We've said it before, but we'll say it again. If you "write" with AI and manage to trick a magazine, you are not just stealing from us. You are stealing a place from a real writer and robbing human connection from a reader. Shame on you!

At the Nebulas, @maryannemohanraj.bsky.social, the founder of Strange Horizons, spoke about the origins of the magazine and how it started at a time where there were few opportunities for short story writers, particularly new writers, to have their work published. (1/3)

This carved stone plaque was found in St Francis' Row in Cashel, and it is believed to be the sign for a tavern that was known as The Cat & Bagpipes, that once stood on the main street. It may date to as early as the 16-17th century, and offers a glimpse of Cashel's social life from centuries ago

WE'RE SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!! Alright, so a couple of years ago we left Twitter and migrated to this much better site. And while we do not regret that decision at all... our sales last year took a serious hit. I mean, we lost a good 50% of our readers. The hope was we would slowly build

Thank you to everyone who reported abuse of this publication that was publishing many many many people's work without their permission after scraping Daily Science Fiction's archives. The site appears to be taken down now, and may it stay that way forever.

Beth Cato@bethcato.bsky.social · 2w ago

Hey! If you were published at Daily Science Fiction, be aware that a site called Science Fiction Weekly has stolen the entire story database & posted it on their site. All of my DSF stories are there without my permission. sciencefictionweekly.com

Space Unicorns!! The Uncanny Magazine KICKSTARTER is currently sitting at almost 77% funded!!! A HUGE THANK YOU if you have already backed it!! BUT...if you want a ONE MONTH short story submission period instead of just two weeks...THEN WE ONLY HAVE TWO DAYS TO FULLY FUND!! buff.ly/YXbF3WP

I often think writers would benefit from looking at the second (or third, or thereabouts) sentence of their story and maybe making *that* the first sentence instead.

Honestly, the uniform really could use an upgrade, its getting to be unbearable...

C.Piveral@cpiveral.bsky.social · 3w ago

That old uniform, the one you’ve been wearing since the beginning of time and never really fit well—isn’t it ready for an upgrade? Ani thinks so. Can’t a psychopomp catch a break? “Updating a Uniform Made From the Fabric of the Universe” is out now in this issue!

Our limited demographic window ends soon! Of course, you can still submit in the general window next month, but it's our goal to publish more authors of historically marginalized backgrounds, so send us your stories and poems! For our full guidelines and schedule, visit: www.havenspec.com/submit/

THIS! Our family couldn’t afford much in the way of books… but the library could. I *lived* in that place, and read everything I could lay my hands on. If I’m worth anything as a writer, it’s because of the library. I’ll be delighted if you get or read my books there!! 😃

Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3w ago

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Hi, we are working on making some site upgrades to all the sites, hopefully disruption will be minimal, but if you have some difficulty try again in a while. If you still see anything tomorrow let us know
