I got jump scared by my own story 👽😂. Thanks @ratbaglit.bsky.social !

My short horror story Quackers was published today by Rat Bag Lit. Please check it out if you have a minute. Thanks! substack.com/@ratbaglit/n...

Whoooo got accepted to @ratbaglit.bsky.social for a 🤏 wee little drabble about pulling your face off every night.

We're officially OPEN TO NONFICTION AND REPRINT SUBMISSIONS! We are looking for full nonfiction pieces (not pitches) and reprints of stories currently unavailable for free online. 🪐See our guidelines for details: othersidespec.com/guidelines 🗡️Submit here: hybrispress.moksha.io/publication/...

I'm waiting for like 10+ outstanding submissions. I am too weak for this delayed response life.

🍂🍁 Critique Partner Matching is tomorrow!🍁🍂 For those seeking critique partners, post to the #FiFRevPit feed on Bluesky on Friday, the 14th, and then take some time to scroll through this weekend to find your match! 🧵

Moira's black-out rejection poetry is literally the best thing. Go read it. The worst part is I now look forward to her rejections almost as much as her acceptances, which feels.... weird. 😂

Goya is truly the Halloween It Girl 🦇 I have to resist making the Witches' Sabbath goat my PFP.

Super jazzed to be included in Dragon Tomes' upcoming spooky Voices from the Void anthology with my comedic New Orleans ghost story "There’s No Runner-Up for the Best Haunt Award". The best part is sharing a cover with @moirariom.bsky.social 🐀💙 Out Oct. 20th: tinyurl.com/293hvx9k

I'm comically late on praising @2thestrugglebus.bsky.social 💚 I used her butcher special for an awkward length 50k story that wasn't selling as novel. Jenee took on the impossible task of cutting it down to 40k with zeal. I seriously couldn't have submitted this to proper novella calls without her 🫣

#AugurMicros2025 @augursociety.bsky.social ⭐ From Nebula to Neutron Star

@gravesidepress.bsky.social's "What Lurks" cryptid anthology is live and kicking. My queer, monstrous story "The Winter Caretaker" is inside ❄️. I can't express how much this story means to me. And for all those who decide to read it... remember to keep the lantern lit 🕯️.

My gay little sci-fi romp is live and free to read at @heartlines-spec.com 🫀!

My queer vampire western story just won third place in Reach Your Apex's contest. 🧛‍♂️🖤🧛

Why send us early subs? You get: ❣️fresh eyeballs (plump, moist, dense) ❣️boundless reading energy (cackling and exhaustion free) ❣️more time to submit again (good vibes of deadlines)

My short story about hurt girls and bulging wallpaper is now live at @darkharbormagazine.bsky.social. 🪱 www.darkharbormagazine.com/stories/ym4v...

Great people are running this publication 🐀

#queerpit #A #MR #N #R #SN Delilah, a cranky doctor for hidden magical beings, is ambushed by her ex Darcy with a plea: remove her newborn son Noah’s magic with an illegal surgery to stop the danger his “faulty” magic poses. Think Rowell’s Wayward Son (magical road trip vibes) + a second-chance 👭❤️.

This is... one of the weirder pieces of flash I've written 😂

Issue 8 has stepped through the portals! Our summer issue is always special because it's powered by a birthday wish, BUT this issue is EXTRA POWERFUL because it's powered by TWO BIRTHDAYS. You should subscribe (or buy online!) -- can't let a birthday wish down 🎂 www.heartlines-spec.com/issue-8/

Love this!! 😍 It's so cool how there ended up being a space/sci-fi through-line in a lot of these stories. Can't wait!

SURPRISE! We couldn't wait until next week—our Kickstarter pre-launch page is live right now!!! Sign up to be the first to know when it launches in October, and please spread the word and tell a friend! Every sign-up makes a huge difference. We are officially one step closer to OTHERSIDE!

Can't wait to share my (emotional disaster 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨) space boys & their (gossipy 👀) nonbinary assistant with the world. Thanks @heartlines-spec.com for making it possible.

Time to bring back the summoning circle for writers! 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 That email 🕯 or acceptance 🕯 you've been 🕯 waiting for 🕯 🕯 🕯️
