Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Can't reply to that directly 'cause of thread permissions, excuse the workaround.
I have thousands of hours in Warframe, but that's probably not what y'all want.... 😁
Let me sift through the free stuff and see which ones I've played.

While they are adorable and I'm always delighted to encounter them, I wish house geckos would stop attempting to colonize my house. I have two apex predators who think they are the best toys ever.
Found this little guy in the middle of my kitchen, luckily before either cat.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

So. many. options. I shall limit myself to three.
The Neverending Story, gifted to me at age 7. So MUCH more to it than the movie, and it goes even harder as an adult. (City of Lost Emperors is downright chilling these days, too many loved ones with dementia.)

My dad was raised speaking (Texas) German, and I remarked I wished I'd spent more time trying to learn it from him as a kid.
This morning he called to suggest this video might be worth watching.
I have no idea what I just watched, Dad, but boy those ladies aren't wearing much.
