It's such an incredible honour to be included in this list among excellent peers 😊 thank you so much!

We're excited to share Reactor Original Short Fiction Highlights 2025!! This free bundle (available in PDF/EPUB) gathers a few of our excellent short stories from the year into one place, including works by @wenyilee.bsky.social, @lateonsetgirl.bsky.social, @tadethompson.bsky.social, & @isabel.kim!

Garmuti, you've made it on the thumbnail 🥹 Pride: -50 Advocacy of Buddhist message: +50

resurfacing the dark academia fantasy novelette i published earlier this year, about identity, assimilation & pursuit in a colonial institution ❤️ reactormag.com/the-name-ziy...

I'm seeing people posting their 2025 award eligibility, so here's mine. Please consider if any story touches your heart. Thank you! 🙏🏼

With the Nebula and BSFA nominations open, I’d be honored if you’d consider my novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a story of friendship, love, and fireflies✨🪲 clarkesworldmagazine.com/ihezue_02_25/

On the surface, a dark academia story with a vicious bite and wistful reminiscence. Beneath the surface, a raw aching memory for anyone who had once sacrificed a part of themselves to survive and thrive on hostile soil. Really love this story by @wenyilee.bsky.social

Still looking for a path to enlightenment? Author @champwongs.bsky.social considers life's greatest mysteries with a bit of background for his recent Reactor story "Where the Hell is Nirvana?" www.champwongsatayanont.com/essays/where...

Thank you so much for the post!! 🥹 Channelled as much of my inner doomer into humour as I could, and somehow it became noir-ish. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wrote my first blog/essay explaining my @reactorsff.bsky.social novelette 'Where the Hell is Nirvana?' for those who might be curious/angry/confused about the lore. Contains how-to guide to attain Nirvana (no click-bait) www.champwongsatayanont.com/essays/where...

I am once again asking fans to be kinder to each other.

Thank you so much for the double inclusion to the list 😭 I'm so happy with the message you took away from 'Where the Hell is Nirvana?' 🙏🏼

Vibing with a new friend and my very unhelpful dogs

This @champwongs.bsky.social story is really *really* good. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

sharing this again in case you missed it the first time. just a great story, with so many feelings.

"The greatest blessing of human psychology is eroticization." Thought this was a quip, not a profound insight on toxicity, extreme conditions, and eldritch gravity-play. Wild, funny(?), hot(?), and horrifying. Please read this story by @p-h-lee.bsky.social. Maybe not on the plane like I did.

OK, seeing my name on Book Riot was a jumpscare. bookriot.com/native-ameri...

Make Karma Easy With This One Weird Trick. THe Lord of Karma Hates Him!!!!

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE CYCLE OF SAMSARA WITH THIS ONE The Good Place X The Wolf of Wall Street set in the Thai-Buddhist heaven. I hope you enjoy this absurd, divine comedy! Thank you @malf.bsky.social for the opportunity to gush about the Traibhumikatha and Wenjing Yang for the godlike art!!

Disappointed that none of my Western readers have discovered my main inspiration for Autogas Ferryman yet, I need to share the interview. All the Thai folks immediately recognise the reference, but the world must also know.

HEY NEW WRITING COMING OUT IN A MONTH FROM MOI if you love experimental sapphic religious horror you're in luck!

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Great fun. Yes, it's about grief and futility and mangled car crash ghosts, but somehow also incredibly charming.

Oh wow, I love this @nightmare-magazine.com story by @champwongs.bsky.social . A taxi driver in Bangkok ferries the dead to their final release. . . until he meets the ghost of a crime victim who wants more than a ride. A darkly delightful ghost noir story www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

I guess a taxi ghost story is my debut into professional publishing! I hope you enjoy the notorious scandal twist and the Southeast Asian noir flavour. Read the story here! www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto... (1/5)
