Hello all! I hope you are well! Just surfacing from hibernation to post a couple of things about This is How You Lose the Time War:

It was one of my favourite books of 2020 and I wrote a fic for [personal profile] kingstoken for Chocobox 2021. Like most book fandoms, it's fairly niche - the fic has had about 200 hits and at least 20 of those are me. 😅 But I guess it has had a resurgence of sorts because of a Trigun fan with the handle Bigolas Dickolas Westwood on twitter:

TLDR: BNF of an anime tweeted about loving the book, and it went viral. So much so that the publisher noticed and the book is now on sale for $8.79 on amazon (Still! I just checked!) and was charting up to #3 on the amazon bestseller list. Which for a four year old queer sci-fi novella is crazy and awesome. Please read it! It's sooo good and deserves all the love! I bought a print copy just because I adore it so much that I needed it as pages and not just as an ebook. Really one of those books that makes you re-read and savour the words. Seriously, it's one of the reasons I love epistolary as a format: people might not talk in poetry IRL but they certainly can write it to each other and it is just so beautiful.

Then! I got a notification yesterday that somebody made a podfic of my fic! It's available here on AO3:

So now I am trying to learn about commenting etiquette for podfic so I can say something useful and nice, but I thought that I should get the word out too! It was recorded for [community profile] voiceteam , which is a podfic comm, in case any of you are interested! :D

thanks for posting about This is How You Lose the Time War and Bigolas Dickolas - I'd seen a bit of a stir on twitter, but never got a solid feel for what was going on - but looking at the book (and with your rec) I just purchased it! my copy should arrive on Thursday, and hopefully I'll have time to read on the weekend

I'm so happy to see the hype This is How You Lose the Time War is getting, it really deserves it. Congrats on getting a podfic, I know how great that feels.
