- Reposted by MalinaThe anthology I'm in is up for pre-order 🥰 A story featuring correct spelling of the word "torsos," without an extra E. Because who would do that? A person who while trying to turn off all AI functions, turned off spellcheck too? Leading to a mortifying editors note? Not me. You can't prove it.

- Reposted by MalinaThere is not a day where love doesn't help just a little. Where kindness won't matter. Kindness and love always matter. I care to my marrow, and I love when people let me. I love when people respond in kind. Share in kind. Show in kind. Things are ghastly. Love out loud. Share the good stuff.

- "You cannot see Stories from the inside, not usually. You only see your life. It's only after, when they're done, that you can see the shape, the tropes which snared you." Such a great story from @japrenticewrites.bsky.social @apexmag.bsky.social Issue 151
- Check out this intriguing story, A Toast to Impossible Futures
- What happens when a character doesn't do what they're supposed to? Can they break out of their story and shift into a new one? @japrenticewrites.bsky.social explores this idea in "The Horrible Conceit of Death and Night" @apexmag.bsky.social
- Check out this exciting new release!

- Reposted by MalinaI like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.
- Reposted by MalinaWe have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

- "I found an old god in the woods, shivering, starving, forgotten. With eyes of gold, skin the color of old loam hardened and wrinkled as time, fingers the roots of trees, and a tongue of moss, tā begged for help." A lovely lyrical story from @montelin.bsky.social, Apex Magazine @apexmag.bsky.social
- Looking forward to the launch of this lovely anthology from Dragon Soul Press with a story of mine in it! Coming out January 31st ✨
- Reposted by MalinaMost stories aren’t written for everyone. They’re written for someone. Your Story Match exists to help that meeting happen— quietly, intentionally, and without pressure. Authors are welcome to place their books here: yourstorymatch.com
- Crystal clear prose transports you into the story and small, unique details make the characters feel alive! If you haven't read it yet, I recommend you do.
- "One by One" by @lindzmcleod.bsky.social (issue 148). "My best friend’s desk was empty on Monday morning." Oof! This story! Queer, and beautiful, and heartbreaking, I swear I tear up just thinking about it. ❤️ www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

- 'Yarn as Warm as a Dragon's Breath' by Amanda Saville, 'The Washing Witch by Erin Keating' and 'The Braided Lintel' by Amanda Fetters are all cosy enough to sink into and not want to leave! My top three for cosy fantasy short stories of 2025. @translunartl.bsky.social @hearthstories.bsky.social
- 'Miles To Go Before I Sleep' by @bethgoder.bsky.social was such a powerful, surreal story with very real emotions, that I've chosen it along with two other stories for the category Most Emotional Short Story, 2025. @thedeadlands.com
- 'The Tawlish Island Songbook of the Dead' by @emlinden.bsky.social is one of three picks for best dark speculative fiction. @podcastle.org podcastle.org/2025/02/18/p...

- My pick for Funniest Speculative Flash Fiction of 2025 is 'The Forest Through the Teas' by @wendynikel.bsky.social from @flashfictiononline.bsky.social https://www.flashfictiononline.com/article/the-forest-through-the-teas/

- No one at the @londonwriterssalon.bsky.social resolved the issue. They left me in a breakout room alone, they ignored my messages and didn't let me back into the session. Writing this so others can be aware.
- @londonwriterssalon.bsky.social Got stuck in a breakout room alone... Now can't get back into the main session!
