I really appreciate that @bcsmagazine.bsky.social always gives a little bit of feedback on all their rejections. You all rock!

You can now read my story “Every Force Evolves a Form” online in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social

Thanks again to Scott Andrews for giving a home to this story of twisted love and dark redemption.

And I can say the same about @scott-h-andrews.bsky.social and @bcsmagazine.bsky.social, which also has a very professional contract.

Moreover, a publisher who only removes unfair clauses from contracts when they get pushback from more experienced writers or artists isn’t to be trusted.

A publishing contract is just that—a negotiated deal between parties that should honor the rights of *both* authors and publishers. But a contract that’s unfair to authors ultimately hurts publishers too. A publisher who tries to grab too many rights ultimately ends up with none, and rightly so.

I can't recommend BCS highly enough. Issue after issue of great fantasy. I subscribe through Weightless Books which sends each number right to my e-reader. weightlessbooks.com/beneath-ceas...

And finally, a story that is not sapphic (one of my few!) but is nevertheless a story of unexpected love between two people who were never supposed to meet. "Dreams in Burnished Silver" is my latest in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social (July 2026) and possibly my favorite story published this year.

7/8

From the Archives with BCS #467: "Home Bread" by R.E. Dukalsky, BCS #398 "If she concentrated on her memory of her body sitting at the feast instead of what her senses were telling her about the Famine Lands, she could feel hands resting on her shoulders." beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/home...

My 10,000-word novelette 'Aspect of the Moth' just got into Beneath Ceaseless Skies. It's the 15th Churchlands/Five Deserts story and the 6th to feature Tyrra the Painted, dye-worker turned wandering sorcerer. Also the first (published) to explicitly join that setting to my Broken Season stories.
