Do you want a cool jacket like mine, with art by Hugo finalist Dante Luiz, rendered in thread by Myth and Stitch Embroidery? There's one way to do it: I'm having a contest! Post Galactic Hellcats fanart with #JoinTheHellcats to enter - more info on my blog: www.marievibbert.com/?p=6228

super cool embroidered patches like one sees on Hells Angels jackets but reading Galactic Hellcats with an orange cat hugging a rocket and SC in a square for spaceship club

Did someone say "Bi Visibility Day"? journeypress.com/the-kitra-sa...

The four covers for the Kitra Saga featuring everyone in the crew but Pinky, who is pretty ace. And we don't actually know which way Sirena swings. She's probably Fabulosexual.

If you are using AI/LLM you are not part of our community. We write. You push buttons trying to make a quick buck. That makes you a scammer not an artist.

Hello out there! Want to make me the happiest writer? Leave a review! :) Goodreads, Amazon, Storygraph... reviews are the lifeblood of the author. They're also fun to read. Even the bad ones...

Spread of all four The Kitra Saga covers. They look pretty cool.

If you've ever complained about the quippiness of Marvel movies, it's usually a question of bathos. Not that humor was used, not even that it was used at a tense moment, but that it was used in a way that undermines the scene itself. sheilajenne.com/2025/09/07/h...

Humor and bathos

Bathos: the sudden drop from the sublime to the ridiculous, creating an anticlimax.
