It’s beginning to feel a lot like list-mas.

Both @timakers.bsky.social and @jeremyteg.bsky.social on this @fanfiaddict.bsky.social list. Will it be our last Daily Double of 2025? Will you read The Last Dragon Knight and Tower of the Tyrant before the year is out?

December 2025. Let’s start a new book today (already contracted)

Stop CEOs

As always, I find Swan’s most casual lines the most delightful:

“I shall return to what came next, for there is a great deal of very mortal brutality about to unfold.”

-Tyranny of Faith

Twelve years after her passing, and in an entirely different state, a wild Phae hair has appeared

My brain has been mulling the intersection of Tolkien’s service in WWI, the game Trench Crusade, and what LotR would have been in that timeline

Living your best life and being the best version of yourself are often mutually exclusive ideals

It's almost comedic. And sustainable!

I've lived in Tennessee for just over two weeks. I love it here. It's the best move we've ever made.
BUT
These are the worst drivers I have ever seen

Thanks! It’s going great so far

We just moved to Chattanooga from Chicago. It was quite a surprise!

The north dropped by last night to say hello. Aurora borealis over the skies of Tennessee

An ugly win is still a win #GoBears

Me, moving to TN: Man, I can't wait to never deal with an HOA again

Me, after a week in TN: So, are they just going to leave their trash cans out all week, or...

The Lowdown was *incredible*

The view from the new office.

In a final act of vengeance from the state of Illinois, our i-Pass account refreshed this morning

Thirty-three (and a half!) years ago, this fountain witnessed the first moments of our relationship. We had to come by one last time before we moved to wish it well!

Chris Pratt: I rolled a seven!

Sam Jackson: I have HAD IT with these manger-fording robbers on my meadow-fracking tiles!

Jack Black, in annoying voice: I have wood for sheep! Anyone? Wood for sheep?

Keanu Reeves: Wait, whose turn is it?

It got some advertising, but I can’t remember where I saw it. Maybe bundled with something I was streaming? So it was very narrow band. I think they knew it wasn’t going to be a blockbuster

One Battle After Another: Why this year's most acclaimed film flopped Paul Thomas Anderson's political thriller One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has been critically acclaimed, but won't break even at the box office.

There are some interesting parallels here with trad publishing

I'm pleased to announce that Baen has formally reverted the rights to Wraithbound. This means I'm free to start producing books two and three (once I write them, ahem). There are good things in the works, my friends. Good things indeed!

US corporate spending on private flights for executives has ballooned in recent years The median expense spent by America’s largest companies on air travel jumped 66% from 2020 to 2024....

In case you've forgotten that corporations are the actual villains

One of the best fantasies I’ve read in a decade. Loved the whole trilogy.
