Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...
Well...maybe not an exact replica. I might want to change out the hues to be red-dominated...but I wouldn't need to look too far for inspiration. Another politician from the same planet indulged in this most Sith-like of color schemes. 😉
I think it might be because I went to the villa last April and it's only now truly sinking in. Yes, where Padmé got married is a real place: Villa del Balbianello. And having seen it in person I'm not sure if I could abide being married anywhere else than at that same spot.
It seems a person can get married there. It's expensive for a wedding venue, but since my dream wedding doesn't involve a crowd, that helps to keep costs down, so splurging on the venue might be more financially attainable than I'd expect.
This morning I made a last-minute decision to change the name of a new robot character in Frozen Heck, the fourth book in the Starship Teapot series. I really don't know why I ever called her anything else.
"Magic Moon" - Der 14. Captain-Future-Roman gehört zu denjenigen Erzählungen, die bislang nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind - dafür aber wurde er als Animé-Episode verfilmt (Titel: "Die Rolle seines Lebens")...
Subscribe to @InterzoneMag to read my new story, SIBILANCE, a queer homage to classic #sciencefiction set in outer space. Dr Hodei is in love with two spheres: 1) A gas giant called Jupiter & 2) his deceased nonbinary lover turned SEAX drone: Amaranth (both depicted in the magnificent cover art by @carlydraws ). 🪐🚀🇵🇷🏳️🌈
Bonjour les Mastonautes. Je profite de ce joli pont de Mai pour boucler les corrections de mon #roman#sf#spaceopera qui aurait dû partir chez l'éditrice à la fin du week-end dernier déjà.
Ce sera une journée placée sous les croisillons de #ecriture et du @cafe 🙂 ☕️ #mastolivre
I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon#Bookstodon#Scifi#ScienceFiction
Bonjour les Mastonautes. La journée sera consacrée aux corrections de mon prochain roman #SF#SpaceOpera pour les #editionsdu38. Je prendrai quand même un peu de temps dans la journée pour m'occuper de la maison, après tout le printemps est là. Un petit café ☕️ avec moi? #bonjour#cafe#mastolivre
#FrozenHeck has gone to @cknightwrites for the first stage of editing. Which means I now have four weeks to completely rebuild my website/store. From scratch. It's a bit of a gargantuan task. Eek!
