2014 online short fantasy and science fiction recommendations, part 8
I think I'm finally done with this and can move on to posts about what I'm actually nominating!
Crossed Genres
Daddy's Girl, Eleanor R. Wood. Very sweet, but nice.
The Semaphore Society, Kate Heartfield. Disabled teens online.
Makeisha In Time, Rachael K. Jones. Okay, so Crossed Genres may be a bit on the ... sentimental side? But there's some enjoyable stuff here.
Space Travel Loses its Allure When You've Lost Your Moon Cup", Sylvia Spruck Wrigley. Ahahaha.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies
Goatskin, K.C. Norton. I like shapeshifters.
Heaven Thunders the Truth, K.J. Parker. Quality fantasy.
The Moon Over Red Trees, Aliette de Bodard. Historical fantasy set during the French occupation of Vietnam.
Butterfly House, Gwendolyn Clare. Didn't love where this one ended, but I like the rest of it.
By Appointment To The Throne, Alter S. Reiss. I liked this whodunnit about exiles and religious rivalry and magic drugs.
Rappaccini's Crow, Cat Rambo. Kind of a mishmash of elements, but the crow itself is a good antagonist.
The Unborn God, Stephen Case. This one has an interesting house and an interesting god.
Silver and Seaweed, Greg Linklater. I like underwater adventures.
The Bonedrake's Penance, Yoon Ha Lee.
The Breath of War, more Aliette de Bodard. I'm often interested in dark sisters and magical twins and things like that.
Pilgrims, Ann Chatham. Felt like an authentically medieval voice somehow (even if someone else's middle ages).
Other
To Whatever, Shaenon Garrity, ahahahahaha.
King Tide, Alison Wilgus. Simple yet powerful (and very contemporary, like I think we could put this one in a science fiction time capsule and whoever opened it would be like "yup, the '10s". I like that.)
Toad Words, a short piece Ursula Vernon posted to her Tumblr.
Lysistrata of Mars, Tory Hoke. I accidentally left this off my Strange Horizons list but quite liked it.
