@therelphian.bsky.socialI try to stay off the socials a fair bit these days, so I was surprised and thrilled to find out I have been nominated for Best of the Net by Micromance Magazine and Best Small Fictions by @thehooghlyreview.bsky.social.
What an absolute joy, very glad I logged in today 💜💜
@therelphian.bsky.socialSpent the weekend in Derby for the Edge-Lit spec fic festival. Did some decent thrifting and spent loads of time with these absolute legends.
@mrlovelyday.bsky.social @meanerharker.bsky.social and @sjtownend.bsky.social
I was inspired, invigorated, and laughed so much. Trash Family are the best 💜
@therelphian.bsky.socialMatch made in heaven 💜
@therelphian.bsky.socialThe festival was good, but nothing like spending time with amazing writers who share your humour. More meet ups soon!
@therelphian.bsky.socialA beautiful rendering of a story. That you created this from prompts is especially impressive. Cow is one of my favourite Trash Cat Lit characters ever. Thank you for sending her my way 💜
@therelphian.bsky.socialWhat a lovely lineup to be part of 😍 Chuffed to be Trash Famming it with Ian @youcanandyouwill.bsky.social and Zoe @meanerharker.bsky.social. My piece is about the challenges of being a minister at the end of the world
@therelphian.bsky.socialAs always, I was blown away by what writers can do with the most random sets of prompts. These thirteen flash were outstanding. Thank you @thejokelark.bsky.social and @leighloveday.bsky.social for the second reading and help curating the issue. Now, go read it 😀
@therelphian.bsky.socialWe're all coveting cardirobes for reading now ☺️
@therelphian.bsky.socialBought for Trash Cat fave, @mrallanmiller.bsky.social , looking forward to finding lots more to laugh with - it’s sorely needed these days 😌
@therelphian.bsky.socialThank you to these heroes for publishing/accepting for publication my words:
