More your anticapitalist communitarian sense, but obviously there’s an anarcho-individualist sense of the word, which some on the station also adopt.

Thanks! I’m currently writing the prequel or Part 0 as I call it. I’m nearly finished with it, but it’s not needed to enjoy The Twisted Road.

I’ve loaded up my Switch with Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2. My level 1 Mage has magic missile and a staff to hit things with and a big, wide world to explore. How am I supposed to get any writing done?

The Twisted Road - concepts

During the concept stage of @simonkewin.co.uk's cover art, having settled on a MΓΆbius strip-shaped space station, I produced several rough sketches for composition and different iterations for a station design that defies the laws of construction.

The Doomstone in the crypt of York Minster.

The Doomstone in the crypt of York Minster.

Sometimes you just need to keep your eyes open if you need ideas for a fantasy yarn. This is the β€œDoomstone” in the crypt of York Minster. It depicts a cauldron and three mouths of hell into which the souls of the damned are being pushed and tortured by fearsome demons.

It’s both annoying and a bit funny. But useful to know where not to submit to.

Quite a well known magazine rejects a story because they didn't like something that very specifically didn't even happen in the story.
