"i loved you, as i could" KATHERINE ARDEN WHY DON"T YOU JUST STAB ME A THOUSAND TIMES INSTEAD

You know what? In the spirit of my post, my friend @ghoulpus.bsky.social's story, "Regina drosera" in Lightspeed, is one of the best things I've read in a while www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/dros...

I cope with life by throwing myself into new writing projects. Its the greatest source of my joy even when everything else goes to hell

I published a few stories this year but this perhaps is my favorite www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

Contract signed, so I'm thrilled to announce my poem, "There are lonely things in the forest" will be coming out with @thedeadlands.com next year. i wrote it because I loved Mary Oliver's Wild Geese so much, so much that it hurt and it kinda spilt over.

Hello everyone. Talented artist, reviewer, and beloved member of our community Archita Mittra is going through some really hard times currently. If you can spare a few $ it would make a world of difference ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-archi...

It's now the 2nd, but that's not a reason to forget to submit to Translunar Travelers Lounge.

deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you took a 5th century Tamil epic poem, gutted it for pieces, and used it to build a sapphic retelling? Never? Read A Song To Rival Gods today to find out

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

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...

ICYMI I have a weirdo Malaysian folk horror meets cyberpunk mashup with characters in a Sherlock-Moriarty kind of toxic dynamic in a Dangerous Liaisons kind of setup but with body horror. My idea of fun, clearly!

One of things I'm most interested right now is cruelty, especially children's cruelty.

“I’ll give up all my knitting days then—if I can have just one with you.” Rukman’s work has such lyrical prose and always leaves you with such vivid and powerful emotions to ponder. Go read “Wolfmothers” and have feelings about knitting, duty, and sense of self! bsky.app/profile/rukm...

I spy a @rukman.bsky.social story being discussed here!

I LOVED writing this story because I got to write about two of the most brushed aside characters in Norse mythology!

Wolfmothers by Rukman Ragas a story of Angrboða, mother of the monster-brood, and seeking companionship after the downfall of Loki translunartravelerslounge.com/2025/08/15/w...

I don't think I shared it here yet but I will have a story about an aroace archivist fighting book banning by turning books into dragons in Being Ace y'all!!

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.

Out now at @translunartl.bsky.social , "Vengeance As Sweet As My Love", my weirdo tale with the premise of: "What if two figures from Malaysian folk horror were thrust into a cyberpunk Sherlock-Moriarty situation"? translunartravelerslounge.com/2025/08/15/v... (you know I'm a Sherlock Holmes nerd)

Such a great TOC to share!!

riptide by @rukman.bsky.social is now free-to-read!! Let's stand at the ocean together and y e a r n www.heartlines-spec.com/riptide-by-r...

i just read this beautiful poem by @rukman.bsky.social and you should too.

Knitting, poison, tired and grieving goddesses, and so many more awesome things in this story!

Two nordic goddesses plan an apocalypse knitting party! Grief, goddesses, and the warmth of the summer wind.

BIG DAY FOR APOCALYPSE KNITTING PARTY GIRLIES New story out today with Translunar Travelers Lounge translunartravelerslounge.com/2025/08/15/w...
