We're returning to author features and finishing up Issue #11!
@parkeriswriting.bsky.social gives a multidimensional twist to capitalist envy in "Instructions for Self Reflection."
we were at a school assembly this morning. and hearing em laugh and cheer and be kids, all that brightness, you really can't help but feel deep in your gut that it takes unthinkable evil to intentionally hurt and kill children anywhere. the world leaders massacring kids are beyond lost to humankind.
Congrats!
IT’S HERE ‼️ And yes I cried when I hit send on the issue for subscribers. I hope you love this issue as much as we do.
Local bookstore is playing hollow knight music and reminding me that I never beat Silksong
And now, my capstone review for @elijah.mea.rs ! Elijah, it's been wonderful reading your work : )

At best, eating a banana is like eating a waterlogged piece of 400 year old flotsam. At worst it’s like eating baby food prepared by a demon
A perfect storm for my three interests of writing, reading Apex, and living in Rochester
Calling all concept-driven science fiction short stories (and novelettes) published in 2025! I'm looking for bangers I might have missed that fit this brief: compellingsciencefiction.com/posts/call-f...
If you can share this with your favorite SF author/publisher/editor, I'd be grateful!
Unfortunately small presses close all the time, and their baby bird books need to find a new nest. My fledgling sun-vampire queer cannibal novella, SUNBATHERS, now needs a new home, as does my sapphic pirate novella QUEEN O'NINE TAILS.
If you know a toothy little home for either, please hit me up!
Stoked!
Congrats!!!
Thanks Chad!

As I did stand my watch upon the hill,
I looked toward Birnam, and anon methought
The Wood began to move. (Macbeth, Act V scene 5)
LOOK AT THIS TABLE OF CONTENTS AAAAAAAAAA!!!
Honestly, I kept tearing up while I was making these images. We started planning for @othersidespec.bsky.social in the summer of 2024, and… here we are. This is the best thing I’ve ever done. This is the best day. I can’t wait for March.
This is real. I was just there and everything was blurred yet vaguely melancholic
a bird and music notes with a starry night background
