My goal as a Project Hail Mary fan is to set up as much of a fandom for the movie-goers as possible.
Not only do we set the tone for the fandom after the movie, but profit from the new fics and art after supplying our own for so long.
#project hail mary movie#ryland grace#rocky the eridian#im curious how theyre going to portray Rocky#have you ever listened to whale song?#its fucking terrifying#and hearing that in space would not be chill and how are they gonna do translations???#space#project hail mary

For posterity, my annual New Years meme:
1. Your main fandom of the year: Baldur’s Gate 3! It’s funny, the last two years in a row I listed it as something I was interested in getting into but I wanted to wait until it left early access. And I am so glad I waited! I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy this game so it was a nice little surprise, plus I’m glad I got to experience the story in its entirety rather than waiting for content to be slowly added to the beta version. This game was a master example of my favorite type of game to play- namely, an RPG that allows you to develop a custom character’s appearance, attitude, and relationships with other well defined and interesting characters. This is something that, up until now, I’ve only ever gotten from BioWare, and recent developments from that studio have been disappointing, to say the least. I’m really glad to see there are other studios out there who can create this kind of experience, and craft it with such obvious love and care. I fell in love with all the characters and their stories! I also had a lot of fun watching the actors who brought them to life stream the game and experience how all their work came together. A truly well deserved Game of the Year.
2. Your favorite film this year: This is the year of DnD I guess because my favorite movie was Honor Among Thieves! Another very fun romp in the Forgotten Realms, this fantasy heist movie was a joy to watch. The unconventional family relationship beteen Edgin, Holga, and Kira was especially sweet and I nearly cried at the end when they had to choose how to use the resurrection spell. I also really enjoyed the Hunger Games prequel ; I thought the music and the sets were especially well done. I really enjoyed the art in Across the Spiderverse but I didn’t like that they ended it on a cliffhanger, especially when it could take quite a while for the next film to come out. Not a fan of splitting one story into two movies; I didn’t like it when the original Hunger Games trilogy did that either.
3. Your favorite book this year: The fact that I initially couldn’t remember what I read this year and had to go look it up in my Libby account probably says something about the state of my reading this year, hah. I remember checking out and starting several books from the library that did not grab my interest, and which I then returned without finishing. Unfortunate. Of the books I did finish, I enjoyed Martha Wells’ Witch King and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Witch King had a really interesting mythology and setting, and I’d be interested in reading more stories in that setting. Project Hail Mary is another of Weir’s stories that grounds itself in a modicum of science but makes it fun, and had several twists that kept me turning the pages. I also listened to Martha Wells’ latest Murderbot novel; however I was sick and slightly delirious at the time so it didn’t really stick with me in the way that I would like, lol. Hope to get a physical copy to read soon so I can properly appreciate it.
4. Your favorite album or song this year: Machine Learning by J. Maya.
5. Your favorite TV show this year: Probably the Last of Us! I think they did a really good job at adapting a video game story to television, and at bringing new elements to a story I already loved. Pedro Pascal probably wouldn’t have been my first idea for someone to play Joel, but he absolutely killed it, as did Bella. Could have used a few more zombies, though. ;) Also really enjoyed season 2 of Good Omens! It was a delightful romp until suddenly it wasn’t. I was a bit peeved at the end because I didn’t know this story wasn’t going to be self contained either, and therefore relied on Amazon renewing the show for it to be completed. Bleh. But! Now that we know it has been renewed and we will absolutely see the finale on screen, I can be more forgiving of that absolutely gut wrenching ending. Oh! Also enjoyed Silo, an adaptation of the Wool trilogy of books I really enjoyed. The sets in this show were fantastic and looked exactly like I had imagined the silo to look while I was reading; I’m very excited to see how they deal with later developments in the story. And shoutout to Resident Alien, which I watched for the first time this year. Alan Tudyk is absolutely delightful and believably alien.
6. Your favorite tumblr moment this year: just the fact that we continue to exist as every other social media website sinks to previously unfathomable lows I guess.
7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year: I mean I guess it’s Baldur’s Gate 3? Something new I started doing this year that ties into that is watching other people play video games, which. Is kind of a weird way to spend your time but I’m still having fun. I’ve watched each of the cast members of BG3 stream their own playthroughs of the game and I’ve enjoyed that. I’ve also been watching Friends at the Table stream games, which they’ve been doing more often this year. It’s kind of nice to just have a bunch of friendly voices on in the background and to see how they problem solve together.
8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year: I guess I can talk about my disappointment with BioWare here. They haven’t released any new information on a game that has been in development for uh. A decade? They’ve also, according to reports, treated their staff absolutely horrendously and laid off a bunch of key developers in a game series I used to love. I know they are quite literally not the same studio that made the games I love because those people are gone and because they’ve been bought out by a larger, solely profit-driven company. Still sucks tho. Friendship ended with BioWare now Larian is my Best Friend etc. etc.
9. Your favorite male character of the year: …It’s going to be Astarion, isn’t it. I didn’t even like him when I first started playing BG3, because I like to make kind choices and he constantly disapproves of that lol. And then I got to the end of his questline and just had this like. “Oh.” moment. And then in my next playthrough I abandoned my original plans in order to romance him instead and I have been captivated ever since.
10. Your favorite female character of the year: Shadowheart! My first romance in BG3 and another companion with an absolute banger of a questline.
11. Your biggest squee moment of the year: Getting the epilogue for BG3 to finally play! It was a bit dicey with mods but I managed it, and it was so sweet to feel like I was meeting back up with these characters again after being away.
12. Your most missed old fandom: I haven’t talked about Doctor Who yet! So this year had the three specials with David Tennant and Catherine Tate back, and the nostalgia was just. Overwhelming. The chemistry between these two is impeccable, and I knew it was just going to be those three episodes but wow. I could have watched another full season of their hijinks together. Also just missed good old RTD and the little touches that defined his era. The specials were a real treat. Looking forward to the new adventures with Ruby and 15 but the tone did feel somewhat different, the sort of fantasy element that they are bringing in is new and fresh which is good but will take some getting used to on my part. Still very glad to have RTD back at the helm!
13. Your fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to: Once I finish this current playthrough of BG3, I’m going to try another one of Larian’s games, Divinity Original Sin 2. It looks kind of similar in terms of gameplay, if a bit dated, but I’m curious about what else Larian has done and this seemed like a good fit. I also did plan on playing Starfield at some point, but… reading reviews and watching some Let’s Plays makes it pretty clear the game is not what I expected. Might wait for an even bigger sale before I drop money on it. Which is funny, because I upgraded my computer this summer in order to play it… and then BG3 came along and reset my expectations, lol.
14. Your biggest anticipation of the New Year: New Doctor Who! Definitive edition of BG3! (DLC perhaps???) And I guess DA4 if it doesn’t crash and burn… I am skeptical…

We are excited to announce that Aaron Christopher Drown will be a guest at Ret-Con 2023! An author and
award winning graphic artist, check out the Guest Q&A below to learn more.
If someone was interested in your work, what would you recommend they check out first?
-
My new short story collection, The Gods Must Clearly Smile, would be a good place to start. It
runs the gamut of genres and I think makes for a decent primer on my work.
What is your most popular or best-reviewed work?
-
At the moment, The Gods Must Clearly Smile.
What are you working on right now, and will it be out by Ret-Con (the last weekend of February
2023)?
-
I’m working on the follow-up to my first novel, titled The Book of the Hated One. And no, it won’t
be ready by Ret-Con. In fact, I’m pretty sure my publisher thinks it will never, ever be done.
Who or what are your influences or inspirations?
-
My father loaned me a copy of the first novel I ever read, Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey, which
enthralled me. After that, Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy. But the book that set me on my path was
“The Sleeping Dragon,” by Joel Rosenberg. Ray Bradbury is a key influence, as is Fredric
Brown. And the work of Joseph Campbell is a constant source of inspiration.
What are you reading, watching, listening to, playing, or otherwise enjoying that you'd
recommend to Ret-Con attendees or your own fans?
-
Just finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten, and before that Project Hail Mary by Andy
Weir, The Once and Future King by T.H. White, and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon
Meacham. I’ve just started This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. On the flatscreen I’m
enjoying Severance, and despite the argle-bargle I’m thoroughly appreciating The Rings of
Power. On the music front, I’ve just discovered the band Wet Leg and can’t get enough of them.
Is there anything you'd like to share with our social media followers that isn't included above?
-
I’d never deny anyone the freedom to arrange their bookshelves by color, but if you do then you leave me no choice but to offer regular sidelong suspicious glances.

Hi, Q! As a big fan of your writing, I'm really curious about your nanowrimo process. Like in terms of what keeps you motivated/validated? Did you set some goal for yourself beforehand that you're trying to achieve (aside from the daily word count)?
I've tried it twice, the first time I was actually posting every day what I wrote the previous night. It wasn't my greatest work by any stretch of the imagination, but at least the process itself was fun, validating and interactive. I've enjoyed it a whole lot. And then the next year I decided that I would spend some actual time and thought on finessing what I wrote, instead of half-assedly editing it during my lunch break, and then I would post the whole thing after the fact. Well, guess what, this fic has never been finished, its 40000 words skeleton is buried in my drafts forever. I cannot even look at it, it makes me physically ill.
I really wanted to try again this year but there seems to be a mental block in my head I cannot break through. What keeps you going? Do you have a self-validation tip for this process that you could share?
first, let me let you in on a secret:
I have been trying to write this fic. for five years. and three NaNoWriMos jsldkjslkj
So I am not necessarily THE best person to give advice about staying motivated with writing projects. But I can say a few things that have been making this year work really, really well for me as opposed to previous years! And this answer got pretty long, but if even one part of it helps, I’ll consider it a success!
So the short answer: 1) making a detailed outline, 2) not editing in November, and 3) a healthy dose of external motivation. The longer answer:
Detailed Outline
If I’ve already lost you, please come back. I promise I hate outlines. I didn’t have an outline for this fic for five years. The outline was a hail mary throw, at least half motivated by panic that the show was going to end and no one would care about the fic by the time I posted it, and I did not expect it to work. But it changed absolutely everything about the writing process for me.
I didn’t realize until after I made myself stop typing scenes and start just figuring out the major beats in a notebook that up until then, what I’d been calling “writing” had actually been two things at once: writing, and planning.
By figuring out the major plot beats, then making a scene-by-scene outline, I got to do all the planning ahead of time. I know which plot points I need to foreshadow and when; I know what’s going to coax the characters two steps forward, and what’s going to send them one step back; I know exactly what the antagonist’s next move is and when they’re going to make it.
I thought I would miss that, and that I’d have no motivation to write once I knew everything that happened, but it turned out to be the opposite. Because by doing the planning ahead of time, I don’t have to multitask anymore, and I have so much more mental space to create. It’s like having all your paints mixed and your canvas primed before you even pick up a brush. You can just focus on the art.
I love being able to pick any scene off my list, in any order, and just let myself have fun writing it. The extra time I have that I’d previously used for utilitarian things like “how does this lead into the next scene” can now be used for fun things like “how can I set this scene up to call back to something that happened the show?”
2. Stop editing
Because actually I lied, before. What I used to do, and what it sounds like you did, wasn’t just two things at once: it was three. Writing, planning, and editing.
You know that little chant from Dune, where they’re like, “I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer”? That’s editing. Editing is the mind killer. By editing as you write, you’re like, reverse-validating yourself. You’re taking yourself out of the creative process to look for everything wrong with your writing and your story.
It’s also a time suck, and NaNoWriMo is a sprint. Editing is what December is for. When you free yourself from both planning and editing—by planning before, and editing after—writing will feel a lot more internally rewarding. You’re just making. You can get it nice for other people to look at, later. The first draft is for you, and specifically the part of you that loves your story. Don’t let the rest of you nitpick it apart yet.
3. External motivation
Here's the other thing: if I don’t update my word count on the NaNoWriMo website every day and keep my streak going, I will stop writing this fic. I wish I were joking.
Even with everything I just said, I need external motivators to actually get me to set a daily hard deadline of midnight to make myself carve time out of the day to write, and write fast. Missing a day last year and losing my streak was the nail in the coffin for that attempt (which had already been dying a slow, painful death, because I’d had no outline, and every day I was just adding another 1.6k of filler into the front half of act 2).
So I recommend using NaNo's website to keep a running word count and streak going, even better if you have add some buddies on there who will at least in theory be seeing whether you update every day or not. (You can add me, if you want! My username is fatherofthebride.)
I also definitely, definitely couldn’t be doing this without two great friends and beta readers, who endure some truly novel-length rants via text as I either talk through problem areas with them or send them excited recaps of a scene I just wrote and am really excited about.
If external validation works for you, but daily posting of the new writing doesn’t, I really recommend grabbing someone to chat to about how the fic is going and share snippets with, and/or posting about how it’s going/posting teaser snippets of the WIP.
And that's the end of the numbered list! I hope there's something at least a little helpful somewhere in here and I also really hope I actually answered your question <3
#also if you want specific recs i like jami gold's romance beat sheet for outlining and scrivener for writing software#scrivener's price & learning curve are ungodly but using google docs for nano last year made me want to throw my laptop into the ocean. so.#nano prep 22

Fanfic questions! A, M, N, and S!
A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
My toxic trait is that I will tell you with my whole heart that I love all of my fics equally for different reasons and I cannot pit them up against each other and then I'll hand people a picture of House Of Anarchy sitting beside Wipe My Hands Clean and Tolerance Tested. Yes I have 3 favourite children. Out of 63. It's allowable.
M: What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with? Did it turn into a story?
I mean, aside from brainworming myself into a fucking OTP of my own delusion (AviTis) and then writing 400k of it that I gleefully claim to be canon compliant, Project Sunseeker, I suspect, isn't weird so much as something I don't think I've seen done by anyone else. When I first wrote the original, the wildest part of it for me was always gonna completing a multichaptered fic, let alone one that ambitious. That said, the book that inspired the start, Project Hail Mary, was still pretty new at the time and... idk I see a fair amount of AU first contact war shakarian fics and the like but I like to delude myself into thinking Sunseeker is kinda a weird one for where it starts vs where it ends up.
N: Any fic ideas brewing that you’d care to share?
I can't say anymore than the title but. A short-ish sequel to A Cold And Unfamiliar Home that I'm rotating for the sake of making myself hurt and which is called Letters Returned To Sender. Talking about the plot would be significant spoilers but that motherfucker will hurt me so bad if I ever get around to it.
Also a sequel to The Longshot titled Killing Cut, featuring a serial killer and the suspicious fact that a series of murders are mirroring those in the in-fic detective noir Terror Thief - leaving Castis suspecting a copycat mirroring the show until... the next murder happens the day before the next episode airs.
S: How do you feel about fan art inspired by your writing?
(Respectfully) kissing the artist with tongue.

Ana de Armas: The Mesmerizing Beauty of Hollywood
Image: Instagram / Ana De Armas
When we talk about the most promising and talented young actresses in Hollywood, one name that instantly comes to mind is Ana de Armas. With her stunning looks and exceptional acting skills, she has captured the hearts of audiences all over the world.
Born and raised in Cuba, Ana started her career at a young age and has already made a significant mark in the entertainment industry. In this article, we will take a closer look at Ana de Armas' journey to success and her rise as one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Ana Celia de Armas Caso was born on April 30, 1988, in Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba. She grew up in a small village with her parents and older brother. From a young age, Ana showed a keen interest in the performing arts and would often participate in school plays and local theatre productions.
At the age of 14, Ana enrolled at the National Theatre School of Cuba, where she received formal training in acting. She graduated at the top of her class and was soon offered roles in various television shows and films in Cuba.
Breakthrough Role in "Una Rosa de Francia"
In 2006, Ana landed her breakthrough role in the Spanish film "Una Rosa de Francia," directed by the esteemed Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón. Ana's portrayal of Marie, a young Cuban woman caught in the throes of a passionate love affair, was her first exposure to a wider audience. Her performance was notable for its depth and nuance, effortlessly conveying the complexity of her character's emotions. This role allowed Ana to showcase her acting prowess, earning her recognition in the industry and paving the way for future opportunities.
Hollywood Debut and Rise to Stardom
After making her mark in Spain, Ana set her sights on Hollywood. She made her Hollywood debut in 2015 with the film "Knock Knock," where she starred alongside Keanu Reeves. Despite mixed reviews for the film, Ana's performance was praised for its intensity and authenticity, sparking interest from several renowned directors.
She went on to star in "War Dogs" and "Hands of Stone," further establishing herself as a versatile actress capable of diverse roles. However, it was her role in the critically acclaimed film "Blade Runner 2049" that truly catapulted her to international fame. Ana's portrayal of the holographic AI, Joi, was both poignant and compelling, earning her critical acclaim and recognition from audiences worldwide.
Recognition and Recent Endeavors
Ana's remarkable performances have not gone unnoticed. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the thriller "Knives Out," where she played a nurse entangled in a murder mystery. Her performance was hailed as a breakout, marking a significant milestone in her career.
Most recently, Ana de Armas starred in the much-anticipated James Bond film, "No Time To Die," where she played the role of Paloma, a CIA agent. This part allowed her to showcase her range, combining action, comedy, and drama effectively. It is clear that Ana's talent and versatility position her well for a long and successful career in Hollywood.
Off-Screen Life and Philanthropy
Off the screen, Ana is known for her down-to-earth personality and philanthropic efforts. She frequently uses her platform to raise awareness for various causes, including climate change and animal rights. Despite her fame, Ana remains deeply connected to her Cuban roots, often sharing her love for her home country and its culture with her fans.
Image: Instagram / Ana De Armas
Ana de Armas is a true testament to the power of perseverance and hard work. Her journey from a small town in Cuba to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood is truly inspirational. With her talent and dedication, there is no doubt that Ana de Armas is set for an even brighter future in the cinematic world. As we eagerly anticipate her future projects, one thing remains certain - Ana de Armas is a name that will continue to shine in Hollywood for years to come.

MENTIRAS QUE TE CUENTAS PARA DORMIR BIEN DE NOCHE
Es un Viernes creativo de nuevo.
Estamos en el taller de Juanita Echeverry, artista plástica especializada en arte en resina epóxica, ubicado en el barrio San Felipe, uno de los distritos artísticos de Bogotá.
Dentro de pocos minutos Santiago Sanmiguel será el encargado de darle una mirada creativa a Corruption, el tema del mes escogido a nivel global para CreativeMornings.
Apenas llega al lugar, aprovecho para conversar un poco con él.
Le pregunto qué es corrupción. “Es hacer trampa”, responde, luego de darle un sorbo a un termo.
Santiago es abogado de entretenimiento y brinda asesoría para proyectos culturales.
Su trabajo siempre ha tenido que ver con temas relacionados con propiedad intelectual y derecho comercial. Con él, ayuda a los artistas a tomar el control de sus proyectos.
Fue asesor de la gerencia del Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá y asesor legal de la Fundación Teatro Nacional.
Actualmente es el Global General Counsel de ONErpm, una plataforma de distribución digital de música e interrelación entre fans.
No puede vivir sin música. “¿Cuál es su banda favorita?”, le pregunto. “¿Hoy?”, responde al tiempo que ríe, pues no tiene una fija, sino depende de la temporada o época.
En este momento, por ejemplo, escucha mucho a Stories, una banda que se dedica a hacer covers . “Tienen uno buenísimo de Teenage DirtBag con Victoria Canal”, me cuenta.
Le pregunto si tiene alguna comida favorita, y responde que todo lo que cocina Natalia, su esposa, le parece delicioso.
Ella está a su lado, menciono si su respuesta no está condicionada por su presencia y jura que no, que hace poco, por ejemplo, preparó un risoni con tomates que le quedó espectacular.
Si tuviera que escoger un lugar en Bogotá sería la librería Wilborada, pues fue el lugar donde se casó con Natalia, y el libro que cree deberían leer todas las personas es Project Hail Mary de Andy Weir.
Pasadas las ocho de la mañana y cuando el lugar está lleno, Santiago pasa al frente para iniciar su charla titulada: ¿Cómo robamos en nombre del arte?
Para iniciar dice que todos, debido a un libro muy conocido en el ámbito creativo, nos creímos el cuento de robar como artistas.
Es una consigna muy revolucionaria, pero solo hay un problema con ella: el derecho. Santiago lo considera como el palo en la rueda de la creatividad, pues siempre está del lado de los intereses económicos, es decir, del dueño.
“Hay unas líneas en el piso que se deben seguir, y que dictan las reglas de cómo debemos jugar, ese es el derecho”, afirma.
Cree que lo que pasa a menudo es que las personas tienen problemas con esas líneas, pues a cada rato inventan unas nuevas, en vez de seguir las que ya existen.
“Para incorporar algo ajeno a nuestro trabajo, siempre hay formas legales de pedir permiso y pagar”, concluye.
Pero hay casos de casos. Unos que no tienen sentido, como el del tatuador que le exigió a una mujer tapar el tatuaje que le había hecho cuando saliera a marchar,porque no apoyaba su ideología, y otros como el mito de los 8 compases.
No es cierto que no se vayan a infringir los derechos de autor, si se copian menos de ese número de compases sin autorización.
“Se inventan esas reglas para poder dormir tranquilos por las noches”, dice.
Hay muy pocas líneas que se pueden cruzar, pero no en nombre del arte, sino cuando se trata de temas como la educación, la información y la libertad de expresión, nos cuenta.
Para concluir su charla comenta lo siguiente:
“Si entienden las líneas que están en el piso, van a poder crear más libremente”.
CreativeMornings/Bogotá le quiere dar las gracias a todas las personas y empresas que hicieron posible esta charla: A Juanita Echeverry por ser la anfitriona del evento, un lugar al que esperamos volver; a Osa Imagen por la producción audiovisual; a Arturo Borda por el registro fotográfico; a Stay Crafty por brindarnos un delicioso desayuno, y a ti por hacer parte de nuestra comunidad creativa y apoyar nuestros eventos.
Espera pronto información sobre nuestra charla de Abril bajo el tema Movement.
