On Saturday, Steven Brewer, author of the Revin's Heart series of steampunk novellas that I've enjoyed, had a tent set up at the farmers market the next town over, to sell the novellas and also some of his writing in Esperanto.
I went to see him and took a 10-second video. (Warning, those Youtube shorts play on repeat--click away, click away, or else you will be stuck in a time loop!) Afterward, while we were talking, a haggard man, older than either of us (I reckon, but who can be sure?) came by and surveyed Steven's wares.
"Would you like to read a pirate airship adventure story?" asked Steven.
"I only read one person," the man said in a hoarse voice. "And that's Scott Ritter." And then he stalked off.
Steven and I exchanged glances. Well then!
"I usually try to entice people with 'Would you like to be an airship pirate,' and most people respond positively," he said. "There was one little kid, though, who told me, 'I only like Sonic. I'm wearing his shoes!'" Steven takes it all in stride.
Elsewhere in the farmers market I saw a kid with a Sonic T-shirt on and wondered if that was the same kid. I didn't get a glimpse of his shoes, though.

That escalated quickly!
I love that you know someone who writes in Esperanto.

The Scott Ritter stan was just so ??? He didn't even seem hostile! Just, having made his point, it was time to dramatically exit?

It makes me wonder about pot-growing some ginger, which I understand to be possible.
