ISSUE ONE IS LIVE!!! (Link in bio) Spread the word. <3
Stories don't exist outside the world that makes them. They question it. Challenge it. Survive it. Sometimes, they change it. Force & Fable, a fanzine about speculative fiction, the people who create it, and the world that creates them, launches September 1st. We hope you'll join us.
Fantasy has always understood this. Every forbidden book. Every rebellion. Every dragon guarding forgotten history. They're all asking: Who gets to decide what stories survive? That's the conversation we're beginning at Force & Fable. Join us in August.
Every fantasy world asks the same question: Who gets to hold power? The answers are what make them unforgettable. #fantasy
I'll go first: "A girl who learned too late that love and duty rarely survive each other." Now your turn. Describe your favorite fantasy book in one sentence without naming it. Let's see how many we can guess. #fantasybooks #fantasyreader #booklover #readersofinstagram
Okay, real question: What’s the last book that haunted you? Not necessarily #horror. Just a book that stayed with you in a strange, persistent way. #bookcommunity #scifi #fantasybooks #thriller #romance

I miss having a President of the United States.
Okay, serious question: What fictional world would you actually survive in? Not where you *want* to live. Where you genuinely think you’d make it. Fantasy, horror, sci-fi, weird little corners of fandom all welcome. #bookdiscussion

Issue One theme: Artist Response to Oppression. How do stories help us survive difficult times? For our first issue, we’re exploring how genre fic, art & criticism help us resist, heal, survive, and imagine something different. What story stayed with you when life got hard? Coming Summer 2026.
Some stories feel ancient the moment you read them. The Familiar by #LeighBardugo felt like stepping into a dark folktale lit entirely by candlelight. What’s a book that completely pulled you under its spell?
Some stories don’t leave. They settle in somewhere and just… stay. I’m always curious—what’s one you still think about?
New fanzine that I'm proud to be a part of. First issue coming this summer. Follow Force and Fable for upcoming details and updates.
forceandfable.bsky.social@forceandfable.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe’re not chasing trends or hot takes. We’re interested in the deeper current—the way speculative fiction reflects fear, power, love, resistance, and everything in between. This is a space for readers who stay with stories long after the last page. #fanzine #forceandfable
In our first issue, we’re exploring how writers use science fiction, fantasy, and horror to respond to censorship, hostility, and the pressure of a world that doesn’t always want their stories told. Coming Summer 2026. #fanzine #forceandfable
