🏳️‍🌈SOME QUEER SHORT SFF - MARCH 2026🏳️‍🌈 I round up over 40 stories by @jennahanchey.bsky.social @spacevalkyries.bsky.social @awritingwren.bsky.social @historyneverwas.bsky.social @benfrancisco.bsky.social @ayidashonibar.bsky.social @deeholloway.bsky.social & MORE!!! www.patreon.com/posts/156917...

In case you missed it yesterday, I have a new story out in the April issue of Nightmare Magazine! The Final Girl Trap is now available to read online. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/the-...

Nebula short story #1: "Because I Held His Name Like a Key" by @aimeeogdenwrites.com. A story about Alan Turing, about brilliance & curiosity, about love that we can't (or won't) quite recognize and about the gaps that can't quite be bridged. Beautiful & heartbreaking. I really enjoyed this story.

Really excited to be joining this virtual spec poetry open mic session! Come read some of your poems or listen to me read some of mine ☕️ 📖

Here's the text from my latest horror story "Classifieds," which was just published by Nerd Horror Stories in audio format on YouTube. Much love! www.nerdhorror.com/nerdhorror-s...

And, here is my monthly check in with my favorite pieces from March!! P.A. Cornell Christopher Degni Ramez Yoakeim, & Daniel Ausema @cornellwriter.bsky.social @yoakeim.bsky.social, @danielausema.bsky.social www.emmiechristie.com/short-fictio...

I may be new here. But this right here is worth your time and money. Order a copy please

IT WAS PARADISE, our long-awaited special issue on war and conflict in environmental justice, is out today in ebook form, and the print edition is up for preorder! Edited by @soniasulaiman.bsky.social and with (terrifying) war monster art by @monarobot.bsky.social! reckoning.press/it-was-parad...

This war-themed issue of Reckoning, IT WAS PARADISE, was a long time in the making, but sadly evergreen in its relevance. I'm honored have a science fiction story here that keeps the focus on the human beings, struggling to survive a war machine that seems to have no face, ideology, or objectives.

My science fiction story is about a father trying to give his young daughter her heart's desire, in a landscape of desperation and mechanized horrors. "In the Foothills" will be free to read on April 20th, and the entire IT WAS PARADISE ebook is available now! rajivmote.wordpress.com/2026/03/23/i...

Release Day! The long-awaited "It was Paradise" from @reckoningmag.bsky.social is out today. I'm humbled "Life According to Tabeeb" is included in the stellar TOC. Come for the robots, stay for an impoverished Cairo community finally having enough. weightlessbooks.com/reckoning-it...

oh damn it's been 6 months. a lot of dark things happening, but this is one of the better things drawing my focus. appreciate all the folks who went out their way for it. blurbs. reviews. recs to friends. every short fic editor, fellow writer, reader from over the years. grateful for the support.

A week to go on those Hugo noms. If you’re reading for this award, I’d be honored if you’d consider this short story.

Hugo nominations close on March 28th! Would love if you considered my @uncannymagazine.bsky.social short story “Barbershops of the Floating City“! It was tied for 1st in the Uncanny Reader Poll, and is a story very close to my heart. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/barb...

TELL ME YOUR 🏳️‍🌈QUEER SHORT SFF🏳️‍🌈 OUT IN FEBRUARY 2026!!! Originals only pls, up to novella in length, indie okay. Just reply with the author, title, and a link to read and/or buy and I'll get them on the list. Here's January's list for context & more info: www.patreon.com/posts/some-q...

I write speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror & points in-between), and I also write reviews & essays. My short fiction is available in two short story collections: 🛤️ SIX DREAMS ABOUT THE TRAIN: mariahaskins.com/six-dreams-a... 🐺 WOLVES & GIRLS: mariahaskins.com/wolves-and-g...

If you're reading over coffee this Saturday, this novelette is temporarily available online again for the next month or so. Thanks if you check it out. undertowpublications.com/uncertain-sons

ONE WEEK for Hugo noms! I'd love if anyone could consider my novella, Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle! Or any of my work, really. Thank you! ❤️

I remain incredibly proud of my work here! With a week left in the Hugo nom period, I'd be honored if you'd consider this work about connection, power, identity, and the erosion of all those things: "Because I Held His Name Like a Key".

It's World Poetry Day so I thought I'd share the opening poem from my upcoming horror poetry collection THE BUILD-A-MONSTER WORKSHOP, out May 7th from @rdspress.bsky.social much love!! rawdogscreaming.com/book/the-bui...

I‘m so so proud of my story in SH last year (and so so thrilled with its gorgeous artwork by Catarina João); please consider it & all the wonderful stories / poems / editorial work featured in SH last year, esp. this wonderful Nebula Finalist poem by my brilliant friend @jenniferhudak.bsky.social:

New author thread, u up? ;) This week I'm featuring Christopher Degni. 1. WYSR "Life and Jacq and the Giant and Death" A gender bend of Jack and the Beanstalk! inkfoundry.net/review/why-y...

Jason Atkins‑Lawson gives us a glint, a chill, and a reminder of the things we carry long after they’re gone ✨ Cold Gold is live now, on Blue Villa Mag 🔗

I have a new weird flash story out today about spinal taps! 💉 Absolutely lost my mind to see my story featured on the top page of @electricliterature.com. Dream come true 😭

Thank you so much @emmiechristie33.bsky.social for the wonderful, week-long journey. I'll never forget it. And I should have mentioned that 'Son of the Sea' is a prequel to 'In the Teeth of the Gale'! Now, I'll look forward to all the other stories you'll read and share with the rest of us 🧡

And lastly, my overall Spotlight review! I had such a lovely time getting to know you through your work, Ramez!! www.emmiechristie.com/short-fictio...

So, technically this was my second sale, but first (fiction) publication. It's not often I get to publish stories with the entire species for protagonist, and rather like the view from the top 😇 As to the title, I have an engineer's rigorous mathematical grounding to blame!

This was a lot of fun to write. Dissecting human relationships is endlessly fascinating, more so those not often depicted. Humanity in all of its endless permutations. As always, @emmiechristie33.bsky.social gets it! Thanks to @translunartl.bsky.social for giving it a home.

It's short speculative fiction time. Here are ten of my favorites from February. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Reactor Magazine recently named my story "Rest Stop," as one of their February Must Read Short Speculative Fiction selections! Much love! reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

My poem “Vulture bees transfigure the man I tried to be” is now free to read in the first issue of @othersidespec.bsky.social! It’s an amazing issue full of fantastic stories and poetry, well worth a full read! othersidespec.com/pieces/vultu...

Big big CONGRATULATIONS!!! To the Nebula Awards Finalists!

Story day! ‘Letters from Light’s End’ is out now in @khoreo.bsky.social. This one’s a queer riff on ‘Interstellar’ - with added cosmic horror, hehe - and a response to Joe Haldeman’s ‘The Forever War.’ Thank you to the khōréō team, and my amazing TOC buddies! www.khoreomag.com/fiction/lett...

Congrats to FFers @jordankurella.com @thomasha.bsky.social @jenniferhudak.bsky.social @angelaliu.bsky.social @mariness.bsky.social on being named Nebula Award finalists!! www.sfwa.org/2026/03/15/n...

What a joy to share a ballot with such wonderful writers - congratulations, you rock stars!! And huge thank you's: to the readers and nominators, to @herlizardness.bsky.social, who pushed me to make this story the best version of itself, and to @strangehorizons.bsky.social for giving it a home. 💜
