hey jupiter
it's a new year, yes it is
02 Jan, 2025
so I didn't have any plans to do one of those relefecting on the year that was kind of posts, and I still don't. But a couple of things happened recently that are vaguely New Years related, and so I thought it might be nice to write about them. Let's see if it is.
one hand in my pocket
on new years eve aka 31st of December I got an email from Alison saying that my short story, One Hand in My Pocket had been posted to the Long Trek Press website. Long Trek Press is a new science fiction + fatansy journal run by Alison and their fellow writer Rafeif Ismail, and was created to publish works by writers from Aotearoa and so-called 'Australia.' As they mention on their 'About' page, places for works that fall into the SFF genres are few and far between in our parts of the world. So I was really excited to find out that a story I was really proud of but was having trouble placing for exactly that reason had been accepted there.
