They say Hugo noms are open, so just reupping. Thanks if you previously read or enjoyed any of these. No collection category, but if you liked UNCERTAIN SONS AND OTHER STORIES, the titular novelette, "Uncertain Sons," (sans other stories) is eligible. As are other-other stories in thread. Thanks!

Eight original short stories published last year. All at wenwenwrites.wordpress.com/publications... but a favorite was in @trollbreathmag.bsky.social "Saltwater Mother" magazine.trollbreath.com/saltwater-mo...

BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo). Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3

Contract signed! So happy one of my favorite stories finally found a home! “Magical Girl Eater,” inspired by the growing commodification of nostalgia + fandom (and of course all my favorite magical girl series from the 90s/00s 🌙), will be in a future issue of @uncannymagazine.bsky.social!
