One definite advantage of this platform over Twitter is the distinct lack of AI Ghibli slop infesting my eyeballs…

AI disruption: "programmers and writers: occupations where the job from start to finish is as close as possible to what AI excels at: nice, clean, linear and sequential tasks, exam-style questions and essay assignments. both jobs also have high rates of contracting or freelancing." My thoughts below

OK Bluesky, time to try to recreate a hit thread from the bad place, wherein I give you all of the tips for how to get your story published in Fusion Fragment. 1 Like = 1 Tip or until I run out of ideas or until I finish my drink.

Strange Horizons will have 3 FICTION SUBMISSION WINDOWS in 2025. General April 16th with a 1,000 story cap Novelette (10k to 18k words) June 4th with a 300 story cap Indigenous Authors November 3rd with a 500 story cap Submission windows will begin at 9am UTC and end when we reach the cap.

You'll never get better critiques than the ones you'll get from Jeanne during YPO. The first fiction piece I sold as a writer this year is the first thing I wrote after finishing Odyssey last year, and the experience has made me so much more confident as a writer! I can't recommend it highly enough!

New call from @flashfictiononline.bsky.social. Take a hike and start writing!
