choosing *five sentences* for the @storystudiochicago.bsky.social ‘s Pub Crawl Open Mic night is agony

So, just throwing it out there that @hanmarin.bsky.social is offering some great editing services that I feel like are worth shouting out. They've done some betaing for me in the past, and it's been amazingly helpful, so very much encourage you taking a look at this! hmarinliterary.com

Radon Journal's fiction pay rate is increasing to 2.5¢/word! We are also implementing a $15 minimum for fiction to ensure micro-fiction authors are taken care of. Cheers to the authors who refuse to remain quiet or complicit.

thrilled to be joining the @foofarawpress.bsky.social masthead as their novelette editor! gimme those words!!!

woke up to one of those final round form rejections that just kinda make you want to crawl into a hole for a few days anyway i’ll let you know if i see my shadow when i come back out

PSA: all readers should go immediately to @inkfoundry.bsky.social because it's an infinite treasure trove of fiction. You will be joyfully drowning in great reads.

i feel so, so sickened and so, so sad.

one of the most WIP #WIPSnips i have! this baby’s gonna need so much work, but this is a cool snippet. CW for mention of suicide. #fantasy #novelette #grief #mentalhealth

welp, i started plotting my novella today 🙃 hope you all like sapphic moon magic and vigilante nuns

got first books of 2026 @susanmd.bsky.social ‘s “Behind You Is the Sea” Nalini Jones’s “The Unbroken Coast” @scottlynch78.bsky.social ‘s “The Lies of Locke Lamora” & “Hopscotch” and “Blow-Up and Other Stories” by legend Julio Cortázar (thanks @philklay.bsky.social ) gonna be a good reading year

2025 was the year of my debut publication (in comments if you missed it) and i made it onto someone’s annual favorite short fic list. i am over the moon that i created something that resonates— & that’s what it’s all about. happy new year lovelies 💖

This year has been unrelentingly miserable. But the best thing—the thing that has sustained me—has been @othersidespec.bsky.social. After almost a year and a half of work, we officially launch in 2026… and we open to submissions at midnight! Make OTHERSIDE your first sub of the new year? 🌈 🪐 🗡️

I'm shamelessly plugging my editorial services for anyone who has "revise manuscript" as a new year's resolution. I currently have two slots open for manuscript length, and several short fiction slots. gib me marginalized narratives pls #editor #revisions #speculative #SFFH #LGBTQIA #writers #WIPs

night shades is OPEN! 🛸 500 words max, any speculative 🛸 sim subs ok (multiples not) 🛸 quick response and pro+ pay please read the guidelines! www.nightshadesmag.com/submissions/

We’re going for vibes with this #WIPSnips, although deliciousness can be deceiving…

happy holidays! santa came early for me with a @sgj.bsky.social signed first edition. does it make up for me being sick as a dog? …mostly.

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

finally downloading Baldur’s Gate 3. working on my anti-colonial snek romance in the meantime. happy snow day y’all ❄️

aaaack GORGEOUS @mruthrobinson.bsky.social in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social

If you're an author looking to get into Radon's first 2026 issue, we suggest submitting in the next week or two. We'd like to lock in the issue by Christmas and have plenty of time in January for editing

The way “2026 has got to be a better year” is a load-bearing pillar of my mental health right now.

from the 10/10 review from a close friend (not my mom i swear): “oh no pa, oh no michael” give my one-sentence debut a read if you have one minute to spare! 🖤

finished a piece for @thedeadlands.com that i’ve been working on for FOREVER but i’m going to be really disciplined and do one last round of revisions before submission so i can’t wait for those “they closed early for some reason” nightmares for the next two or so days

🛸 this new one by @hanmarin.bsky.social — a far future climate story, is one sentence so i can’t clip it for you. you’ll just have to read it immediately www.nightshadesmag.com/shelter-in-p...

I am thrilled to debut in @nightshadesmag.bsky.social with my experimental dark cli-fi micro, “Shelter in Place”. 🌪️ Please give my first (eeep!) publication a read, and feel free to share. Lots of love to you all. www.nightshadesmag.com/shelter-in-p...

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

I also won’t send anything under the MRM umbrella my work until they treat authors like humans and not like capitalist cogs

hey, all, with Halloween on Friday, avoid giving any more of your money to Hershey Trust Co.. JK Rowling—trans-exclusive “feminist“, racist, antisemite, and much, much more—gets a share of the cash from the limited HP candies.
