I don't want to do my molecular diagnostics review so here's some Worldcon highlights while I procrastinate: 1.) Signing copies of NEV at the @clarkesworldmagazine.com table with @tiatashiro.bsky.social l and taking turns to hype each other up while we chatted with folks!

Fun fact, I watched the recording of Amal El-Mohtar's wonderful speech later because I spent the majority of it backstage in a state of senseless shock. I cannot express how immeasurably grateful I am to the SFF community for this honor. NEV would call you Those Kind Readers. Thank you all.

So many things to say now that I'm home and transitioning from Worldcon overwhelmed to normal med school overwhelmed. As soon as I'm not trying to somehow watch two lectures at the same time, I'll write out my feelings here.

Btw I based the taco stand from “When You Give a Dokkaebi Taco Tuesday” off of Angel’s Tijuana, which serves the best tacos in all of L.A. and definitely the best I’ve ever had. The best in OC is Tacos Los Cholos (rec for Worldcon folks).

H.H. Pak @hhpak.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Hiya folks! Here's my Worldcon schedule! I'm taking time off from med school to nerd out with y'all. Hope some of you can stop by! I'll repost this closer to the day of.

I’d greatly appreciate if people could consider voting for either of my two novelettes, Never Eaten Vegetables or Crabs Don’t Scream! I’m so honored to see both stories made it to the finals!

Here's my 2025 Wrap Up! I pushed two novelettes and one short story out into the light of day, as well as a swanky robot essay for Wyrmhole, (plus oodles of indulgent fanfiction which will NOT see the light of day). Here's a debrief of all that my brain wrought this past year:

This is how I think punctuation marks would react to you misusing them: Period: "You absolute donkey. Get out of here." Semicolon: "How DARE you! Never touch me again!" Colon: "Come on man, not cool." Comma: "I really wish you wouldn't, but I get it." Em Dash: "Anything you want baby, abuse me."

I was not immune to this hype and I’m ever so glad I jumped onboard, what a marvelous read it still haunts me

“The story provides a lovely reflection on the grounding nature of mundane details, and how little things can come to mean so much when one has lived a life defined by war." Thank you very much @acwise.bsky.social for reviewing "The Significance Cofactor," it's an honor as always!

H.H. Pak @hhpak.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

My elevator pitch for “The Significance Cofactor” is an episode of Bluey but with body snatching, time travel, space travel, war commentary, and gray ethics. Please enjoy!

H.H. Pak @hhpak.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

My story, “The Significance Cofactor,” is now available to listen and read at @khoreo.bsky.social! Huge thank you to the talented @cyrusrodas.bsky.social for giving my morally gray narrator a voice, the narration sounds incredible! www.khoreomag.com/fiction/the-...

No words can express how honored I am to receive the H.H. Pak Gets An Award award… to receive an award named after myself receiving an award is an award in itself. I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭 Thank you SFBC, you’re a fantastic community with fantastic taste!

The imagery and poetic rhythm of this one feels like a children’s rhyme being chanted underwater. The premise is really fun to scratch: hey what if you believed in God so hard you became one?

A story of much needed perseverance and glorious hope, may this be a reflection of our future.

Props to my eight grade student who angrily said that if Dr. Jekyll wanted to be a good person so badly, he should have just been a better friend or donated to charity instead of taking a shortcut. Based.

<3 So much love to my fellow co-editor!! There are many excellent candidates for the Astounding, but the intrepid @tiatashiro.bsky.social (in her second year of eligibility!) is highly deserving! The satisfaction of her plots and meticulous world building will leave you breathless.

Thank you for the shoutout! I second your enthusiasm for @angelaliu.bsky.social, the range and quality of her work is incredible! Aquarium of Lost Souls is also a favorite of mine! @pelagicnatasha.bsky.social always hits it out of the park with her dark and clever style.
