Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

What poster did you have hanging in your room as a kid? (I wasn’t a very popular kid - not sure why.)

Such a good story! I love the imagery and overall vibe of this, and it was interesting to read the “story behind the story“ at the end.

This story sounds really cool. Post-apocalyptic mushroom hunting? I’m in! Err… for the story, that is, not the actual situation 😅

A funny tale from me, in here:

Olivia Wylie's story "Hybrid Vigor" describes a reality where the human world and fae world have recently come back together, and how a little good music can save a life. Read it free, and the rest of Issue 7, now at www.perseidprophecies.ca!

Just as my interest in Squid Game was starting to wane, “The Starry Night” (season 3, ep. 2) caught me off guard and destroyed my emotions 😭. Such powerful storytelling, one of the best-written episodes (of any show) I’ve watched in recent memory. Might need a break before going on to the next!

I’ve been wanting to read this for years (waiting for an ebook version, to no avail). Finally caved and bought the paperback. I’m especially excited to dive into this after reading the wonderful introduction by @kellylink.bsky.social !

Worth noting, my story would not have been published today if not for @abigailkemske.bsky.social . I’d * almost given up on this piece, and her insights on perseverance motivated me to keep it going. The very next submission was an acceptance. Writer friends are amazing people!

My latest story, "Acts of Senseless Beauty", is included in this issue (which can be downloaded for free at the link below). Looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in here!
