2026 is the year to get UNHINGED 😈 We're open to subs for the wildest, weirdest speculative erotica you've got: make it queer, make it unexpected, make it HOT 🥵🐙💦 www.nygelmag.com/submissions

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

Beginning of the year plea: I am always on the lookout for collections of weird fiction by nonwhite authors, especially those that will be published in 2026. If you wrote one or are publishing one or just know of one, please get in touch. doomsdayer.wordpress.com/contact

During the first week of October, @spicycloaca.bsky.social and I are running an open sub call for the zine that will accompany their book Gore Poetics. 500 words max on the theme FLESH. Pay is 10 cents/word. Samir's book is weird, erotic, and often transgressive vibewise, so keep that in mind.

We’re going to be closing to submissions from 12pm BST tomorrow (12th September). Not sure exactly how long for, until we get caught up. If you want to get something in, send it in before then.

IT'S OUT TODAY! Ancient family lore. Secrets passed down through generations. A feeling of belonging...or, of not. Heritage and horror, ancestry, things we pass down through our bloodlines. Stories that have deep, foul roots. I'M SO PROUD OF THIS BOOK! GET YOURS: titanbooks.com/72017-roots-...

Heads up! I have a story in this anthology. Keep yours eyes peeled for the Kickstarter on the 15th!

Our Kickstarter campaign is now coming September 29th! Turns out Halloween is busy (who knew)—and with our co-founders' schedules, it makes more sense to end the campaign on October 29th instead of the 31st! That’s VERY SOON! We are VERY EXCITED! In the meantime: follow our pre-launch campaign? 👀

It's officially fundraising time over at @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social, and we're doing things a little differently this year. Help a pro-paying, deeply-progressive, 100% human magazine continue to thrive. We'll love you for it. gofund.me/ca0c2b7d

I survived my first WorldCon and second convention ever! It was a bit exhausting as an introvert, plus I commuted every day because I live close enough. Great overall, got to meet so many folks in person for the first time after years of being mutuals online.

I’m wandering around the dealers room right now at WorldCon if you wanted to say hi.

I’m having a great time watching panels, hanging out with folks I previously only knew in the digital realm, and meeting new folks. WorldCon has been overstimulating at times, so if you’ve seen me and I’ve been a bit aloof, that’s why. Still free to say hi if you see me hiding in a corner somewhere!

Made it my first WorldCon! Now I’m standing in the registration line from hell. 😩

With two generations of autistic people in my house, I can confidently say “fuck you” and “kiss my ass” to this entire administration. Determining someone’s worth as a human being by whether or not they can hold down a job and be a “productive” member of society is despicable and ableist as fuck.
