Thanks for all the kind words for “Barbershops of the Floating City”! Love the Thomas Ha and E.M. Linden stories too! (And just read “Liecraft” after your rec and man, that was so unique and good)

Yes, the tiny Liecraft fandom expands!

As always, you are very welcome, and thanks for the great reading. (And yeah the Ha and Linden ones were great)
