More on This is How You Lose the Time War...
"There are certain books you just have to shout about for a while before critical thought can congeal, and this is one of them."
Jake Casella Brookins' review is an illuminating exploration of this astonishing book and its place within the #SciFi genre.

#AmReading This is How You Lose the #TimeWar.
I'm gobsmacked & bedazzled, scrabbling for words to encapsulate this trippy, audacious, forever-war-time-travel-love story.
Here are love letters written on lava, engraved on seeds, scrawled by a bee. Here are words that seduce & subvert, that are wielded as weapons, tossed like tattered petals, taught to dance on razor wire.
Kudos to @tithenai & @maxgladstone. This book is crazily good!

#doctorwho meets Downing Street in an alignment of #TimeWar and #bigeneration. But sadly, ‘Cameron is no Tennant…’ @YorksBylines @BylinesNetwork https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/culture/the-whoniverse-and-westminster-on-time-war-and-bi-generation/

Wenn ich extra an #Osiander vorbeigehe und mir dann Vividus ein Angebot macht, zu dem ich nicht nein sagen kann... Neu im #Bücherregal Carl Meyer: #Aberglaube im #Mittelalter - @medievodons #medievalhistory #medieval @buchstodon - Was dann mit #ProjektMyra zu tun hat weiss ich erst wenn ich es gelesen habe. Jetzt habe ich erstmal den #Timewar gewonnen #AmalElMohtar #MaxGladstone & schwelge noch in dessen Poesie und Zitaten, die in meinem Kopf wirbeln und mir unterwegs gute Gespräche bescherten.

A room filled with guilt and regrets where the Doctors confronted their own persona selves. The feels. 🥺

Current listening. #DoctorWho #Gallifrey #TimeWar boxset 1 from #BigFinish. Will be selling on the CD boxset after. #audio #audioDrama #Scifi

I read “This Is How You Lose the Time War,” and I have a hard time putting my feelings into words. I feel it is in many ways a very good #SciFi novel that many people will like. It’s well written, has female queer main characters, and there’s a good plot. Yet, I didn’t love it as much as others have.

At a different time, no pun intended, it might have been more my speed, perhaps.

Anyone else?

On some days I absolutely love the Internet and yesterday was definitely one of them.

I've written the @BlogtorWho review for Doctor Who: Cass from Big Finish. Most Time War stories are fairly doom laden, but with half the episodes here by James 'Fires of Pompeii' Moran, it's surprisingly fun, and funny, stuff with possibly one of the most charismatic TARDIS teams ever.

Doctor Who: Cass is that most unexpected of things, a fun, witty Time War story. All fueled by the charisma of a brilliant cast

Just about to list to the last part of the latest #DoctorWho #TimeWar box set and I just know it’s going to be tragic. 🥺

(NB: I’m fully aware that “latest” in relation to the time war is a meaningless concept because the time war takes place in all places at all times simultaneously, but it’s helpful to try and construct some kind of linear way of thinking about it to try and make some kind of sense, however limited).

Dr Allard will brief you on the current state of the temporal war.

This is either #MicroFiction or a #WritingPrompt depending on who you ask.

Hello, I am a hobbyist for unicycles #OneWheelCrew and I want to join your #TimeWar. Unfortunately my dog eats bicycles #MetalEater and I won't be able to do so. The good news is that I have burnt all the calenders in the city to do my part #BurnTheDates. Thank you, I hope to see you in the mirror dimension we previously discussed twelve years ago #MemoriesAreTimeTravel.

I guess, I should finally introduce myself. I'm a bipedal, which means I ride two bicycles at once. When I'm not doing, that I turn into vapor, and stay in clouds, until I pee on people #kink. A lot of you like Dinosaurs, but I'm not that old, and I've never met one. #extinct. Time is slowly killing me, so I'm waging war on it, hence the bicycles. #TimeWar

Oh, by all the gods! They’ve finally announced the next #TimeWar box set for 8…. And it has Cass in it. I don’t think I’m emotionally prepared for this…

KEEP BACK, KEEP AWAY!'
'Well I hope you're proud. A whole planet and just the two of us left alive. Is this the victory of the Daleks you dream of?'
'YES' Intoned the Dalek in a low rumble.
'You realise only one of us will leave this place of death you've created?'
'YEEES.'
