Shore Leave
Jul. 8th, 2026 07:21 pmmelaganAnyone going to Shore Leave in Lancaster PA? goddess47 and I are headed that way tomorrow for a long weekend.
Anyway, if you're going, I won't be hard to spot since my hair is a lovely Pegasus teal blue. Come say hi.
Be aware there could be a lot of blue-haired folk there, it is a sci-fi convention after all.
My grown kids are kindly not saying, " You're weird, Mom, but there's a definite pause before they say, "Have a good time." 😊ᐰ

Creating a GIF or a collage
Jul. 9th, 2026 05:36 amg_uava posting in fictional_fansI wrote about the different effects of creating a GIF (moving image) or a collage (compilation of multiple images into one static image out of frames from the same scene, which I thought might interest other photo editors. While writing it, I came across the Fanlore entry on the picspam that likens picspams to fanart. It's a first for me to see picspams described that way!
Children of Strife (Children of Time #4), by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Jul. 8th, 2026 10:04 amrunpunkrun"We call it a society. It involves coming to accommodations with others."
Goes backwards—and sideways—through time, looking at the events of the last three books from another set of perspectives. Introduces some new characters and locations, brings back some old ones, and does a great job of balancing epic world building with the minutiae of being a person in a society.
If you haven't read this series, you can't start here. And if you have, don't expect the corvids from the last book to join us for this one; Tchaikovsky seems to be switching up the way this series works.
Contains: BUGS (like huge gross bugs, plus the usual spiders and ants), GORE (just, guts, everywhere), BODY HORROR (guts and body parts in places they shouldn't be), animal harm.
