth year it's been contested. It's also the category that, IIRC, gets the least number of nominations and least number of votes. And this saddens me, cause it's also one of the most important categories…
Award Nominables Post
I meant to do ages ago and forget, brilliantly, but here is this year's post sharing what stuff I made last year that can be nominated for things, should you be so inclined: Companion Piece edited by myself and Liz Barr, is eligible in the Best Related Work category of the Hugos. This is a…
HamilWho
Hello, lovely people! I spent an hour or so of today engaged on a terrible enterprise. Hamilton, that wildly successful musical (I say, just in case you don't know what the dickens I'm on about), has been mashed up with all sorts of other fandoms in all sorts of ways because Hamilton is kind of…

It is NOT FREEZING in California. Oh, for the joy of not dressing like a Yeti! In the meantime, let me share three lovely…
Happy New Year and all that…
Some might argue the New Year arrived about a week ago; these people are, of course, wrong. It was yesterday. That bit before doesn't count because there were floods and I had fake flu, and I wish to start the New Year both well and not feeling faintly panicky every time it starts to rain.…
Face the Ravenclaw
This week's Verity! is out. I have not heard it yet, but I ASSUME they are all very excellent and correct about how great Face the Raven was. If not, I shake my head in fannish sadness at em. Also, the first special ep of Down and Safe arrived safely on Monday. It's almost two…
