We are a paying science fiction magazine dedicated to publishing quality science fiction short stories, science articles, and poetry. Find us here: https://www.utopiasciencefiction.com/
I’m officially a weird fiction author! (Whether my writing is “weird” vs just weird is a bigger question). See my human-alien separation lament in @utopiascifi.bsky.social weird fiction special issue. So honored to be included!

In my ancient history, when I was learning about antiparticles while studying physics, I pondered what other 'impetuses' might have particle-antiparticles. Eventually those ponderings evolved into my story "Blobs of Luck" which you can read in the latest edition of www.utopiasciencefiction.com
This has one of my most interesting interviews - big thanks to S. T. Joshi! #weird

Since it is apparently eligibility reminder season, I published one novelette in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social , one short story in @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social , and one poem in @utopiascifi.bsky.social last year. I would be honored if you considered any of them for appropriate awards.
Coming soon! This will be for our March episode

As we move towards our Cozy Science Fiction Issue, we're thinking about the kinds of worlds we'd like to live in so we'd like to pose that age old question: would you rather be a jedi in the Star Wars Universe or an elf in Middle Earth? #lotr #starwars
We really enjoyed reading your insightful comments here!
Day 39! I read False Equivalencies by @evgiaconia.bsky.social published in @utopiascifi.bsky.social. What really defines us? What we do, or what we can do? Or something else entirely? Read my review here:

Figure detail of TABLETOP RAMBLER padding in profile along rocky terrain. Its front paw is poised to take a step, moving in unison with one back leg that has just parted from the ground. With long ear pinned back against its body, there’s a sense of motion.
Facial detail of TABLETOP RAMBLER featuring the head of the creature with eyes glowing, a dot of green focused past the full salmon pink moon and off panel left.
Subsequent conversations over the next day or two gave me time to add a moon and other details, employing the colors I had on hand at the moment.
He looks determined to make his way, and I’m betting he has a sizable appetite. Better steer clear of him! 4/4

Y'all. You sent me and @utopiascifi.bsky.social WAY TOO MANY amazing Weird poems. My choices! They have become so hard! 😭
We love reading the reviews on Tangent Online, particularly when they cover us. It's an especially good read for writers, searching for what reviewers like in a story!

On the SF side, my favorite poem of 2025 is "them // us" in @utopiascifi.bsky.social!
🚀 They
drop from the sky at moonrise
when silver beams twist around their silver capsule.💫
