Yippee! We reached our funding goal of adding a novella to the anthology! All of the support you've shown means "Descent" by #WoleTalabi will be included in the book. Our next goals still stand: variant covers, +doubled author pay! 3 days left! http://kck.st/4wtYJ6X [in bio]

As a sky turbine repair tech, you're used to finding strange things caught in the mechanisms. Tiny dragonlet hoards stashed in gearboxes, or drifting spellweave wrapped around the blades like cotton candy. What do you carry down from the clouds with you today? #TinyTalesTuesday #WritingPrompt

Ruins, roots, that sort of thing

Just a few days left and some VERY exciting stretch goals still to go. 👀 My story is in this, alongside an intimidatingly excellent collection of others! Back now to add that novella and get us MORE cover art!! 😍

Did I just finish a new short story draft? For the first time since March 2024?? 😱

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I would pay good money to see S.S. Rajamouli's version of The Iliad.

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

Necromancy is a valid choice when you've lost a friend. André Geleynse's "Schrödinger's Bones" is a rough read for anyone who's lost a pet recently, but very very very relatable all the same:

It is raining on the night you dig up your dead kitten’s bones.

Hugely appreciative of Bona Books doing their due diligence in verifying suspected AI use by one of their contributors, and bringing this issue to light. A depressing read well worth your time.

AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:

You are all so amazing! We’re almost funded inside 24 hours!! If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new Best of SFF anthology we are Kickstarting, take a look! Clones and fireflies and knights, oh my! Locusmag.com/anthology (link in bio) #backthebook #sff #booksky

VERY EXCITED FOR THIS!! A new Best of the Year anthology series would be fantastic for the SFF world, and the folks at Locus are the perfect crew to make it happen.

Better late than never! Hexagon’s Year Five Anthology is coming soon. 🧡 With cover art from the brilliant @gustaffovargas.bsky.social 🐍

It's my great pleasure to announce the authors and their works selected for "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 2." Thank you to all the writers, editors, and publishers who sent in work for consideration. The print edition is now up for pre-order. undertowpublications.com/shop/best-we...

Critical Role Campaign 4 just keeps getting better with every arc. Truly a stunning show; it's such a pleasure to watch a group of performers this good at what they do, performing at the top of their game, pulling off something that doesn't seem like it should be possible.

Called to update some insurance info. "Hi! This is Ava, your digital assistant—" Me:"Oh COME ON." Long pause. "I'm sorry to hear that. Let me transfer you to another agent to assist you." And it passed me along to human. At least that part's efficient. 🙄

The fact that "Skarrsinger Karmelita" from the Silksong OST is only 1:47 long is a crime against me, personally
