Last week, the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) released their longlist of nominees for the BSFA Awards, for work published in 2023. Embroidered Worlds: Fantastic Fiction from Ukraine and the Diaspora was among those listed for Best Collections! I am honored that we were included; I'm also so excited to see Ukrainian fiction on a list like this.
When I was a young reader in the 80s and 90s, I dreamed of such an opportunity; and I am heartened to know that readers are enjoying and discussing these stories by writers in Ukraine and the Diaspora.
There are so many thoughtful collections and fantastic stories on this list, and I encourage you to take a look. Congratulations to my incredible co-editors, Olha Brylova & Iryna Pasko and to all the nominees!

2023 Eligibility for Awards
Happy New Year everyone! Glad to be with you again in 2024. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that the new year brings you health, wealth and prosperity!
I should have done this ages ago, but I was ill over the holiday season, so this is my very late post about my eligibility for speculative fiction awards this year.
I had a banner year in 2023 re my work for 2022, and I was so…

EasterCon 23
Had a lovely time at EasterCon. Ran a workshop with E.M. Faulds, went to a few panels, represented BFS Horizons (give us your stories!) I went to some book launches, haunted the dealers' room and spent the rest of the time meeting new people and catching up with old friends. (I also caught covid, as did quite a few others. I'm now negative and feel fine but I know some are still feeling the effects. I'm hoping everyone gets better and those with caring responsibilities for vulnerable people manage to isolate.)
I'm also on the judging panel of the British Fantasy Society's short story competition this year. Lots to read, so I'd better get to it.

EXCESSION - Iain M. Banks (1996)
People change. It must have been 2008 when I started reading fiction again, and Iain Banks’ Culture series became among the first things I devoured. Excession was my favorite of the series back then, and I decided it was time to reread it – hopefully to be entertained and awed again, and, at the very least, to take a long, hard look in the mirror of time.
For those unfamiliar with Banks & the…

I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand.

Me, scrolling tumblr reading a good strike for screenwriters thread
Also me: HUGO THREE TIME AWARD WINNER AND FAMOUS AUTHOR NK JEMISIN?!?
LOL. Well, yeah. I wrote a script last year (before the strike) for "The Fifth Season" film that Sony/Tristar is currently developing, so I'm now qualified to join the WGA. (Haven't done it yet bc of the strike, but I will when I can.) And even if I weren't qualified, writers are writers, and I'm always gonna show solidarity with my fellow creatives when they're fighting The Man.
(ID: A rainy sidewalk. N. K. Jemisin stands in the foreground holding a picket sign that reads WRITERS GUILD ON STRIKE! Handwritten underneath: Book Writers Stand for WGA. Jemisin is wearing shorts and a black shirt that reads "PENCILS THE F*CK DOWN". In the background are several other people carrying picket signs, text blurry.)
Also. ::cough:: It's, uh. Five Hugos. 😅
(ID: Photo of a glass trophy cabinet. Visible are 5 Hugos, a Nebula, and the top of a BSFA.)

Lost in Space 2018 (updated)
Lost in Space 2018 (updated)
This post collects my views on the 2018 Netflix reboot of Lost in Space, episode by episode. I wrote each set of thoughts after watching the episode, and published all once at the end. I space the stories out rather than binge watch. This allowed me to reflect and blog.
Update October 2023 — I found this piece I also wrote for the BSFA Vector magazine — Tony’s 2018 Pick: Lost in Space.

Can I recommend my series of novels about very silly teenagers getting into nonsense with fairies and gods and mythological beings around their cutesy little town?
What is coming of age for if not dealing with the Immortal Boyfriend Age Gap quandary, discovering you are really into giant horned deer gods, being a cursed teenage witch with a crush on your new bestie, or being the friend who saw it all coming months in advance?
#troutespond#I realised I only thought this was my pinned post and in fact I had dreamed of doing it#but then didn't#which is extremely on brand for this series I guess#anyway doxxing myself to try and make some money#books can be found on other sites but I am obliged to link to the excellent small press first#they are being so kind about my migraine situation
