NEWS NEWS NEWS! beestung's Pleasure Issue is open for an extra few days for Black and Indigenous writers and writers of color! We deserve a little breathing room, and we're getting it Deadline: 6/20 Pay: $20 Guest editor: brilliant & savvy & looking forward to reading you up & down Theme: 🥵🫦🩲🍆🍑🎇

THE PLEASURE ISSUE: REAL + IMAGINARY SUBMISSION CLOSE: (BIPOC ONLY) 06/20/2026 FLASH FICTION + POETRY + CREATIVE NON-FICTION + ART PAY - $20.00 GUEST EDITED BY CHRISTIAN M. IVEYThis issue aims to interrogate the varying politics of pleasure via the difference between the erotic and the pornographic through flash fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and art. Pleasure does not exist in a vacuum. Which leads to what are the relationships between what we fear and desire, and how does how we engage signify these importances?

I've got an essay in Issue 02: IDOLS about my fondness for the xenomorph queen, so you'll want to get that one.

Queen Xenomorph from Aliens

Alt: Queen Xenomorph from Aliens lowering her head, considering Ripley's threat.

In this generative writing workshop, we will also have guided poetry prompts inspired by examples from our reading selections and quiet writing time to produce new poems that map out our postapocalyptic psyches.

If you were looking for something for bsky.app/profile/beck... I can thoroughly recommend the 'Taboo' issue by Lilac Peril press. A wonderful varied compilation of trans expression both written and visual. Even if you're not doing the readathon you would enrich your life immeasurably by reading it.
