Oh, my work is all about conspiracies.
Not only do my characters believe in conspiracies, they tend to take an active role in them.
One character in my first novel was not only involved in a conspiracy within a conspiracy, but he then broke away from that to start a new conspiracy. :)

On Venus, most transit is public. Multi-passenger fixed-wing aircraft travel between the floating cities, with varying fees. Trams within each city are generally free, though people tend to walk a lot as well, unless going up or down multiple levels. [1/3]

Good morning, #Septopolis.
Today's question encompasses both personal transport as well as industry's needs, but I'm also curious to know how you choose to handle mass public transport as well (as a goal of our real world!).
For maintenance: how is it done and how is it funded?

On Venus a few years ago, asymmetry and bright colors were in. Those have finally made it out to the Belt, and we're starting to see more of it being mixed with the Belt's more utilitarian styles. (Image of Amelia wearing that mix, thanks to @aureolinflax.bsky.social )

In Thoughtless, the chapter "No Below" was very much inspired by the Speedy Ortiz song of the same name. I had written an early draft of the scene before hearing the song, but it resonated with the circumstances - and the character - so much, I had it in mind on rewrites.

Sunday scenes: A song you associate with an emotional scene.
Unlike yesterday, this can be any kind of emotional scene you want~ Just pick one song you associate with one particular scene (or idea for a scene, if you haven't written it yet!)
Don't forget to tag!

Was just reminded of a conversation with my boothmate at a holiday market last year where we were both selling our books:
Someone had just bought one of my books:
"What was that guy asking about?"
"He wanted to know if there was anything inappropriate in my book."
"What did you tell him?"

Del goes to Bilan before anybody else. The only question is whether she wants to burden her with even more of her problems. She'll try not to, and only reach out for help when everything escalates.
A distant second choice would be Jie, who she'd ask if she were truly desparate.
