I like it!
@MicroSFF "Go forth, my little bookworm virus!"
@MicroSFF Wait’ll they find out about cliffhangers. Meanwhile Seanan McGuire and Jim Butcher start switching off year for year as masters of the galaxy.
@CautionWIP @MicroSFF Please, I wouldn't want to subject Seanan or Jim to that. That seems cruel
@MicroSFF @numberw1tch Our taxes would all go to constructing corn mazes or researching new adjectives to describe attractive women, depending on which overlord was in power.
@MicroSFF
That's just one of your best!
I love it.
@khzimmer2 @MicroSFF Totally agree!
@MicroSFF
Very neat! Nice story!
@MicroSFF I am in the firm belief that the most important interstellar trade good may well be art.
