I would really love to edit a Greek myth and folklore anthology written by Greek, diaspora and BIPOC authors. If any publishers or powers that be are listening. I’m shooting my shot.

I think takes like this are deliberately muddying the waters. Using spellcheck in Scrivener is not using AI. Grammarly, otoh, is a whole other ball game and I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot barge pole/ scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb/gene...

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

hello friends, my short story “the will of the god of music” has a shiny new home @podcastle.org !! feat. chronic pain / ‘what do you do when the thing you love also feels like it’s destroying you,’ classical music, smol gender feelings, & second person~ podcastle.org/2026/07/21/p...

Fuck Netflix in particular.

Thank you for helping us hit $25k! With just under 2 days left on the fund drive, will you help us raise our pay rates to 10c/word? Still more rewards left on the Backerkit campaign 👀

The Strange Horizons Annual Fund Drive to keep us publishing in 2027 is finally here! You can find the fund drive at the link ⬇️ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s... Some changes have arrived this time around though. Read the thread to learn more.

AI discourse is taking up too much oxygen (in addition to water) in writer spaces and it's bumming me right the fuck out. What is a delightful/weird/delightfully weird story you've read this year? Include read/purchase links. Get some humans paid.

Writers and editors are (mostly) on the same side. Our enemies are not each other, but the techbro billionaire fascists who stole our art and sold their plagiarism machine slop to the masses

My first ever #fantasy story, "The Troll Road," has been published by PodCastle @podcastle.org! It's a family-friendly tale involving a knight, a witch and a troll 😊 Read it at the link below (please do!) or listen to the audio version. podcastle.org/2026/06/23/p... #ShortStory #Writersky #SFF

I can finally share that my story "Putti Call" is PodCastle episode 952! Read by the amazing @dustyoldroses.com i am so excited for you all to hear it! #writingcommunity #shortstory 🏰💙📚

Just a little over $2000 to go before we're FULLY FUNDED! We're down to the wire folks, with about three days to go, so let's get this over the hump and across the finish line! 🙌

just today I read a great flash from @cjtavares.bsky.social in @smallwondersmag.com, a great poem from Gospel Chinedu in @othersidespec.bsky.social, and a great flash from @mimulus.bsky.social in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social. and this is just one day! SFF will blow your mind every day if you let it!

I'm on staff at Reckoning, one of many mags targeted by AI nonsense, and it would be amazing if people who saw our post about this also took the time to read some of the great stuff we published. for example, here's a reprint from Reckoning X about love and birds and the ecological cost of travel

Love in the Time of Te Rāhuinui | Reckoning

Ko wai ka kite i te hua o te kuaka? / Who has ever held a godwit’s egg?2 Not I. And I never will, I expect. This whakataukī about having faith in unseen forces has become a bitter pill for me to swall...

one thing that saddens me about the whole AI discourse in SFF is that people spend a lot more time discussing AI than they do reading, liking, sharing, and talking about all the great work that SFF magazines have been publishing. human-written stories should get more likes than AI takes

The subscription drive (to increase staff and contributor pay) is running until the anniversary of the magazine. We're about halfway to the goal. Thank you to everyone that has subscribed so far! clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Periodic reminder that if you don't like writing, you don't have to do it. By which I mean find another hobby, not outsource the writing you claim to be doing.

This is a good, tough thread. A couple of things I want to comment on, as an editor: Chacha/Ogechi/Collins/etc. has FOR SURE generated and submitted way more than they've gotten away with publishing. At least 8 to PodCastle alone. 80% of the scam is using multiple IDs to run a numbers game 1/5

Gwen C. Katz@gwenckatz.bsky.social · 4w ago

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

Closes tomorrow at midnight ET! Don't wait, other time zones...

thrilled to announce my story “revolutions, as told by a humble rice farmer” is forthcoming in @podcastle.org! 🥹 referencing tang dynasty poetry (悯农) it asks “what if we focused on this RANDOM RICE FARMER instead of the empire??” it’s a deconstruction of fantasy, nationalism, and also v queer

We are officially OPEN for Banned Books Submissions!! 🥳

Read some PodCastle submissions today and I want to say: I fucking love short fiction. Absolutely phenomenal work, keep it up, everyone!

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Oh hey, check out @podcastle.org ’s latest episode, out today! podcastle.org/2026/05/19/p... 🎉🥳 “Mail Order Magic” is the most personal story I’ve ever written, so it means a lot to have this audio version narrated by a friend, the amazing @tinaconnolly.bsky.social . ❤️
