    #WritersCoffeeClub Oct 28 - Have you ever edited another's work? Was it harder than editing your own? Not in an editorial role, only when working as a collaborator on a multi-author text. In which case it feels like rewriting/redrafting.

    #WritersCoffeeClubFootnote: the space opera duology I'm currently writing is set so far in the future that humanity has speciated, and there's been a LOT of time for deliberate genetic modification.One consequence is that non-UV catalyzed Vitamin D synthesis is normal: everyone is dark, for UV protection. (Also, many hominins have a vacuum-exposure reflex that opens the ductus arteriosis and bypasses the lungs, maintaining blood oxygen levels for a few minutes—time to get to safety.)

    #WritersCoffeeClub Footnote: "Destiny" tends to show up more in fantasy than SF. On my to-do list is a hard-SF Chosen One narrative—our protag knows from an early age they're not like the other kids in the hive. Only as they near adulthood do they learn that they're a member of a rival eusocial hominin subspecies, and they've been created to infiltrate a neighbouring hive and kill and replace the queen ... Like, "Hellstrom's Hive" meets this whackiness in ants: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09425-w

    #WritersCoffeeClub Oct 20 - What role does death (or undeath!) play in your work?I write genre fiction and it is *surprisingly hard* to write a novel in which nobody dies; death tends to be trivialized or used to advance the plot and seldom traumatizes the survivors.To which I say, to hell with that!(Current WIP massacres with gleeful abandon, but it's SF set in a future with lossy mind uploading and replay, so they've effectively got mechanised reincarnation. Societal whackiness ensues.)
