This looks like fun, although I'm a bit late to the party, sorry! Hi, I'm That Burnt Writer; I mostly write sci-fi and/or bodyshock horror. Traditions? I love when there's everyday situations subverted by an extended creeping sense of unease/dread just before the reveal... #HorrorWritersChat

Gree_@greethewriter.bsky.social · 2mo ago

My family was always quiet. We never spoke much. "Work before word." So says Father. So we do. My cousins braid my hair. My siblings weave a gilded gown about me. Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what traditions do you love see made nightmarish in media? #HorrorWritersChat

I just saw this album, which I adore, come up on YT Music, and thought "Jesus, 20th anniversary?"... then realised that next year is the THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.👀 Saw them on this tour and could've sworn it was less than a decade ago. Incredible band. Oh, and I'm not *that* old, I swear!😳😬😂

The minisub swept jagged monoliths with a silty beam of light. “Thousand-foot structures,” the pilot said. “There’s—” A swarm of humanoid blurs surged from abyssal shadows. ⁂ “DEEP-1, report,” radioed the surface. “What’s happening?” Static. #vss #sff

"Help," he grunted, leaning on the door frame. "I'm #wound -ed. Call an ambulan—" "Come in," I said, smiling faintly as he entered, and closed it behind him. "Please," he begged. "It's agony." "Hush now," I murmured, caressing the rusted blade behind my back. "It won't hurt much longer." #vss365

Ooof. Clever, though-provoking and heartbreaking all in one go. Incredible writing.👏👏👏

Everyone in A&E on Friday night compares #wounds. “You should see the other guy,” the woman with the black eye laughs. The waiting room falls silent. They all look at the husband. He hasn’t got a mark on him. Yet. #vss365

Oh, I feel this in my soul. Such a clever piece of writing.👏👏👏

Eileen Curley Hammond@curleyhammcozy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Silence It stretched and didn’t fill the void. She almost put music on but stopped. It seemed irreverent. “Mom, the clock needs to be #wound.” She didn’t move. “I’ll do it.” Tick, tick, tick. Maybe her time would come soon. #vss365

Just wonderful.👏👏👏👏👏👏 If you're not following @blsamaddar.bsky.social, why not?👀 Incredible writing, every time.

Bethany Samaddar - popping in & out@blsamaddar.bsky.social · 6mo ago

She lost her #lambent sky eyes in the crush of still life. She could see it, pursed behind irises— a dying speck of sun, shivering. She tried to pluck it from a memory, but like the ghosted flicker of stars, it was already light-years away. #vss365

I was never scared of my #shadow, it could never be blacker than my soul. Yesterday, I found it in the kitchen, selecting a carving knife. "I don't want to be free," it hissed, "just to kill you." Last night, I slept in a fully lit room. Not through fear, but to make it suffer. #vss365

This month's #SciFanSat includes a sci-fi horror of mine called Escape Pod Three. The other pieces in here are incredible too! Thanks, as always, to @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social and the SFS crew.💖 Free at www.scifansat.com Also, congrats to R.J. Glynn for winning the 2025 Bartleby B Boar award!👏👏👏

A new year, a new submission deadline for the fabulous #SciFanSat magazine, this time with a chilly theme indeed! Only a few hours left, so get writing! I've just submitted my short SF story "Escape Pod Three" where you might get to find out what's happened to Technical Specialist Jodie McKinley...

I sit as the wind howls, and the rain beats a violent tattoo against the window. Soon, I must leave this warmth, but I've had a sudden attack of whimsy and am wondering... is there any possibility I could be transported to my car on the back of a rubber ducky? Alas, not. Sad face. #SillyPoem #rain

I woke up on my 18th birthday feeling worldly wise. But the note under my pillow told me otherwise. “You’re #clueless!” it said. “As if!” I pouted. Nanna said I’d find true wisdom on my 50th birthday… Under my pillow, the note says, “Still clueless.” I nod. “I know.” #vss365

We've all wanted to do this...🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

Eileen Curley Hammond@curleyhammcozy.bsky.social · 7mo ago

He blathered on a topic about which others in the room were far more knowledgeable. They barely contained eye rolls, but when an hour passed, one brave soul stood and said, “You really are #clueless.” There was a collective gasp and then a slow clap. #vss365
