"Final Log Fragment Retrieved from the Derelict Hauler MV Ironside" by D. Thomas Minton @flashpointsf.bsky.social
I love a horror story told via a found document, love textual breakdown in the face of the unknown, and love horror that leaves a mystery. Great piece!

Not content with one book, our editor @madosser.bsky.social has started work on a second! This one is about SF fandom in the mid-2010s. If you were active in the fandom then, he would love to interview you! Drop a comment or a DM if you’re interested in chatting or just hearing more

Thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word. We couldn't have made this happen without you. We'll do our best to make this next year of FPSF one that is worthy of your incredible generosity.
Reading for FPSF is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in the SFF community. It’s an amazing publication run by amazing people. Let’s keep this community going!
