@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialThis jabba has a weariness in his eyes that isn’t present in the original character. It’s like the artisan knows some deep part of jabba we aren’t privy to. In conclusion you should buy it asap go go go
@yelenacrane.bsky.socialReposted by @parkeriswriting.bsky.socialSo many fantastic stories in this issue. I am especially obsessed with @parkeriswriting.bsky.social 's flash "right here, on this spot" and how exploring the past of one place serves as an exploration of self.
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialThanks, Yelena!!

@tarvolon.bsky.socialReposted by @parkeriswriting.bsky.socialFavorite from this set is “Puddlejumping” by @parkeriswriting.bsky.social, which sets the tone with a strong opening and delivers a heart-wrenching personal tale with just the right kind of ending
@tarvolon.bsky.socialReposted by @parkeriswriting.bsky.socialGot another batch of miniature magazine reviews out. Take a look!
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialThanks, Jay! Excited for this one to be out in the world!

@kaidelmas.bsky.socialReposted by @parkeriswriting.bsky.socialPublication day! 🥳🎉🙌 My collection "After You Were Lost" was published by WATG Press today. It's a collection that means a lot to me, and I'm excited that people will finally get to read it. All of the 23 flash and micro stories within deal with grief in different ways. Something I know much about.
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialThanks!!
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialI will continue to write distressingly bleak science fiction until morale improves
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialThey screened it at my local indie theater last year; I felt like the scarcity of the dialogue made the story deliberately inscrutable (for better or worse). Incredible atmosphere and tone, though, even if I felt like I barely understood what was happening
@parkeriswriting.bsky.socialnew story out today in @nightshadesmag.bsky.social. Yes it's a weird POV and yes its written like a long speech to text message don't worry about it!
