Hello friends, we are 🎉✨LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!! ✨🎉 WE'RE FUNDING: 🌟 T&F Year 5 💫 T&F Year 6 and, if we reach $15k: our first ever Tales & Feathers PRINT EDITION! 🎊📚‼️ Check it out below! Like, share, and back the campaign to help us bring our dreams into reality. 💚

It's release day for Saros SF #5, the sound/silence issue! This was my first go at editing a magazine. I have more to say about the experience, and about each of these fabulous stories, but for now: Yay! You can (and I hope you will!) acquire the issue for free or PWYC here: sarossf.com/issue-5/

The sixth story in Saros #5, "Gardenias Under a Temporal Window" by @kaunvijaya.bsky.social, drifts by as a wisp so delicate I didn't realize until a while after it was finished how powerful a storm of emotions it contains. It's a lovely little story, a brutal little story. Just so beautifully done.

Boss told me I can take time off to go attend clarion but I have to tell everyone it's a work training thing The second someone asked me what training, i spilled the beans. I can write but I can't lie for shit

hello...i hereby order myself to initiate swag sequence (clarion west 2026 edition). press the button!

Congrats to all, especially Saros SF #5 TOC-mates @yasmeenfahmy.bsky.social and @kaunvijaya.bsky.social!

Guess who is going to clarion this year!!!! ITS MEEEEE

The cat's out of the bag. I've got a collection of stories coming out later this year with WATG Press. I couldn't be more excited. Thank you, @dakria.bsky.social, for being as excited about these stories as I am. 😁💙 watgpress.substack.com/p/kai-delmas...

I was too scared? embarrassed? to make an eligibility post so this is pretty late but please consider me for a nomination if you liked "Postman, Soldier, Traitor"

Okay i am watching the new bridgerton season. It is far far more interesting when we get a glimpse into the lives of the servants. I want a whole show about them!

Vijayalaxmi Samal's "Postman, Soldier, Traitor" (www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/post...) -- A story about a postman's son, haunted and hounded by an undelivered letter from an enemy on the battlefield.

Apex is funded, but there are still more stretch goals to meet to restore it to its former glory! Spread the word for more issues (including one specifically for unpublished authors!), new drabble contests, and more.

Relieved to get a message from Ahmad, who is still alive, but his family of 11, like all families in Gaza right now, is in displacement and in great danger from Israel's genocidal famine, invasion & intensified bombing. Please keep sharing & donating, they're in great need.

Ever watched a girl you barely know get eaten alive by murder hornets in the mess hall? Ever spoken to a dead guy who came home to tell you about the demon who killed him? Pre-order BANDIGOAT www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Had a short trip over to Kolkata where everything is under-construction right now. They are setting up the structure for the Durga Puja Pandals. Wish I could stay to actually see them when they are done

ICYMI, I have a new story out in Lightspeed Magazine about lovers aboard a doomed science vessel!! It's short but loaded with joy and grief and lavish descriptions of alien and not-so-alien food. Check it out: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/last...

It's me! My story is out! Writing this story almost broke me, and I'm so happy everyone will get a chance to read it!

Palestinian families like Hammam's are being bombed, displaced, & starved to death in Israel's genocidal famine & siege. Please help by sharing & donating if you can, they urgently need shelter:

We need your support in the next 3 days, before the fall of eternal night. Help us breathe new stories that keep us alive, each word and phrase building the monster’s body, the one who rends and tears and protects us from darkness. kck.st/4mIkEm1

Hellllooooo from the static! It is fundraising season for many spec mags out there. We are doing things a little differently with a small gofundme to help us into 2026. We are already at $2 and just need a little boost to help us to our goal of $2400 👻 www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

SO incredibly gorgeous and vividly haunting, and such a Vee story too.

The story would not be possible without so many critique partners and cheerleaders like Emmi 💜

My fave short fiction read this week was from @kaunvijaya.bsky.social in BCS about how war is a complex hell for the heart. Loads more story depth, setting detail and emotion than I thought possible at this length and with inexorable pacing. www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/post...

🥺😭

I really liked this story, definitely recommend it!

ATTENTION !!!!!

There is an audio version of my story now for your listening pleasures!!!

Palestinian families like Ahmad's are being starved to death & displaced once again in Israel's genocidal famine & siege. Bsky keeps deleting him. Please help by sharing his latest account & donating if you've anything to spare:

It meeeeeee (sorry very professionally please read)

Live in BCS #439 & podcast 350: "Postman, Soldier, Traitor" @kaunvijaya.bsky.social "Akshar stills the letter by pressing a hand to it, telling it they will reach their destination soon, even with the detours, and they come to a fragile understanding." www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/post...

There is also a podcast version of this out now!!!! Narrated beautifully by Dominic Rabrun It's just short enough for a good walk www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/audio/bcs-35...

The sequel to my Best American SFF story “Bruised Eye Dusk” is out today in the new issue of Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Come down to Perish to have another adventure with Rugg the Spellbreaker and his gator mount, Tugboat!

Aaaaaaaaaaa this is a dream come true I genuinely started reading short fiction with BCS and now my story is in it!!!!

I have a story out in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social today!!!! It's about a letter than demands itself to be delivered through a war torn country, about service and community and more! ✉️
