A handy guide to all SFF-related posts and works of 2018

I tend to feel uncomfortable with eligibility posts, but I posted such an overview for the first time in 2016, when someone added my name to the Hugo Nominations Wiki. And since I did it the past two years, I decided to make an overview post for 2018 as well.

So if you’re interested in what I write, here is an overview of all SFF related blogposts of 2018, in chronological order, as well as a list of all the SFF fiction I published.
