There's some drama afoot in the book world this week, stemming from an organization known as NaNoWriMo.

A hub for the very best in sci-fi short films, Dust also has a live linear channel constantly playing from their selection of shorts, so if you don't feel like wading through the selections, you can let the service choose for you.
