“Sentimental Value” is my paean to the notion that, even in our glorious transhumanist future, we’re probably going to have to deal with the little things in day to day life. Also, that people who are in glorious transhumanist futures are probably not going to wander around all day breathlessly going “Hey! How about that Singularity, huh?” …OK, wait, some of them probably will. Somebody always does.
“Peacework” could have maybe benefited by a few more words. The pun in the title and the examples used can only be stretched so far to hint at the larger point. Ach, well, this is how I learn.
I don’t subscribe to all that many, myself. But I do subscribe to some; and I’d thought that I’d give three (four) Patreons that I’d suggest that you try, and why you should sign up for them. Even if it’s at the buck level.

PS: What? Geez. The fourth Patreon would be ME, of course. Surely that was obvious?
I was the one who wrote ‘Legacy,’ and I still don’t know whether this was a reward, or a subtle punishment. I flip-flop on it from sentence to sentence, honestly. How much does anybody really want to know about just how he’ll be seen?
I knew once what the larger point of “Coileain Chumhacht” was, but it eludes me. I’m pretty sure that it had something to do with a Something Positive cartoon, though. I think.
It’s got all the foolishness that a discerning Patron – a Patron like you – could want. A mere dollar a month gives you access to it all: stories, gaming material, the occasional poem. It’s a bargain! Truly, I am foolish myself to give this all away so cheaply. Sign up now!
“Emergency Repairs” is… well, it’s a little goofy. But not zany or chipper. And it avoids gonzo because it’s a little too linear.
That’s right: my Patreon! It’s the best gift, because it’s the gift that gives back to you! For as little as $1 per month you get short stories, gaming material, and other creative work. And so many more rewards are ahead! Get in on the ground floor, folks!
Well, “Situational Horror” can best be described as ‘experimental,’ which is often author-speak for ‘something you’ve written that you expect to implode.’ Hey. I’m as guilty of that sort of thing as anybody else. Although I didn’t really know that it was going to implode.
And Beer Barrel Poker was the more normal one, that week. Whatever ‘normal’ means, in this context. Sometimes I don’t know, either.
