Is James Patrick Kelly on Mast?

Is Justina Robson?

Is Greg Egan?

Or Megan E O'Keefe?

I feel immensely privileged to have found John Shirley on here, who I've read and idolised for decades. It's made me wonder - who else is on here?

Just played with #ChatGPT. Asked it to write a short science fiction story. To all in the #WritingCommunity, you'll be glad to know, it was rubbish. Good to see we're not out of a job quite yet. #SFWA #BSFA #SciFi #Books #Art

Enjoying listening to @niallharrison talking to Nina Allan for the launch of his new collection All these Worlds: Reviews and Essays @BriardeneBooks. So much came out of the #BSFA Vector editorial blog, Torque Control, an inspiration for me and many others. #Conversation2023

John wants new gloves, Alison is foreshadowing, and Liz scrolls past spiders. We discuss a plethora of awards – Hugo Awards, Nebula Awards, BSFA Awards – while also chatting about hot dog finger gloves and Adrian “Spiders" Tchaikovsky.
