"Non-heteronormative" sex is only shocking to constipated dipshits like Orson Scott Card these days. I'd say the general sci-fi community—at least the transhumanist wing of it—wouldn't even blink an eye at Cthulhu tentacle-banging a pleasure droid equipped with every known for of terrestrial genitalia. Ain't nothin'

GW are a bunch of complete cunts when it comes to their intellectual property...which is a shame, considering that WH40K is one of *the* most popular sci-fantasy settings EVER and generates a metric tonne of fan-made content every day. They simply cannot police it all, but they sure do try—and do nothing but turn fans

Who the hell uses a *desktop* email client anymore, let alone one you have to *pay* for?!

I've been wanting to write a story about a person with body-identity dysmorphia for a while now. Only he wants to have his head amputated, because it's not actually his REAL head!

I am singularly unimpressed. Humans have inhabited this planet for millennia, and yet their level of technology is scarcely more advanced than the early 21st Century? What did they do—suffer some kind of catastrophe that destroyed their entirely manufacturing/R&D base? I can't imagine how they could've gotten to Nova

Uhhh...this is prettymuch my life *right now.*

"Ta-Nehisi Coates" is one of the coolest names I've ever seen!

These things have been a staple of near-future sci-fi since, like, the late '90s. And guess what? They're here! We're literally living in a world of near-future sci-fi.

I learned that might makes right...but there are many, many forms of "might" that are far more effective than physical prowess or violence. Never underestimate the power of intimidation and threat. Usually just pulling a gun out of your pocket is all that needs to be done to defend yourself against the aggression of

Science has given you a mandate: unstable conditions produce the greatest technological breakthroughs and drive human evolution. We don't need stability—we need MORE war! MORE chaos! MORE climate change! The only thing that forces humans to advance is clear and present threats.

Kinda/sorta vaguely reminds me of Beyond The Black Rainbow—probably THE best completely out-there mindfuck movie I've seen in a while! EXCELLENT music in it.

I live south of Pittsburgh. There's an entire mountain range between me and the Atlantic ocean. You coastal-living suckers better Dutch-up on your dike-building skillz, though.

I *always* play Neutral characters—usually lawful, sometimes Chaotic. Chaotic Neutral characters are the most fun to play, hands down!

I think I've already covered *most* of these in my Post-Human Universe, but I need to work on Numbers 5 and 10. There most definitely are Giant Objects, though!

Don't worry—I'll keep on dumpin' on awful fanfic "writers" so you don't have to!

Uncle Sava's finally loose again?! Shit, I need to get a plane ticket now—you haven't partied until you've spent a weekend with Sava Sonofabitch. Jesus. He hasn't been "trapped" for the last hundred years—that's just how long he's needed to deal with the hangover from his *last* binge! I ain't missing this for all the

Will it be as dull and tedious as the novel? Perhaps not, as it's only going to be a six-episode series...when it very easily could've been a 20-episode series.

Ummm...let's see—in the last *one hundred years* (1912-2012) we have seen human technology and civilization advance more than it ever has in the ENTIRE rest of human history combined. Sure, the vast majority of people aren't early-adopters, and it takes a while for technological advances that really change the world

I will gladly test-pilot one of the betas!
