A short, and super useful, four part thread on structure and recipes. Succinctly and clearly explained.

Thank you!! I have a fondness for it. <3

As well as the memory of reading it to an in-person crit group consisting of one very horror writer who loved it and two older, quite literary, grandfatherly men not used to genre writing, who were very Polite and Tactful about it. XD

There was a little more space between the acceptances, lol, but tonight was my "catch up on the paperwork of the last few days" night, and well. Here we are. XD

*out of breath, shuffling through papers* YES, well, we have that, too?? Somehow?? If you're in Lincoln area on the 16th??

"But Allison!" you may be saying. "Those sound so good! How am I to wait?"

Reminder that you can read this little amuse-bouche of a drabble that came out a few days ago over at @100footcrow.bsky.social :

I'm very excited for them to be out in the world, watching, studying, deciding Whether Your Skin Looks Tasty. :3

Second, my fairy tale-esque fantasy short story, "The Backwards Princess of Unusual Parentage" (originally published at @lunastation.bsky.social ) will be reprinted at @penumbricmag.bsky.social in the future!

And can I just say, announcing this while reading Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher... ;D

Contracts signed, so TWO short story sales to announce tonight!

Very happy that my new horror short, "Skin-Stealer Hates the Winter," will appear in a future issue of @chmmagazine.bsky.social !

It's a weird one, gross but perhaps cozy-leaning?

My "people-eater with food sensitivities" story. :D

OH HEY, what a coincidence, me seeing this while double-checking their handle for a lil announcement of my own!

Maybe we'll be TOC-mates!

Congrats!!

Since it's Black Speculative Fiction Month, I thought I'd share a story I love by a Black author each day. Since I'm starting 10 days in, I'll post a bunch to catch up. I'm going to do 15 from the Top 80 of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and 15 from Lightspeed/Nightmare.
