I'm glad haha, it shows! Fun fact, I do a weekly mini short story club with one of my friends and we had picked your story to discuss! Glad we chose it, it's going to be fun to talk about tomorrow :))

Thank you, so glad it worked for you :D

Just read this one, such a delight! The character energy and the juxtaposition of the "intended" scripts with how the two were thoroughly enjoying themselves was so fun. Loved it :D

Congrats on 20 years, Clarkesworld!

Delighted to have a new story in here. "The Rice Paper Bleed" has Westerns + weirdness + a widow convinced her room changes in the night πŸ“ΊπŸ‘€

It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.

Text in the center reads: 20 Years Oct. 2006 - Oct. 2026, clarkesworldmagazine.com

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.

"Missing Helen" by @tiatashiro.bsky.social is a deep introspection on "self" that ingeniously uses the 2nd person to build characters and story immersion (a lot coming from me as ordinarily I hate this POV but it really worked here). Loved it! A must read: clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_07_25/

@tiatashiro.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 4:17 PM

Congrats!

@tiatashiro.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 6:27 PM

Love to hear it! There definitely could be more in the world :))

Just finished listening to "Every Hopeless Thing" by @tiatashiro.bsky.social performed by @katercakes.bsky.social from @clarkesworldmagazine.com 214 (July 2024). A post-apocalyptic Earth story which left me with a smile on my face. Wonderful characters. clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_07_24/

Our subscription drive is still going and is now 70 new subscribers short of its goal. We had hoped to reach that in time for our 20th anniversary issue in October so we could give everyone their raises as part of that celebration. It's going to be close. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

@tiatashiro.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 11:15 AM

It's an excellent story, thank you for writing it! :D

@tiatashiro.bsky.socialSep 14, 2026, 9:54 AM

I'm so glad to hear Leavetaking worked for you! Thank you for the kind words, it's lovely to know you enjoyed the story <3 (and I hope whatever landed you in the hospital resolves okay!)

@tiatashiro.bsky.socialSep 8, 2026, 11:50 AM

That was SUCH a fun table talk! Thank you for coming, and I'm glad you enjoyed it, too :D
