@adventitiouswords.bsky.socialAside from the obvious, this is the apotheosis of “popular.” What’s the point if we’re asking the bots what to like?

My story, “In Every Seed, a Hope” from @tractorbeamearth.bsky.social was named as a recommended read in Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction Volume 4.

@wiswell.bsky.socialReposted by @adventitiouswords.bsky.socialIn light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

@undertow.bsky.socialReposted by @adventitiouswords.bsky.socialSome may recall the great run we had with my 'lit rag' Shadows and Tall Trees. A Shirley Jackson win, several stories reprinted in "Best Of's. Our new lit rag, Pale Grey Idol, harkens back to that aesthetic. 100 pages at 5" x 8". A little gem of dark wonders.
