BCS needs our support!! They are good people and they publish amazing fiction.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies Magazine@bcsmagazine.bsky.social · last yr.

The BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to keeping paying our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium. Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But <1% of our readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/2
