Boundary Shock Quarterly 33
Neon and Nebulas
The theme was bright lights of cyberpunk meets space.
I delivered a swarzy tale of Captain Lumen and the lightship Sirius escaping a Nazziren darkweb in The Brightest Star.

Merging the aesthetic of neon-drenched cyberpunk cities with the grandeur of space opera. Take it back to those fantastic art covers from the Sixties and Seventies, where all things seemed possible…

I would really like people to take this into account. Yes, arguably some of the worst people are not conventionally attractive in some way or another, but focusing on that and not their behavior, lack of empathy and compassion, only tears down everyone around you who shares that physical trait.
I'm just going to say a thing.
What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

I thought that was a picture of Ross Scott from Accursed Farms/Stop Killing Games and got so worried.
It always strikes me, in news items about AI licensing schemes and/or startups, how often authors are simply not mentioned: it's all about making things easy for publishers. Writers will need to fight their publishers--not just the AI companies www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Are you neurodivergent? Have you been belittled, hated, and condescended to for being who you are? I know I can’t be the only one. That’s why I wrote The Monsters Among Us, to flip the mental health narrative on its head and empower others like me.

Goes even more for writers, tbh, since you can make a book cover that's just a plain color with some text on it and it can still look striking.
And even if it doesn't, it still feels genuine, which is arguably even more important.
