Flash Fiction: ‘What We Are’ by Laria Raven

“A vodka, if you’d be so kind. And some… some of those little sausage things. On sticks.” “Coming right up, ma’am. How was your day?” “Oh. Was it a day? I know we keep day and night on the station, but when you’re out in the belts… the light never Read more…

Introducing ‘Something, Something, Spaceships!’ – A New Podcast

I’ve long had a hankering to return to podcasting after my overly ambitious attempt at a lore-based audio drama faded into antiquity in 2012.

(Recital) Mark726’s ‘Twas the Night Before Crucible

The hours before an EVE Online patch-day makes its players write and behave strangely.
