Are you telling me I'm on somebody's mind?

I can't believe this year is over. I can't believe this year. I maintained my website and my presence on AO3 and wrote new work and was kept too much from sleep and it does not feel like twelve months either way.

I published two new pieces of fiction this year, both of importance to me:

"Twice Every Day Returning" in Uncanny Magazine #61, November 2024.
"Hyperboloids of Wondrous Light" in Not One of Us #81, December 2024.

Some new poetry, the same:

"Hagstone" in Not One of Us #78, March 2024.
"Penis Secrets of the Anunnaki" in Nightmare Magazine #141, June 2024.
"The Same Fur Coat" in Strange Horizons 8/5/24 , August 2024.
"Fair Exchange" in Not One of Us #80, September 2024.
"A Long Time Afterward" in Nightmare Magazine #144, September 2024.
"Amitruq Nekyia" in Strange Horizons 10/7/24, October 2024.
"Sheela-na-Gig" in Weird Fiction Quarterly Fall 2024: Masquerade, November 2024.

A couple of meaningful reprints:

"The Choices of Foxes" in All in Among the Briars: An Anthology of Mythic Wonder (ed. Julia Rios), June 2024.
"Sheela-na-Gig" in Weird Fiction Quarterly: Holiday 2024, December 2024.

I wrote one piece of fanfiction that made it as far as AO3 and left the rest of the fills in place:

"One More Game of Chivalry" (The File on Thelma Jordon), January 2024.

I wrote painfully so much less than I wanted for Patreon:

Easy to Get (1947), January 2024.
"Man on a Mountaintop" (The United States Steel Hour, 1961), February 2024.
Channel Incident (1940), March 2024.
Foreign Correspondent (1940), March 2024.
Rear Window (1954), March 2024.
The Forty-Niners (1954), March 2024.
Why Girls Leave Home (1945), April 2024.
The High and the Mighty (1954), April 2024.
T-Men (1947), May 2024.
The Big Trail (1930), May 2024.
We Who Are Young (1940), May 2024.
Dunkirk (1958), June 2024.
The Kiss (1929), June 2024.
The Lottery (1969), June 2024.
The Falcon and the Co-eds (1943), July 2024.
To Kill a King (1980), September 2024.
The Phantom Light (1935), September 2024.
The Girl Who Couldn't Quite (1950), September 2024.
The Keeper (1983), October 2024.
Watcher (2022), October 2024.
Tank Patrol (1941), November 2024.
"Hung High" (Gunsmoke, 1964), November 2024.
Lake George (2024), December 2024.
Exit (2012), December 2024.

I cannot say at the end of this year that we are all still here: we lost Autolycus. But you must say that Alexander lives and reigns or his siren-sister will wreck your sailing and Hestia was sharing slices of lox with me earlier this evening and I want the rest of us to stay that way. Happy New Year. A healthy, a safe one. Mir zaynen af tselokhes.

Hugs for you.
BITES FOR THE REST.

You should be proud; every column-inch and pixel was love and blood and spite.

*hugs*

And also congratulations at managing to write, not only anything, but a set of extremely beautiful anythings, during what really seems to have been an horrendous year.

I am glad you are still here. ♥

That is a list to be proud of.

I hope this year brings peace...

I'm glad you wrote all these things (not because of their quantity, which is a dangerous and depressing way in which to measure ourselves), but because your words were a good thing this year, and I'm happy I got to read some of them. <3

Here's to staying here out of spite! *hugs*

Happy New Year! You may have wanted to write more of them, but you wrote a lot of great movie reviews.
