"It's time for a round of #VideoRewind, a game that celebrates the now obsolete VHS cassette, which was pivotal to the first independent #FactionParadox novel This Town Will Never Let Us Go. For those who are unaware of them, Faction Paradox are a time-travelling cult whose one aim was to provide Lawrence Miles with an income when #DoctorWho Books got tired of him retiring all the time. Teams, I'd like you to give me the plots of stories watched on high-speed rewind. Barry?"

The kinship is most obvious with #FactionParadox, which gets an outright nod in a reasonably well-known Foundation piece, SCP-3999, but there are others. The ghost ship from VANDERDEKEN'S CHILDREN? The psychedelic hyperreality of THE SCARLET EMPRESS? The paintings from DEMONTAGE? All of THE ANCESTOR CELL? Extreme SCP Foundation shit

That time I went to a Faction Paradox anthology and said "hey will you publish a story told entirely in Beano-style comic script complete with The Reader talking to a murderer" and they said "here is some money": https://obversebooks.co.uk/product/faction-paradox-the-boulevard-volume-one/ #factionparadox #sffbooks #doctorwho

#FactionParadox are a fantastic invention in a book full of fantastic inventions, and time has shown there are thousands of stories you can tell about then. But The War was what fandom latched on to, and the expectation was always that we would see that war and find out who The Enemy were. Alien Bodies accidentally set the idea up that there was a twist ending coming up, but no-one - not even Miles - knew what the twist was.

Some tags to help find me. #doctorwho #obverse #sherlockholmes #hmfc #factionparadox #blackarchive

Anyway, good evening all. I'm a writer of #SF that mostly relates back to #DrWho somewhere along the line, including a very fine #theblackarchive and a #factionparadox novel. Pleased to meet you.

Oh also uh. Hi I'm Kara. I'm often #writing #scifi and #fantasy (I've worked on #factionparadox and #forgottenlives in addition to original stuff). And I do some #anime journalism as well. Looking to throw some #ttrpg ism into it since I already play a lot. Hi? Hi. Help what am I doing.

Would you like:
- #Horror tales?
- Black comedy farces?
- #alternatehistory ?
- #Comics essays?
- Weird #scifi ?
- a weird scifi #factionparadox story about comics?

Because I've written all that and want to sell it to you! #writing
