This kickstarter for "An anthology of contemporary fantasy stories featuring creatures and characters from Welsh mythology and folklore" from an excellent small press looks fantastic.

Less than £1000 to go now. It feels like we are on the final stretch. Can we get there by BristolCon?

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd). The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left. Art by Josh Arklin.

I know it isn’t even Halloween. But if you’re writing Christmas stories now, it’s getting late!
How Dickens made Christmas white

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have

To say

Don’t bait them.

pay them DUST.

Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them
