After many years on Twitter I'm here because I need two places to message into the void.

Someone needs to explain to me why #Amazon can publish all those A.I. generated ebooks and I can't get my #sciencefiction BDSM romance published because it's too "edgy".
Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing Rebel Moon. I just want something that's exciting that I'll enjoy watching more than I did that last atrocity of a Star Wars film. It's not too much to ask.

When I want to read a sizeable #sciencefiction series all I want is a list of the damned novels in publication order. That's it. I don't want charts and graphs with elbowed in novellas and shorts stories I'll never find. I don't want byzantine lists of internal chronology orders. I just want the damned novels in the damned order they were published.
I'm at the final episode of Season 2 of #StarTrek Discovery and I have yet to understand what it is that people don't like about this program. I'm often at the edge of my seat. It's got emotional moments. It's got wow moments. Good cliffhangers. Is it centered around Michael Burnham? Yes. Do I care? If it makes me want to watch the next episode then the answer is that's all I care about. So far terrific show for this fan since TOS.

Why the hell would you go #hiking in 130 degree temperatures without being sure you could remotely survive it?
