Our AI issue is snaking its way onto your local mega-algorithmic storefront for purchase. 60+ contributions of 500-word flash fiction and poetry on artificial intelligence, brought to you by your favorite new and returning WFQ authors. Robot lovers, hive minds, cursed math, we have it all!

We've been quiet about our upcoming AI issue for far too long. No longer! This will be available for purchase in the next week or so. It's one of our better collections and the writers nailed the theme with a variety of takes on our new robot overlords.

If you need some good news this weekend, "Experimental Files", an anthology of short stories inspired by @gemmafiles.bsky.social's "Experimental Film" is now available. Edited by Sarah Walker and Elizabeth Mitchell, all profit generated by this book will be donated to autism research efforts.

Belated Happy Public Domain Day!
