In my ancient history, when I was learning about antiparticles while studying physics, I pondered what other 'impetuses' might have particle-antiparticles. Eventually those ponderings evolved into my story "Blobs of Luck" which you can read in the latest edition of www.utopiasciencefiction.com

Since it is apparently eligibility reminder season, I published one novelette in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social , one short story in @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social , and one poem in @utopiascifi.bsky.social last year. I would be honored if you considered any of them for appropriate awards.

As we move towards our Cozy Science Fiction Issue, we're thinking about the kinds of worlds we'd like to live in so we'd like to pose that age old question: would you rather be a jedi in the Star Wars Universe or an elf in Middle Earth? #lotr #starwars

Figure detail of TABLETOP RAMBLER padding in profile along rocky terrain. Its front paw is poised to take a step, moving in unison with one back leg that has just parted from the ground. With long ear pinned back against its body, there’s a sense of motion.
Facial detail of TABLETOP RAMBLER featuring the head of the creature with eyes glowing, a dot of green focused past the full salmon pink moon and off panel left.
Subsequent conversations over the next day or two gave me time to add a moon and other details, employing the colors I had on hand at the moment.
He looks determined to make his way, and I’m betting he has a sizable appetite. Better steer clear of him! 4/4
