@jason-h-abbott.bsky.socialHe crashed through fragile flame: An unseen soul struggling to crawl from candlelight. He latched onto the hand of the medium leading the séance.
For the first time, the conwoman heard the dead speak.
“Save yourself!” he said. “These people murder psychics!”

@jason-h-abbott.bsky.socialHe hasn’t noticed he’s been dead for six months. Unlike the others, I can see him working in his still vacant office.
“Hey Boss, I brought you coffee,” I say putting a cup on a dusty desk. “Let’s take a break.”
“There’s too much work.”
“No. No, there isn’t.”

The other authors in here are just incredible too as always - I can't wait to dig in.👀

@owlnsquirrels1111.bsky.socialMany thanks to Jason H. Abbott @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social , EIC for including my microfiction “The Margin Bleed” in this fantastic issue “Rebel” of #SciFanSat @scifansat.bsky.social
As usual, a fabulous cover page art. ✨✨ read it here:
@alanvmichaels.bsky.social🙏🏻 Jason, Kim, & Bartleby, for publishing “Rebel with a Hope.”
This “abduction” story has a special place in my heart, & it was submitted to #SciFanSat at 11:59pm—nothing like the last minute to spare!
I’m delighted everyone has the chance to read it.
I’d be pleased to know what you think of it.
@jorgecandeias.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySo yeah, I somehow managed to find a few minutes (and it was really just a few) to translate one of my short shorts to English and submit to #SciFanSat, as I thought it fit particularly well this month's theme.
And it got accepted.

@scifansat.bsky.socialNo need for rebellion, we’re gearing up the latest issue of #SciFanSat for release later this morning!
@jason-h-abbott.bsky.social“Draconic Sorceress”
The September #SciFanSat cover art I made for the new issue coming out this Saturday wasn’t designed with that role in mind. She started as a fantasy portrait crafted for fun, but then I took a shine to her punk-rebel vibe.
@jason-h-abbott.bsky.social“Utopia has always been at war with Dystopia.”
“Always?”
“Always.”
“But if ideals are mutable, if indestructible, changing if not dying—”
“Utopia has ALWAYS been at war with Dystopia, Citizen. What you propose sounds like Dystopian doublethink...”
@scifansat.bsky.socialSubmissions are now closed for September’s #SciFanSat issue, and we have begun assembling it for publication on Saturday, 09.26.2026. Many thanks to all the writers and poets who submitted pieces! Below are our upcoming themes for the rest of the year.
