Live in BCS #451 Science-Fantasy Month 8 and podcast BCS 358: "Hollow in The Hope" by @aimeeogden ; podcast guest-narrated by @tinaconnolly .

"Sel stares at the imprint. She stares back—unblinking, unmoved, unalive—until Sel can’t bear the silence provoked by this stubborn algorithm for a moment longer. They roll away. “Hopeless,” they say. “I don’t even dare hope for a better father.”"

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Hollow in The Hope by Aimee Ogden

For whatever time they have left, they will have to make their own companionship. They should use those hours wisely, and not in seeking counsel—or worse, comfort—from a woman long dead. “I accept the warning,” Sel says. They need someone to talk to. Someone who might understand. “Proceed.”

Live in BCS #448 and podcast BCS 357: "Sing" by Jules Bly,

"Sing. Sing the world into being. Every action, every object, in the past and the present and the future, is in the song. As long as these events are known and described by the song of all things, they will continue to exist. The song is carried by one voice at a time. Right now, it is your voice. Do not stop singing. If your voice fails, the world vanishes."

As we near year's end, a look back at BCS stories of 2025!

"The Crow's Second Tale" by @MarissaLingen , BCS #445 and podcast BCS 354.

"So Kiris knew, even at the age of five: no one should only know one story. Not even a crow, like in the song. And if she was the only one who had spotted the problem, she felt down to her five-year-old bones that she would have to be the one to fix it."

Je replonge dans ce qu'on appelait les Sagas mp3, et qu'on appelle maintenant Podcast de fiction. Sauf que je ne retrouve pas une saga moins connue qui s'appelle "La IIIe Légion". Ni dans mes disques, ni sur le net (sauf dans un gros fichier youtube de près de 3h, pas très pratique à écouter). Le site semble avoir été piraté et personne ne semble avoir uploadé les fichiers autrement. Y'en a à qui ça cause et qui aurait les fichiers sous le coude à me partager ?

Live in BCS #432 & podcast BCS 347 (guest-narrated by @SummerFletcher ): "Unbeaten" by @GraceSeybold .

"“Let me teach you revolution,” I begged them, each new boy or girl who plied the ox-goad as my metal blade drew our furrows in the field. They listened eagerly enough to my stories, then grew into adults who cowered and simpered in public, and complained in private, and did nothing."

Live in BCS #429 & podcast BCS 345: "The Midwife in the Palace of the Forest King" by @jelenawrites Dunato.

"Katarina, who had seen her share of premature deaths said, “Nonsense. I’m not a physician, I don’t cut live women open.” Still, death was coming for Vlasta, diving like a hawk on its dark wings. The baby hadn’t set into the birth position; Katarina could see it moving under the paper-thin skin of Vlasta’s belly."
