non illi imperium pelagi saevumque tridentem
My very short story "Imperator Noster" has been accepted by Jaym Gates for Genius Loci: Spirit of Place. Check out this table of contents! I know people in it; they're great! I'm looking forward to reading the people I don't know! I believe this sudden access of exclamation points is fully justified!
Seriously, I am very happy about this: it looks like a brilliant lineup and I've never been in an anthology with original interior art before. There will be a Kickstarter to fund the authors and the artists, so I will announce those details as soon as they exist. My story is not in Latin, but it is set in imperial Rome. The title is on the model of Mare Nostrum.
(In the meantime, did you know that Stone Bird Press' An Alphabet of Embers is 80% funded with just two weeks to go? Five dollars, ten, twenty for the pair of e-books. Don't let it stall before it can spark to flight.)
There is good art in this world. I am glad to be reminded.
[edit] Speaking of which! Does anyone know if the Pet Shop Boys' Turing opera is live-streaming anywhere tonight? I am not well-versed in the ways of listening to radio on the internet. (If not, all is not lost:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosefox, blessed among dandies, has just sent me the link to the eventual video. Thank you!)
[edit edit] BBC Radio Three. I am currently listening to some sitar music, which the internet informs me is Jasdeep Singh Degun. This might work after all.

Thank you! I really want to read it!
(If you turn on BBC Radio Three right now, Neil Tennant is just introducing Chrissie Hynde, who is going to sing four Pet Shop Boys songs arranged by Angelo Badalamenti. I'm so happy this is working.)

So it was more like a Turing oratorio than a Turing opera, but I regret nothing!

And excellent news about An Alphabet of Embers!

Rest assured, I will tell everyone! I've read
And excellent news about An Alphabet of Embers!
I believe it will be funded, but I want it funded now. It has the potential to be something truly amazing.
