I am THRILLED to be in this anthology alongside such an exciting line up! My story 'Hush, Little Sister' is a creepy house and sibling tale with an SF twist... 🏚🤖👻 👭

Thanks to Alan Lastufka // Shortwave Publishing & Kristina Horner ✏️✨ for giving this story the perfect home! 🖤🎉

Watching bae at the Feminism & the Future panel!

today i am thinking yet again of Elmo's struggle

'No one had yet asked me what my favorite kind of cloud was,' Elmo thinks in this short story by Lindz McLeod. 'Bitterness rankled. Probably somebody had asked Rocco what his favorite kinds of clouds were.' catapult.co/stories/lindz-…

I recently compiled a list of how I approach line editing my own stories, and I figured I might as well share. Pls bear in mind that I'm no professional editor. I'd never dare call myself that.

So, a 🧵 on line editing your own stuff 🧵

New story by Sage Tyrtle 'We all agree that Michelle K. gets first dibs on the new boy.

Her hair’s the longest, and besides, her last boyfriend had a Corvette and was in university.'

Yesterday I closed all my open tabs. Every single one (and there were a LOT).
I feel... so free.

Got 60 seconds this afternoon? Fancy a wee flash? I've got just the thing 👇

Both Editor's Showcase pieces are live. Two very different stories, but both, among other themes, speak to the often harsh differences between reminiscences and realities, old and new.

Can you believe it's already November? Me neither. But the start of a new month means it's time for a THREAD! Let's take a moment to look back at all the great fiction that was released by FFers in October!

In case you missed it, this story I wrote with Lindz McLeod begins, 'You wanted to go swimming so much, go ahead.' There's a shark in the pool. Not a Jaws-size shark. A shark with a real fin and real teeth and real eyes that are staring at me...
