The story so far<\/h4><\/div>

I’m Tildie, the far-less-factual alter ego of a science writer<\/a> in Brussels, Belgium. She’s left me in charge while she takes some well-deserved time out.
Unlike my real-life twin, I spend most of my time making up stories.
Sadly, many of these tales live purely in my head, and it’s getting crowded up there. The challenge now is to actually get them written up. How far will I get?
<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Science fiction or fantasy?<\/h4><\/div>

Shall we tempt fate and stir that discussion up again? Actually no, I don’t think I’m brave enough…
Let’s just say that I like both, don’t want to commit to either, and can’t always tell them apart anyway. After all, “… indistinguishable from magic” et cetera, n’est-ce pas?
Seriously, though – here’s more<\/a> on what I do write.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Does it matter?<\/h4><\/div>

Either way, to me it’s about real people, however imaginary. Human or other individuals, biological, artificial, virtual or ethereal, with their abilities, limitations and quirks, dealing with challenges in worlds unlike ours.
Depending on the setting, their efforts will pan out differently, and I pick out the bits that make me laugh.
That’s where my stories<\/a> sit: on the lighter side of the flaws and fiascos of fey or future folk. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What prospective readers might say<\/h2><\/div>

<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>
\u201cIn Belgium, absurd tales basically write themselves, but rarely do we get any with an SF or fantasy element. So, well done Tildie for landing a flying saucer on our biennial flower carpet, right next to the secret vampire rehabilitation centre.\u201d<\/div>
Manneken P. <\/span>Brussels, Terra<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\u201cVery disappointing. Not a ripped shirt in sight, no sign of a charismatic space hunk or the slightest tall dark hero, and far too many over-worked fairy godmothers, ill-fitting space suits and incomprehensible FTL drive manuals. Avoid.\u201d<\/div>

<\/div>
\u201cI love her stories. More bittersweet than funny at times, but they really stick in my mind. Keep \u2019em coming, Tildie! I take the train a lot, and I\u2019d be bored without a good read\u2026\u201d<\/div>
