I'm so upset not to be at FantasyCon because the complete nuisance I would have made of myself, Peter F Hamilton wouldn't go anywhere all weekend without me heckling and booing. I would absolutely use the power of autism to give zero fucks if I'm upsetting him.

I love Asimov's Science Fiction and the magazine's editors. I've published many stories in the magazine. I subscribe to the magazine. Despite that, I'm done with the new MRM owners. This statement is BS. The new owners have squandered the goodwill of their magazines' readers, writers, and fans. 1/

Re-posting this because from all the "yay Canada, this is good" responses, I see I didn't strongly enough stress the main point I meant to make, which is that well-intentioned efforts like this that rely solely on the honor system are essentially meaningless

Look. We both know you're doing social media at work. That's what you do. You'll take the weekend off.

Which means today is your last day to back #twistedPresents. Grab it now, or lament missing your chance when you come back Monday.

Ooh, Harley Quinn, though.

This is a result someone else got, and at least it does mention my book as a secondary bullet point ... but the rest is Very Wow. But so confident and detailed! Very convincing! Mostly entirely wrong!

Google AI summary claiming incorrectly that "Daughter, Dreamer, Slayer" has to do with a quote from poet Nikita Gill, or that it might have to do with a couple of anime and manga series.
@lucyasnyder.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 7:42 PM

Google AI summaries are not to be trusted. Case in point: all actual references on the web to "Daughter, Dreamer, Slayer" point to my forthcoming novel. And yet the AI summaries related to searches on that title have been confidently and completely wrong for days.

Screencap of Google's AI claiming my novel is a Buffy tagline.Google's AI claiming my forthcoming adult horror book is actually a YA novel from a different author.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today.
www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Now I've heard there is a secret chant An author sings to increase her chance But you don't really care for novels, do ya? It summons fiends from the dark abyss who somehow smell of lepidobotrys The baffled editor sings Hallelujah Hallelujah ....

Out of curiosity, where are you seeing that he has published novels? There's nothing about that on his website, and I'm not getting any hits on his name at HarperCollins. Or does he have a pseudonym you know about and I don't?
