At last I can talk about my story in the wonderful new #StarWars anthology #FromaCertainPOVReturns! I'm writing about the almighty Sarlacc: a vegetarian who's really sick of being force-fed random meat people.

Here is the official call for the Wuxia & Xianxia special issue of Strange Horizons.

I'm so delighted to be guest editing it with Joyce and Mia.

I'm specifically looking for fiction, poetry, and translations of fiction/poetry from Chinese, so please do pass this submission call along to writers & translators who might be working on something that fits.

@deirdrespencer this makes me sad, I saw so many movies there in high school

Friends. I wrote a UFO breakup story. It’s very short & kind of angry & weird & sexy & violent, which I write sometimes but usually no one likes

@Jennifer_Pinkley I enjoyed the books even with their (many) flaws but LOVE the series. They took all the gaps and filled them with gorgeousness and atmosphere and diversity and it works beautifully

A reminder that for the month of January, I'm asking for fiction from black authors only for @thedeadlands. I've got a great hold stack here, but would love to see more! https://thedeadlands.com/guidelines/

It’s like Star Trek in a sense, but more like what Earth might be like in the Star Trek universe.

For a good quick intro to #solarpunk I recommend checking out the stories from the Imagine 2200 contest, especially “Seven Sisters” and “A Holdout in the Northern California Designated Wildcraft Zone”. https://grist.org/fix/imagine-2200-climate-fiction-2022/

For novels, A HALF-BUILT GARDEN by Ruthanna Emrys and THE FIFTH SACRED THING by Starhawk.

Sleet not so much lol

@AshHowell yay! Get those apps in!

I got to write about my research for “The Roots in the Box and the Roots in the Bones” for the Asimov’s author blog and now you all get to go down this dark, wild rabbit hole with me. Bring a flashlight

I'm savoring the beautiful, potent RECKONING 7 @ReckoningMag that just released.

Two visceral WOWs so far: @suchnadine 's "The Bright in the Gyre" and CG Aubrey's "A Predatory Transience." Both chilling and satisfying, full of feels.

@octaviacade @priyachandwriter @MichaelJDeLuca and team, what an extraordinary issue!

Grab the issue and subscribe, you all! https://reckoning.press/reckoning-7/

As someone who has admittedly not read the book, I really enjoyed Kindred on Hulu and really hope they get renewed for a second season

Writers! PLEASE RT! Uncanny Magazine will be reopening to Flash Fiction submissions (750-1499 words) on February 1! https://www.uncannymagazine.com/submissions/

@xek it is exciting! From indoors at least 😬

Last time we got thunder the whole state caught fire so this is… better?

I have a new story out today in @ReckoningMag about a team of scientists, a dolphin, and a little splash of AI all in a race against climate change to make a connection. It's called SQUAWKER AND DOLPHIN SWIMMING TOGETHER, and it's really one of my favorite stories that I've ever written. The ebook is out now, and you can preorder the print edition. 🐬 🤖 👩‍🔬
