Make sure you don't skip this lore drop! 🎮 "NPC (or Eight Haxploits to Maximize Your Endgame Farming: A Player's Guide)" by DaVaun Sanders launched yesterday! Read it here: www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...
Graphic featuring text from DaVaun Sanders' "NPC (or Eight Haxploits to Maximize Your Endgame Farming: A Player's Guide)" which reads, "This isn’t a game anymore, not for us. Started from the bottom, as they say. You understand why they scared. You are the future."

Sometimes the editor *loved* your story. But space constraints. Or it was too similar to another piece for *waves hand* reasons. Or something that had *nothing* to do with your work. I can't stress how many stories I've reluctantly passed on knowing full well they'll land in other SFF markets. +/

Very excited to be included in this issue! I’ve held out hope to be published in Fiyah one day, and now that day is coming. “Schadenfreude” is a story involving revenge, love and ghosts. There is some healing in it being published, because it is the child of 2 stories I almost gave up on.
