Finished for @blacksffathon #blacksffathon prompt Featuring Rocks (also genre bender 'sci-fi/myth') Seed Vault by Marika Bailey 💚💚💚💚 This was also excellent. Took me longer to get into than Shiomah's Land, but that's just me. This story can be found online @ Strange Horizons.

I'm curious what your answer is! I think I'd want pixels because I'm terrible at baking, lol!
Question inspired by MagnifiqueNOIR by @BrichibiTweets. You receive a superpower based on a hobby. Would you rather have acid/ exploding cupcakes or pixel energy blasts as your monster fighting ability?

Ooh! Good question!
