The Emanation of Movement and Stillness:

8-11-15 ancillary justice drafts-13

Which breaks down into Movement:

8-11-15 ancillary justice drafts-14

And Stillness:

8-11-15 ancillary justice drafts-15

Reminding folks who don’t think they have drawing skills, the more elaborate elements of these doubtless have super-schematic versions. I’m betting there’s a version of this that looks like Stillness=heavy vertical line, Motion=asterisk kind of thing, Movement/Stillness=Dark heavy line with light asterisk behind it. Even I could draw that. And I bet that’s what the small IssaInu looked like that Syrix was wearing, in Ancillary Sword, now I think of it.

And of course–you can print things out and glue or sticker them to things. Check the EtrepaBo post for more specific suggestions, but really you can do almost anything with these.

Here’s an SVG file for you to play with:

IssaInu.svg

This is an SVG file with layers. Gimp will open it but it won’t see the layers. I’m told the file (and the corresponding ones for the other Emanations) was made in Adobe Illustrator and will open in that application.

Here’s a PSD file with layers:

IssaInuCMYK.psd

This uses the CMYK color scheme. Gimp won’t open it. Presumably Photoshop will. Nicole has said she’ll convert these over to RGB when she gets a chance, at which point I’ll upload those and link them.

Nicole tells me she’s tried very hard to make these layers clear and easy for folks to work with, so y’all can manipulate these and play with them to your heart’s content. And I want to thank her again for doing such awesome work! Please do try to credit her when you use these images, if you can.

It’s that time again, time for the annual SH fund drive. This is the fifteenth year SH has been running, if I am remembering correctly, and during that fifteen years they’ve run fiction by a lot of amazing writers, and published poetry and reviews and essays.

Strange Horizons offers all this free, but they pay the writers. The annual fund drive is how they do that. So if you’d like them to be able to continue to publish great work by amazing writers, this is your chance to help.

Folks who donate during the fund drive are entered into a drawing for lots of excellent prizes. And this year, you could win the Ancillary trilogy, all three volumes, signed by me! And I see someone else has donated a copy of Subterranean’s special edition hardcover of Ancillary Justice. Check it out! Click the link and take a look.

And some of November, actually, mostly because of the way schedules line up.

Basically, I’ve got a little tour going, almost entirely on the West Coast. I’m not touring on my own–it turns out, Greg Bear’s new book Killing Titan is out the same day! So we’re appearing together, which I’m really looking forward to.

Anyway. Here’s where you can find me next month. There’s more information at the links under each date:
 

Ancillary Mercy Tour Oct 6-10, 2015

 

Tuesday, October 6
7 PM: University Temple United Methodist Church The Sanctuary, 1415 NE 43rd Street, Seattle, WA
 
Wednesday, October 7
7 PM: Tattered Cover, Denver, CO
 
Thursday, October 8
7 PM: Powell’s, Beaverton, OR
 
Friday, October 9
7:30 PM: Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego, CA
 
Saturday, October 10
3 PM: Borderlands, San Francisco, CA

 

I’ll have some swag to hand out, as long as supplies last. I will try to have Awn Elming and Translator Dlique pins on me, as well as these:

20150921_175444

I’d love to show you what these Book Three pins look like, but that would be a spoiler! As long as I still have some, I will hand them out to anyone at a signing who wants one, and once you’ve read the book you can find out for yourself!

Incidentally, after probably the middle of November I will begin listing whatever swag I have left on my Etsy store again.


In October I will also be attending ICON. So you can also find me here:

Pre-ICON signing October 15, 6:30-8:30pm

Barnes and Noble Cedar Rapids
333 Collins Road Northeast
Cedar Rapids IA 52402

I’ll be signing books, along with a bunch of other awesome people!

and

ICON Cedar Rapids, IA October 16-18, 2015


Then, finally, I do a thing in St Louis. Two, in fact!:

Wednesday, October 21
7:00 pm, University City Library, University City MO

Saturday, November 14
2:00pm Webster Groves Library, Webster Groves MO

I hope you can make one of these! See you there, if so!
