I've just submitted a piece of flash fiction that is kind of a crossover and has two old friends, character wise, from different universes I've been writing... ๐

Oh, this is fabulous!๐๐๐๐

04.11.2025 12:34 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Haha. Does seem up my alley, although I hope they did some basic level research into how each writer would fight. Like Hemingway should be able to box, and maybe Lovecraft can conjure unearthly horrors to aid him.

03.11.2025 19:45 โ ๐ 13 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 4 ๐ 1The newest edition of #SciFanSat (@scifansat.bsky.social) was out yesterday, and I'm proud to have two pieces in there; a Flash fiction revisiting some old friends, and a poem for my youngest called, appropriately enough, Daughter.
Thanks as always to @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social and the SFS crew.๐
๐๐๐ I can still hear that as clearly as I did many, many years ago.๐๐๐
17.10.2025 09:04 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0๐๐๐๐ Awesome - this is definitely going to be an inspiration for a future piece of writing for me.๐๐๐

I've just submitted two pieces, one fantasy๐ flash that revisits characters from Issue 22 (IYKYK), and one piece of poetry; fingers crossed!๐ค
Sometimes, a cup of tea with a friend is a far more valuable use of time than any other.
Thank you to one of mine, who I've not seen for a while, but who shared time with me today.๐
Powerful words.
05.10.2025 20:16 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Thank you for such kind words!
I've not read all of it yet either, but I saw the title of yours and had to read it first .. and glad I did!๐๐๐
So, although I've got a sci-fi/black humor short story in this month's #SciFanSat, and I'd LOVE for you to read it, please allow me to draw your attention to the editorial by @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social
It's important, so take the time time to read it, and stay safe.๐

Great piece, and #6 gave me a mental image and a half.๐๐๐๐
