As we enter the second half of Issue 13's reading period, we would love to see more transhumanist or cyberpunk flash fiction.

We have a fair number of longer dystopian works, and want to round out with our futuristic meat and potatoes

Only 1 hour into the Flesh Fiction LL episode and wanted to shout that I found @elisescott.bsky.social's commentary and discussion to be really insightful!

I should thank @reactorsff.bsky.social and their "Reading the Weird" column for introducing me to this book!

"A horrific read that will suck you in."

"The level of stress might make your head hurt."

Now if I could only send this to people close to me in my life without sending it to them... It's mind boggling to me that my biggest support pillars (aside from partner, ofc) are people I've met through a screen.

(Confidently posting here bc they do not follow and therefore will not see this πŸ˜‚)

Ashlee Lamon Quote overlay that says, "And if you’re chortling and saying well, that’s not my problem, you might be right. But you’re here, reading this β€” you’ve read this far β€” so, you know. It’s worth asking yourself: do your characters really have reasonable and compelling options constantly presented to them as they pursue whatever their goal is?"

Get a little deeper on character conflict with Ashlee Lhamon in her substack, The Pulp Pit.

Well that was a lovely story. Hope the judges think so, too. A huge thanks to my goblins for their swift and pointed feedback.

I love that figure 6 of "France En L’An 2000" is basically a metaphor for AI, though it could be more apt if the children were represented as sieves and the information as water.

I'm so excited to see my story "Waste-fed, Beast Born" on page 16, alongside so many awesome writers!

Twisted is home for quirky cool stories, and their writing contest has helped spawn some of my favorites.

To help my vast threads feel more manageable, I'll need:
Supplies.
Dedicated time slots.
Dedicated space.
I'll need to research and think about my organizational options, what would be most useful for my specific needs, and discern my non-negotiables.
