Here's a preview of what's coming this month from Androids & Dragons!

Last week's story in Androids & Dragons was something a little bit different in that it's not TRULY speculative. It's main characters only wish it was.
This one's a hilariously entertaining read.

We went through it in 2007 to 2008. Some consulates were pretty slow, but I think for most people, it was under 2 years.
I'm sure it is much worse now.
I mean, if the idea is that the whole thing happens in 90 days, that was never reality.
To be fair, it was ALWAYS a very time-consuming process, although how much time depended on which US processing center you went through for you I 129 F (Vermont was faster than California) and which consulate for the actual visa. Ours took about 8 months.
Such a gorgeous photo!!
In this week's story, Aphrodite visits NYC.
"Humans think they can heal their mistakes with kisses. Aphrodite is love’s goddess; she knows it will take far more to mend this world.
But for a first step, it’s a good one."

New this week from Androids & Dragons! Another fun story that turns fantasy tropes on their head. What happens when the new Duke gives the entire duchy the day off and a dragon crashes the party?

This week's new story is another fun tale that turns traditional fantasy tropes on their head. Keira Reynolds' "Demoness" may not be what she appears!

Today's new story offers a fun twist on some classic fantasy tropes as seen through the eyes of delightful characters who, as the author notes, are usually left out of fantasy tales. The link is in his thread (I think).

I love stories that offer a different take on fantasy tropes! This one was so much fun.
There are a lot more important things happening in the world, many of them awful, but here is a sweet story about a dog trying to get through the scariest night of the dog year.

New at Androids & Dragons! This week's story asks what makes a person themselves? If you separate the consciousness of someone you love from their body, is it still them?

He has a point!
Here's a look at what's coming from Androids & Dragons this summer!

In today's new story, a dragon helps a young woman escape peril in exchange for a story about the world outside his hiding place, a world they both wish were kinder.

Good doggie
The words "NO kings" appear under an image of an orange crown with a red X over it, all against a blue background.
Happy No Kings Day to those who celebrate!

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.
With a pandemic raging, could Felinites, a maligned minority, have the answer?
We live in terrifying times, but if you take time out to read this ultimately uplifting story, you won't regret it.
Joy is a form of resistance.

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard
Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”
Apparently, he posted this despite the fact that the National Guard had not yet been deployed to Los Angeles. That's how incredibly fucking stupid and dishonest he is.
But also, yeah, things will get ugly.
Happy Pride from Androids & Dragons!
Maxine's efforts to save the "filed things" may be the focus of the story, but the support of her wife leads to the story's happy ending. We should all have great partners like Maxine's!

Not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier, now, are they?
The emu is sitting near an open window, watching people. It turns to dip its beak into the large coffee on the table. Next to the coffee is a half-eaten sesame seed bagel. Of course, it’s something with seeds. What else would a bird order in a coffee shop?

Includes my story "Birds of a Feather" about what happens when birds strike up conversations with cafe-goers and commuters in New York City.
Can't wait to read all the other offerings!
