Thank you everyone for a wonderful World Fantasy 2025. A convention takes the committee, volunteers, artists, authors, editors, jurors and many others. Our special thanks of course goes to our guests: Suniti Namjoshi, Vincent Chong, Nick Landau, Vivian Cheung, Joanne Harris and Ramsay Campbell.
This probably encapsulates my WFC the most! Great conversations at Barcon! I need a Dry November after this π
That hygiene bar is holding on for dear life! π

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 4: Thereβs nothing wrong with writing fluff. Fluff insulates. It protects. It cocoons us from a world filled with sharp edges and sudden fires. It makes a warm bed to sleep on; builds soft ramparts; saves lives.
Sorry to have missed you at WFC! But massive congratulations!! π
It was so nice to meet you, Luke! I have just gotten home safe and well! π
What a whirlwind of a week! I'm so grateful for the many very open and friendly authors I have gotten to meet and catch-up with this week! There's too many to name, but you know who you are. You are all gems!

Ah I have a deja vu moment! I think I must've spoken to you about it before (sorry, mind is a sieve these days). I'll be heading down on Wednesday but let me know if you have some time to grab a coffee
Are you taking the train down? Well excited for it and would be lovely to catch up there π

For those who have been wondering, the video is in production, but will take a little longer to produce with other life responsibilities weaving their way into the folds of life
The Dumbledore Motherfuckers sticker is just golden!! π
I've just been introduced to the My Immortal goth Harry Potter fanfic.. What on earth? It must be satire surely. π€ (TW though if you're looking it up)
The Wuthering Heights trailer... Is it just me or... does it not seem like Wuthering Heights at all?
The face of a very satisfied, very tired book nerd who has gone out vlogging for the day. 14,000 steps, 7 bookshops... Content to come soon! #booktube #bookvlog
Two hours. A tricky chapter edited and expanded, readied for my feedback group. Good cappuccino. And most importantly, had the cogs in my brain turning about my story on my walk back
Woohoo @bethkesh.bsky.social !
Reminder for those looking to be in the programme π
There's no such thing as too much folklore research π
The ent putting out their burning branches is prime cinema for sure!
Animals pee and poo to mark their territory
