@scalzi I'm looking forward to this!
@scalzi Presumably exclusive to Amazon for now? Do you know if this might get published elsewhere eventually?

@scalzi This sounds cool, John. I'm familiar with your work, and I'm a huge fan of Anne Leckie. I look forward to getting to know the work of the other authors!

@scalzi your title totally reminds me of “Slow music for fast times” from https://v4.HOS.com/about

I look forward to reading your story.

@scalzi really looking forward to this
@scalzi Your cover looks super cool and if you have James on the project it’ll be a banger!
@scalzi nice! Love short stories!

@scalzi @ann_leckie if only Amazon wasn’t trying to kill my local bookstore. Let me know when it is available in a non-Amazon format and I will gladly give you and your fellow authors my money.

Still buying your other books at my bookstore of course!

@scalzi
what a lineup, sounds good
