ICYMI, ECO25 editor Marissa Van Uden chose two stories from Reckoning 9 to include in The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction: "The Piano Player Has Eight Arms" by @ideofmarch.bsky.social and "We Will Not Dream of Coral" by @mariocoelho.bsky.social! Congratulations, friends!

'Unto the Godless What Little Remains', whose author is incredibly attractive and recently achieved one-armed pull ups, basically predicted ChatGPT and all this shittery with AI. The author is a genius. I wish I knew him.

If you ever feel discouraged as a writer, think of the time I got a vaguely threatening, negative personal rejection from a transgressive lit magazine.

It's out and beautifully done <3. Support your local dead billionaire.

New podcast episode! @mariocoelho.bsky.social's "We Will Not Dream of Corals" is a deeply satisfying story about symbiotic coral polyps joining forces with humans to defeat billionaires and save the world. Narrated by @bernie-jsyk.bsky.social, produced by Aaron Kling reckoning.press/podcast-epis...

I've been yapping about this for years. The whole rest of the world reads translated fiction on the regular. The Hugos *really* need this category.

Hello, Bluesky! This is a weird day to go live with this project, but: this is an initiative to add a Translated Speculative Fiction category to the Hugo Awards. If you are a fan of global SF, and want to put some more "World" in "Worldcon", check out our site! Lots more to come. translatedhugo.org

I've been lurking on an AI "writing" subreddit. Caught this gem yesterday.

💾 New from me: i interviewed @cara.city about the Telnet literary zine New Session, rejecting algorithms & AI brainrot, and the return of what i’m calling the Slow Internet 🐢 🖥️

This Queer Online Zine Can Only Be Read Via an Ancient Internet Protocol

New Session publishes poetry via Telnet, rejecting the internet’s fast-paced enshittification.

reminded today of a story I wrote about hockey and the folks it eats up only to spit out later. you can read "GOAT" over at Joyland joylandmagazine.com/fiction/goat/

Just caught this in the wild <3

Recommend reading this cli-fiction by @mariocoelho.bsky.social. It's very to the point that that it's ordinary, fed up people taking action who will make a difference (though the corals certainly help) reckoning.press/we-will-not-...

And today I blog about "Unto the Godless What Little Remains" by @mariocoelho.bsky.social, an excellent cyberpunk-ish novella that definitely didn't get the attention it deserved. I had already read it, but it's always a pleasure to return to these pages. [blog in Portuguese]

Huge, huge respect to Samantha Mills. The Hugos apparently excluding Chinese-language novels is even worse than the other censorship shenanigans. Really hammers home the idea that it's an award by Anglo authors, to Anglo authors. Anglocon, not Worldcon, I guess.

Samantha (Sam) Mills@samtasticbooks.com · 2y ago

My thoughts on not really winning a Hugo. (Apologies for a long summary of much-repeated detail, this is my record for myself as much as anybody else. Feel free to correct me if I got anything royally wrong.) samtasticbooks.com/2024/02/17/r...

'Burn You the Fuck Alive' by B.R Yeager was as brilliant as I was expecting. Yeager writes the horror of the human body* like nobody else does, or dares to. *Not to be confused with body horror, which there's also loads of here.

Just finished Unto the Godless What Little Remains by @mariocoelho.bsky.social and aside from a banger of a title, the story itself is sharp, sad, and full of foreboding about the present and the future. Highly recommend. I devoured it like a rogue AI starved for meaning.
