hey Bluesky I hear you like sports I have a science fiction sports story for you it only contains a MODERATE amount of sports-induced hallucination

We're taking a bit of a break from reading in December, but the submission gates will remain open (mostly because those gates are really heavy, it takes like 5 people to move them, and also they've gotten a bit rusty so maybe I should deal with that somehow but you know what, I'm tired.)

Eeee, it’s Nov 3! Happy book birthday to me! 📖🍰

One regret I've always had is that I used stock art for FF#1 back when I re-launched the mag. Now that I'm reformatting old issues to our new digest format, I'm able to correct past mistakes! Check out the new FF#1 cover, with art licensed from long-time FF collaborator @carlydraws.bsky.social!
