FFer Read of the Day: "The Human Lifecycle" by @hannahgreer.bsky.social in @innerworlds.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/the-human-li...

I had a story come out last month with @penumbricmag.bsky.social! Titled "What Makes a Demon", it follows a woman as she tries, with extreme and perhaps invasive measures, to protect her sister from the patriarchy. Check it out! www.penumbric.com/currentissue...

The new Shacklebound anthology is out now, including one of my drabbles!

Is there some sort of campaign to stop inserting these things into bras (especially sports bras) as a matter of course? Like, to let people opt in/out? They’re so wasteful.

I have two new drabbles out today in this drabble anthology! It’s a great collection of fantasy stories, each wrapped up in 100 words!

It's pub day for another FANTASTic collection of drabbles from @shackleboundbooks.bsky.social! Short Fantasy Stories are exactly what you would think. Tiny fantasy slices of mysterious cake. I've got two pieces in this one, a reprint and something inspired by The Name of the Wind. a.co/d/2aeFjOo

"When my battery ticks from 16% to 15%, battery optimization automatically engages and the cogs in my joints stiffen. I lose traction in the mud and tumble down a bank, landing in a pit that used to be a lake." Read the rest, by @hannahgreer.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/the-human-li...

This was a great exploration on anxiety and what overcoming it might mean to those whose life are crippled by it... All in a fun #speculative piece! Read it with your next cuppa! Great #shortstory @annaclark.bsky.social published by @diabolicalplots.com www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

I have a story out! At dream publication, no less! It’s about adventure and anxiety, methods of coping, a tool that might help but also caries drawbacks (because brains are delicate and individual), and being empathetic to another person’s choices, even when they end in disaster.

Rainbow Space Magic is a free virtual con for writers & readers of queer speculative fiction! Our 6th edition will be on October 4th & 5th. Registration opens late June, but you can sign up now for our mailing list at rainbowspacemagic.org (check out previous years' recordings while you're there)

Another new story for your reading pleasure! “The New Sound” is a bite-sized look at how tech influences art for good and ill, cast through the lens of skanky dive bars. It’s probably my most traditional SF story and I’m very proud to have it included in Saros. Read and share, if you please!

New story in the latest edition of Radon! Check out ‘Instructions for Rewilding the Wasteland’ #scifi #writing #stories @radonjournal.bsky.social www.radonjournal.com/issue-10/ins...

Pleased to share my SF dystopia short story “Brain Leech” has sold to Saros Speculative Fiction!

Brand new story about living and dying and those left behind 🥲 A touching piece by @hannahgreer.bsky.social, just released in Issue 7 of Inner Worlds @innerworlds.bsky.social. Check it out! inner-worlds.ghost.io/the-human-li... #speculative #shortstory #robots

I’m thrilled to have my story, “The Human Lifecycle” out in this issue! I’m hoping it falls into the “break your heart” category, but go find out for yourself!

I was today years old when I found out that Publishers Marketplace won't announce books like mine because they don't like publishing houses that do crowdfunding. There are ways around this, but generally they're very judgy about income streams.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀 LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF
