I found it to be of little use in writing anything of substance and I haven't used AI to write my stories. I've come to hate LLMs and I would never participate in a similar study today. I have been vocally against AI.

In 2022, before Chatgpt and everything that came next, I participated in this study. It was framed as a research on a new tool that I could try and offer my opinion on. I didn't know that it was trained on copyrighted material.

So happy to see my @uncannymagazine.bsky.social novelette "The Snatchers" translated into Spanish by Voces de lo insólito! ❤️
☀️Relato de agosto☀️ Ya podéis leer nuestro flamante relato del mes: «Los ladrones de cuerpos», de Eugenia Triantafyllou, una historia de terror queer inspirada en la mítica «La invasión de los ultracuerpos». Escalofriante y muy certera. www.patreon.com/vocesdeloins... @foxesandroses.bsky.social
And the vote passes! We now have a #specpo Hugo through 2029 at least, at which point it will go through a re-ratification process. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this effort & to my dear community of poets. Here's hoping translation is next.
Today is the day! (Probably, we can't know 100%) but the vote on a Poetry Hugo is scheduled at today's WSFS meeting, 12EDT/9PDT. If you're attending #LAConV you can come and vote! Please do. More info at the link about the business meeting: www.lacon.org/businessmeet...
So excited to be a part of this anthology!!!
We’re thrilled to introduce author @foxesandroses.bsky.social for our new horror anthology, Of Dread, Decay, and Doom! Learn more about Eugenia: www.starsandsabers.com/2026/07/17/a... #horror #books #horrorwriters #authorsofinstagram
😳 SOUR CHERRY won the Locus Award for First Novel!! 😳 Thank you so much @locusmag.bsky.social and congratulations to all finalists and winners! I wish I could have been there with you all. 🚀💫🌗🍒
The Snatchers go live on May 5th in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social along with a podcasted version and an interview with yours truly :)
On Patreon, Uncanny comes early. #70 starts with "The Snatchers." I don't think it's a spoiler to say this has something to do with Invasion of the Body Snatchers ... but it's fantastically reimagined and, yes, more relevant to today. @uncannymagazine.bsky.social @foxesandroses.bsky.social

My @strangehorizons.bsky.social poem "The blanket, the secret, the dark" was nominated for the Rhysling award!! Here is the poem. I'm glad it has been resonating. It's also eligible for the Nebula and Hugo this year <3 strangehorizons.com/wordpress/poetry/the-blanket-the-secret-the-dark/
The blanket, the secret, the dark
The birds have flown long ago. But the body, the body is like this: it has swallowed the smaller moon and now it wants to keep it.

Rhysling noms are open & Hugo/Nebula noms are opening soon 🚀 so here's an incomplete list of speculative poems I loved in 2025⬇️ In @strangehorizons.bsky.social: "The Blanket, the Secret, the Dark" by @rblemberg.bsky.social strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po... cont. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This is a truly wild decision to make. It's insulting to all the writers and past winners/nominees.
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration. Read on, and vote well! We trust our voters & look forward to what they choose to celebrate. www.sfwa.org/2025/12/19/p...

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.
So this happened. Today has been such a rollercoaster. Hug all your friends tight and celebrate every little joy when you can <3
