Thank you omg 🥹 I have a soft spot for doomed F/F
My one-sided, sapphic yearning story told from the POV of a sword is out now in Diabolical Plots!
Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

Thanks for writing it! ☺️
3. Magical Girl: Corporate Failure by @thelialao.bsky.social in @havenspec.bsky.social
Magical girls! Regrets! A depiction of mundane life after saving the world!
2. Magical Girl Antifa War Machine by @esther-alter.bsky.social in @escapepod.org
Magical girls as metaphor for the unceasing responsibility to fight for justice in an unjust world. Fascinating questions about vengeance as well.

1. “Counting To A Hundred” by @aishatuado.bsky.social in @heartlines-spec.com
Love love love the imagery in this. A girl reckons with the tragedy of having to grow up too soon and be a parent to not only her younger brother but also her own parents.
I made a punch card for my short fiction reading this year! Each dragon represents 10 stories. Let’s see when I can finish this one. I’ll be logging stories under this post:
One of Studio Ghibli's underrated ones, Whisper of the Heart! It's a cute romance between a writer and a violin maker.
Thanks for this thoughtful reading! ☺️
"Who Can Hold a Princess" in @diabolicalplots.com by @vivianmliu.bsky.social takes the perspective of a sword in a quietly agonising depiction of sapphic yearning. The perspective of an object that can't act by itself perfectly complements a character whose act is un-reciprocated.
Thanks so much, MR 🥹
I LOVE THIS STORY! It’s absolutely gorgeous… and it’s flash, so drop everything and read it before you do anything else today, please and thanks.

Hi new followers! I hope you are having a lovely autumn day

Oh I totally get that. A big part of writing for me is balancing other people’s feedback and my own intuition about what works
“The canvas is the first draft” Brain chemistry changing!
This always happens to me!! Like, what do you mean I have to show the reader how I got from point A to point C by showing point B??
I am Obsessed with that giant baby penguin
Reading Jane Eyre for the first time. Dang this is a beautiful book
I’m on week 3 of the couch to 5k program and I feel great after doing my runs! I have a couple of races scheduled too, so I have something to work up to.
I don't know who needs to hear this but if you aren't making art of any kind because you are afraid that whatever you manage to bring to earth won't match the idea of the thing you have in your head:
I have never once succeeded in doing that
and I never will
that's queer divine dissatisfaction.
Ooo would love to be added!
