Armed with cigarettes and innocence, you went down, down, down
My poem "Acceptable Documentation," originally published in Sycorax Journal #1, has been nominated for the 2019 Rhysling Award. I am really pleased.
I dreamed about what I don't quite want to characterize as a haunted museum, presided over by a false and baleful moon. It had a dry chalky light. I remember the sea rolling in over stone steps, but it feels too pat to say the moon had brought it. Awake, I'm just flatteningly tired; I am trying to do very little with my afternoon. It's raining outside in one of those soft grey wandering ways. There's still snow under the bushes. Couple of links.

3. I strongly suspect that I don't really want to watch all seven seasons of Once Upon a Time for the sake of this gifset, but it's surprisingly tempting.

Thank you for all of this! I am charmed that the Cruella de Vil retelling is actually great.
I side-eye both the concept and the term "requel," I think.

Btw, I should be clear that, of course, the whole thing is nothing but fairy tale retelling; it's just that a lot of them play out in installments over a season or half a season (like Snow White, Peter Pan, Oz, Frozen etc.).

I think everybody else is calling it a soft reboot (although, really, it's basically a 1 series sequel piece), but I got the DVD for Christmas and listened to the (one!) commentary and they kept calling it that and I objected a lot. Smushnames have a lot to answer for!
