  • The Bards of Birchtree Hall – by Amanda Maynard-Schubert

    The Bards of Birchtree Hall – by Amanda Maynard-Schubert

    I haven’t really done reviews in the past – my editor brain gets in the way and it ends up being more a report than something useful to readers – but I couldn’t resist this one. Not only am I super excited to see a good friend succeed, but The…

  • For Nevermore – Furious Fiction September 2020

    Hi again – that’s right, two shorts in one day! After my *ahem* hilarious (?) attempt last month, this time it got a little dark again. The prompt was a visual (image looking off the back of a boat), with a requirement to start the first word with SHO, and…

  • Just a joke – Furious Fiction August 2020

    Hi all, its been a while. I’ve been deep in the rabbit hole of my dissertation, writing and rewriting. Looking forward to getting it done and getting some rest. . .or maybe signing myself up for another course. Because apparently I don’t like having any spare time. Just kidding. Not…

  • WordCon Day 5 – The Glorious End

    For previous days, links below. WorldCon Day 4 – and the, er. . .Hugos WorldCon Day 3 – and Brisbane 2025 WorldCon Day 2 – The Socialising. . .kind of WorldCon Day 1 – The Rambling After Saturday’s post though, I want to make something clear – for the vast…

  • WorldCon Day 4 – and the, er. . .Hugos

    Hey, so this is coming out a bit earlier than usual because I am absolutely exhausted and probably won’t have the capacity to do this later. Also, because I think its important to address my first ever Hugos, one in which I was able to participate in behind the scenes.…

  • WorldCon Day 3 – and Brisbane 2025

    WorldCon Day 3 – and Brisbane 2025

    Evening all! Another day, another early morning with tech and script checks for the Hugos. Really keen to see these done for real tomorrow, and REALLY hoping we can pull off the first digital-only ceremony with minimal hitches! Regarding the day’s events though, I had the pleasure of hearing local…

  • WorldCon Day 2 – The Socialising. . .kind of

    Evening all! Good news: The day 2 recap is a little more organised than Day 1. Bad news: . . . I did a bunch less stuff because I was hanging out in the chats, doing the whole socialising thing. But anyway, onto the day! First of all was a…

  • WorldCon Day 1 – The Rambling

    WorldCon Day 1 – The Rambling

    Hoooooo-kay. My first WordCon, Day One taught me a few things. First of all, waking up in excitement at 3am is not a good way to begin (so apologies for the inevitable typos and rambling). Also, I need to be far more organised, and while I want to get to…

  • Good/Bad Advice: Write what you know

    Fun bit of advice for anyone doing uni – READ THE ASSIGNMENTS! Turns out these journals I’ve been doing – which were the assessment piece for every other subject in this course – is not for this one. Its my own fault for making assumptions, but if I don’t need…

  • A Hero’s Journey – Furious Fiction May 2020

    I haven’t shared a Furious Fiction story for a little while – quite frankly, they didn’t make it past the internal Quality Control assessments to justify making them public. This story was different for a couple reasons – first of all, it felt like it hit all the buttons I…
