twelve dancing princesses and two forests

A Cloud Roads universe short story from marthawells! "The Forest Boy" Yay!

Twelve steampunk sonnets by Roz Kaveney at Tor.com. Wonderful.

Looking for a seriously cool, unique, affordable gift? A twelve postcard story series, enchanting adventure of time travel and madness, Veronique is Visiting from Paris.  

I love this so much. Darwin's secret cloud forest. A lot of my science fiction is concerned with biomes and the seeding of other planets.

Figured out that the sliver of wood enspelled by the pythone will, when broken, create a permanent phenomena of portal, vortex, or haunting of some sort in the area of the ship's brig. Am ridiculously pleased with this, as it took me forever to figure out and gets me much closer to the climax and denouement.
