Creative Writing: Wishling

This was written back in 2005/2006, long before I wanted to really focus on writing. The artwork associated with this started with a simple 3d render in Daz Studio 3 (that really dates this project) and was recreated in Daz Studio 4. Both versions of the artwork are included, with the original character design render at the beginning, and the finalized version at the end. Please do leave constructive criticism, I know the writing is quite juvenile, but it was literally twenty years ago. - […]

Marie Howalt: A Study in Black Brew

[German version below] [EN] Transparency note: I was given this as an e-arc. It has got decorative initials! Of course, this isn't a per se argument for or against a book, but I love initials at chapter beginnings and I have no idea why this isn't the standard anymore. I'm not even asking for medieval all-out fancy, artistic illustrations in letter-form - just enlarge that first letter, and there you go. Now for the actual content: This isn't the first time I've read A Study in Black […]

A recent #isBrill project of mine is a campaign to promote how good #SoftSciFi as just as good as "hard" #SciFi.

Who here is willing to say "I too love soft sci-fi"?

Soft Sci-Fi Is Brill

Hard Sci-Fi is not the only game in town It doesn't have to be hard Sci-Fi to be good Sci-Fi. Soft Sfi-Fi is brill too. If you love soft Sci-Fi write I too love soft Sci-Fi in the comments section. Sci-Fi updates I've taken to sharing short-form fiction, narration, and book reviews that I find…

I'd appreciate a boost to help me find wonderful future conversation partners.

@stux That is the difference between #hardscifi and #softscifi

#starwars isn't #scifi IMO, it's just a #space #fantasy or maybe #sff.
