Hey, I'm in this one!!! "Eyeballs of My Eyes" is a very personal story to me, so I'm really nervous that people will be reading it, but also I'm excited that I made it into FFO so please give it a chance!!! 🦟👁️🔪

My favorite story from Issue 2 ❤️ I want a Fernie too 🪴 (Or a baby triceratops 🥺)

Adventitious.@adventitiouswords.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Here's the deal. I, too, want a sentient fern from the Cretaceous period. I want to bring Fernie home. I want to put Fernie wherever Fernie is comfortable. I want to be best friends with Fernie. (Angela Liu has done it again) www.adventitious.net/stories/fern... 🥬⌚🦕🍉👩‍👩‍👦‍👦

So glad my story "This is Why Magical Realism and Family Tree School Projects Shouldn't Mix" made it into Alex Brown's "must read" list 🥹 This silly little story is really special to me 🐐❤️ Go read it if you like parodies, magical realism, Latino lore, stories about family trauma, and goats 🐐

It's short speculative fiction time. Here are ten of my favorites from February. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Abigail Guerrero@gailguerrero.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Oh, look, it's a title card for my short story!!! I love that this captures how tragic and sad the story is beneath the layer of comedy 🐐 If you haven't yet read this first issue, you totally should. Not only because my story is in it, but because it comes with excellent TOC mates!

Adventitious.@adventitiouswords.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I don't know or care if I'm good at Instagram, but I'm having a blast making these title cards for stories. (This is for this story: www.adventitious.net/stories/magi...)

Bronze sculpture of a sleeping faun or satyr’s head, eyes closed and tilted gently to one side, with pointed ears, small horns, and a textured beard, set against a neutral gray background.

My first pro-rate story is now out to read for free! If you like genre parodies, magical realism, and references to Latinoamerican culture, you may like this one 🐐 Y sí, obvio que el abuelo de la protagonista se subió a un cerro para rebanarse al diablo con un machete, ¿cómo iba a ser que no? 🧓⛰️😈
