I’m officially a weird fiction author! (Whether my writing is “weird” vs just weird is a bigger question). See my human-alien separation lament in @utopiascifi.bsky.social weird fiction special issue. So honored to be included! www.utopiasciencefiction.com/product-page...

In my ancient history, when I was learning about antiparticles while studying physics, I pondered what other 'impetuses' might have particle-antiparticles. Eventually those ponderings evolved into my story "Blobs of Luck" which you can read in the latest edition of www.utopiasciencefiction.com

This has one of my most interesting interviews - big thanks to S. T. Joshi! #weird

As we move towards our Cozy Science Fiction Issue, we're thinking about the kinds of worlds we'd like to live in so we'd like to pose that age old question: would you rather be a jedi in the Star Wars Universe or an elf in Middle Earth? #lotr #starwars

Day 39! I read False Equivalencies by @evgiaconia.bsky.social published in @utopiascifi.bsky.social. What really defines us? What we do, or what we can do? Or something else entirely? Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/s...

Subsequent conversations over the next day or two gave me time to add a moon and other details, employing the colors I had on hand at the moment. He looks determined to make his way, and I’m betting he has a sizable appetite. Better steer clear of him! 4/4 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/we...

We have our next editor's meeting coming up shortly. We'd love to hear from you if there's anything you would like for us to discuss or if there's something you'd like to see more of on the pages of Utopia Science Fiction Magazine!

Y'all. You sent me and @utopiascifi.bsky.social WAY TOO MANY amazing Weird poems. My choices! They have become so hard! 😭

We love reading the reviews on Tangent Online, particularly when they cover us. It's an especially good read for writers, searching for what reviewers like in a story! tangentonline.com/e-market-qua...

As we stride boldly into a new year, here are our themes (so far) for 2026! #sciencefiction #submissions open.substack.com/pub/utopiasc...

On the SF side, my favorite poem of 2025 is "them // us" in @utopiascifi.bsky.social! 🚀 They drop from the sky at moonrise when silver beams twist around their silver capsule.💫 This one's paywalled, so if you're interested in reading it for awards, contact me via my website (link in bio) or DM me!

Very excited to be conducting this interview for @utopiascifi.bsky.social. Let me know if anyone has any burning questions about the history of Weird Fiction! #weird #sciencefiction

Great news! An interview with S. T. Joshi, the world's leading expert on the Weird will be appearing in our Weird Science Fiction Issue! #weird #sciencefiction stjoshi.org

We've received several queries recently regarding how the weird in our "weird" science fiction call fits in with the "science" in science fiction. This is open to interpretation and we don't need your weirdness to stem from scientific principles, although fun to see what you can do with black holes!

Highly recommend getting tickets for this free event, not just because it features Utopia interviewee Ken Liu and contributor Jean-Paul L. Garnier @spacecowboybooks.bsky.social. It also features a range of other experts, providing deep insight into the world of speculative fiction! #sciencefiction
