Well, there is one "circumvent." "You circumvent safety protocols and anti-tampering measures, cutting out the ship’s eyes before it can see what you are doing, silencing systems and subordinate programs before they can scream for help." "Ellipsism" by @danpeacock.bsky.social

Oh my gosh, that one! Grinding my teeth all along LOL. Great example of how you can love a story when the only thing you want to do is throwing shoes at the character (murderous shoes preferably). Masterclass in how to have a despicable chsracter and still hook your readers!

This story reveals there are many upsides of being captured by pirates - not least that you get to write a fantastic post for your favourite business networking website! translunartravelerslounge.com/2026/02/15/i...

I have a new sci-fi story published in @translunartl.bsky.social today! This one’s slightly painful to read, as it’s told in the style of an unhinged motivational LinkedIn post. translunartravelerslounge.com/2026/02/15/i...

“Take Flight” into @danpeacock.bsky.social’s moving family-centered, near-future, climate fiction story! kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

Have you read? Take Flight by Dan Peacock at kaleidotrope Dan always writes the most heart-wrenching of stories. kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

“Take Flight” by Dan Peacock

For those who don’t want to click, that favorite of the month is “Take Flight” by @danpeacock.bsky.social, pairing a small-scale story of finding a thought-extinct bird with big family disputes about leaving a dying earth kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

"Take Flight" by @danpeacock.bsky.social brings some powerful eco fiction about birds and fathers and sons.

This is a really good story about the struggle between wanting to save something that might be dying and escaping in order to save yourself.

My newest story, “Take Flight”, is out now in Kaleidotrope! On a half-abandoned future Earth, an ornithologist discovers a critically endangered bird nesting beneath a spaceport launch pad. kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.
