(Note: in Gerard O'Neill's original proposal, he suggested an very long diameter of up to 8km, but NASA scientists have more recently proposed as little as 500m. Larger radii allow for lower rotation speeds to reduce discomfort, but what speeds/gravity would be ideal is still an open question.)

Did you know that on an O'Neill Cylinder, your biggest concern about being seen by bystanders isn't people standing nearby, but people looking upwards at the opposite end of the cylinder? I think a lot of science fiction writers don't know this and they ought to

it didnt create the fantasies of being edged in a park by an older woman, but it certainly encouraged them

this is a fun read with really enjoyable chemistry between the two leads. If there's one thing that Christine Love has always excelled at, it's playing with the reader's expectations.
It does, however, break from the established Loviverse and has 0 (zero) *AI characters.
Highly recommended tho

For one more day, my new book Star Sword Nemesis is 10% off its normal price of $5! On the edge of the solar system, a group of dreamers and believers in human transcendence fight against the tyranny of the Earth Sphere, to protect the Voyager 1 probe that NASA sent into the stars so many years ago.

People keep describing this book as "horny" but all I know is I keep reading science fiction books with insanely sexy premises that inexplicably don't fuck and I made a vow that I would ALWAYS show the courage to follow through on what would simply be the most appropriate thing for the narrative

And thank you so much to the 450 people who have bought Star Sword Nemesis in its first week! I really hope you enjoy meeting Eris and Comet Halley as much as I loved self-indulgently writing about them 😌

if you've read nemesis you have to say something nice about it please. books don't get the same reach as games so I'm going crazy over here I NEED EVERYONE TO MEET MY GIRLS

an sf work inspired by Arthur C Clarke (why do we imagine that the future of human consciousness will be stagnant while dreaming of other advances?), Heaven Will Be Mine (what ideologies will be invented outside of Earth's gravity?), and Gundam (wouldn't an enemy ace with big glasses be sexy?)

The wild typesetting in the print version is sooooooooo cool, I liked it a lot

Christine Love @christinelove.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah but like for example Zeta doesn’t include any of the fun Mamoru Nagano freaks because they don’t have a superfluous “Gundam” in the name… whereas post-G ”Gundam” inflation is so big that every random side character suit technically has it in the name

Christine Love @christinelove.bsky.social · 2d

it's unfair that this only includes the most boring UC entries because nearly every other continuity slaps the name "Gundam" on everything instead of just the safest hero variations

I think those interacting with my Nemesis posts with Gwitch yuri avatars will be happy, those with HWBM avatars will be even happier, and the people with Char on a lesbian pride flag will be happier still; but I hope the person with the My Girlfriend's Not Here Today avatar is the happiest of all
