Linkspam: TFFX Kickstarter

TFFX is a kickstarter that may interest folks around here. It's for an anthology celebrating 10 years of The Future Fire magazine (same folks who just released the Accessing the Future anthology of disability focused Spec Fic). The plan is to for a mix of old and new, with various other anthologies thrown in at the different contribution levels. I went for the $12 level, which gets me e-copies of TFFX and 'the Lowest Heaven', an anthology of stories set around the solar system with a pretty good list of contributors, though I actually think the $20 option is the best value as that gets you five anthologies, but I've already got three of those.

The kickstarter has a fortnight left to run and is about halfway to its $2000 funding goal. Details here

Kickstarted

As part of getting the new laptop up and running I've been going through my huge pile of unread emails and binning stuff that's no longer relevant. The final sub-category of stuff I knew was still relevant was a bunch of Kickstarter messages for a few things I've supported in the last year, so I went through last night reading them and downloading various things I was now entitled to.

Goodies now waiting to to be read: Accessing the Future, Queers Destroy SF, Women Destroy SF, Women Destroy Fantasy, Woment Destroy Horror, and I still have a bunch of Lightspeed and Fantasy magazine credits to redeem (if anyone has any specific issue recommendations let me know,. otherwise I'll probably go for the most recent).

Goodies already read: Two linked and illustrated short stories in K B Spangler's  A Girl and Her Fed/Rachel Peng universe, both are about Shawn, one of the agents who lost their minds during the cyborg process, and relate the same incident from different perspectives, managing to go from heartbreaking to laugh out loud funny as we get to understand why Shawn ended up in a fight during a therapeutic outing to a bowling alley with Rachel.

Still to come, but now up to date: The Schlock Mercenary Roleplaying Game.
