You stand up as soon as the plane lands because you're in a rush to go nowhere. I stand up when the plane lands because I have Evil in my feet that cannot be contained. We are not the same

The best part of visiting Burger King is when the butcherman hops over the counter to lovingly place a crown on your head and says: "Here is your burger, king."

Tried to buy a mask before travelling - none in the supermarkets or the euro shop. Me: Any masks? Pharmacist: (cheerfully) No! Me: If not in a pharmacy, where can I get them? Pharmacist: *internal server error* Me: ... Pharmacist: Have you tried the supermarket or the euro shop? Unbelievable

#SFFChat The Figure is ambitious and pragmatic, and naturally becomes a leader - but he may find he isn't as ruthless as he thinks he is

#SFFChat The Sentence by @gautambhatia88.bsky.social is criminally underrated - legal science fiction that examines whether two parties of unequal power can ever be truly equal under the law (amongst many other things)

#SFFChat Hello hello fantasy friends. I’m Lilly, writer of cozy-but-not-cozy fantasy (as one reviewer put it, which I love). When I first read The Hunger Games, President Snow terrified me and I still think he’s an excellently written villain.

For Bi Visibility Week consider making a bi debut author’s day by pre-ordering my book! Two of the main characters (Vasil and Minno) and extremely bi and extremely cute 🥰 (The other MCs are lesbian (Líadan) and poly (Aila))

31 days until Songs of Broken Bells is released! In the lead up to its release date, I’m sharing a short snippet from each chapter alongside a fun fact about that chapter or the book/world in general. Today’s snippet is from chapter 8. Preorder today! books2read.com/songsofbroke...

Similar to what a lot of others have said, Songs of Broken Bells isn’t a romantasy, but it has two very important romance sub-plots. Vasil and Minno had relationship when they were younger. It was very passionate and imploded due to their differing moral views. They reconnect during the events 1/2

I really hate to ask. My autistic kids' cat has lost a tooth & I'm seeing signs of infection. I can't afford to take her to the vet. If anyone has a bit to spare, we really need the help. We had more income when we adopted & no income now due to disability. I really don't want her to die bcs I

I just sent an extremely honest pitch to a horror writer on UpWork, and thought I'd post it here, too: If you're a writer who needs someone to write promotional copy, do cold outreach, build your email list, create a book trailer, do formatting, run promotions, or other sales-y stuff -- I can help!

Tis my birthday today & I realise I am very much turning "whiskey in a wineglass" days old

I’d love to send out a couple more ARCs (any book reviewers out there wanna take a stab at this bad boy???) SoBB has: 🔥 queernormative setting 🔔 found family 🔥 F/F and M/NB romance subplot 🔔 Magic controlled by emotions 🔥 Meddling saints 🔔 Paying the price 🔥 Magic that wants to kill its weilder

Greetings #HorrorWritersChat I'm Mary. I #amwriting Cosmic, Gothic and Weird horror because that is what I'm made for. The creature in the corner is waiting for the 80s synth jazz to end so they can Goth it up. They're draped in black shadows or velvet that flows over their hooves. 🖤

Looks like I'm officially "buying a new backpack is exciting" years old. Also the cashier complimented my tattoos. A great day

What this is: We're trying to pay translators to translate books from non-colonial African languages into English. What we need: - People to talk about the project How else you can help: - Donate $ (any amount is fine) - Buy art from the shop - Donate art to the shop ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Okay, this is one for any writers or illustrators in Ireland doing children's events. In case you haven't already heard, it looks like Garda Vetting rules are changing, so that you will have to appear in person to show your ID documents for any organization that looks for vetting. 1/5 #SpeirGorm

I'm really enjoying the Siege of Burning Grass by @premeemohamed.com - but one tiny thing is bugging me. Do you pronounce the protagonist's name aleh-FRET or ALE-fret? (Or a secret third thing)

I don’t think I have the complete skill set to spin up a website to compete with itch.io using zenpayments… but it seems like an opportunity. If you’re doing this and you want help, I’d love to be a part of it.

I'm generally not someone who likes bucketing #SFF and #Litfic as entirely separate beasts, but looking at it critically I feel like lit fic is WAY better at representing global voices. Like I feel SFF is much more US/UK dominated - am I imagining that? Or is this a real and studied phenomenon?

Snails the size of cities and the end of the world... My short story "Upon their Backs they Heave the Earth" has been reprinted (first pubbed in Impossible Worlds) in Androids & Dragons and is free to read online Check it out if you like snails. Or if you hate snails.

If someone can help me out by linking to a post Aliette de Bodard made about monster fucking and a dragon, I will send you two free eBooks (of my books; I am poor)! I saw it maybe two weeks (??) ago and was like, "that could be useful for the thesis" and didn't take a screenshot and the Bsky

#HorrorWritersChat crawling out of my work hole to partake. I'm spooky (or alice), I write body horror and character drama driven horror. I'm not huge on vampires in general but i'm blowing a kiss to stringless oki, who claims he's a vampire (he actually just likes to run around and bite people)

I'm Amber, a horror and dark fiction writer from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. My editor classifies Mexican Gothic as a vampire book, and while I don't know if I fully agree, I'm going with that. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Sal, I love ghost stories and psychological horror, especially when they speak to the queer experience. To be completely honest, vampires don't really do it for me. The exception is Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass, which was AMAZING. #HorrorWritersChat

Evening all! William Beck & I lurk in the trauma corner I guess; the invisible demons that haunt their every survivor. Favourite vampire is tough but I really love the lore & energy to the vampires of the What We Do in the Shadows TV series. Although Buffy has the best deaths #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Abigail. I write slow burn, gothic, & grief horror often historical settings. Usually I say I don't like vampires but somehow I keep reading books & watching shows featuring them. (I'm looking at you Sinners!) Atl from "Certain Dark Things" is one of the best vamps! #HorrorWritersChat

Bitey bitey! Ooh what a question! Hi all, I am Eryn, I'm a horror writer, mostly psychological and Gothic. My favourite vampire... probably Carmilla. Although I'm quite fond of one I'm ghost writing just now! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello everyone, my name is Jacob Marsh, and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. I think my favorite vampire-like creatures (besides my variant, because that would be cheating) are the bestial critters found in the Warhammer Fantasy settings. The Varghulf is my jam.
