seekingferretFuturity, the steampunk indie rock musical I saw with freeradical42 when they workshopped it at HERE two years ago, apparently had its official 'premiere' three months ago, and I just bought the new cast recording. It is fantastic and now I want fic. I'd like steampunk zombie Julian Munro, and anything less grounded in Julian's imagination that shows how Ada feels about Julian, and I want more about the General, especially the fic where the General is an Observer, because I love crossroles shit.
At present, the list of fandoms I'll be nominating for Yuletide is
Danger 5
Koyaanisqatsi
Futurity
And hoping someone else will nominate Embassytown/the rules will change so I can nominate Embassytown.
In other tiny fandom news, still working my way through the Hugo nominee packet, which is wonderfully fun. "The Copenhagen Interpretation" by Paul Cornell is a ridiculous and awesome novelette, about a world where Newton's discoveries were more proto-quantum mechanics than proto-relativity, and this branching in science history has reshaped the present and the future. Ken Liu's "The Paper Menagerie" appears to be the best of a weak crop of Best Short Story nominees. It's not great SF, but it is a great story, about the costs of being a stranger in a strange land. And if "Remedial Chaos Theory" does not win, it will be a serious miscarriage of justice.
