Narrating @annaclark.bsky.social’s clever and sharp short story “For All the Girls Seduced By Forever” was a treat! Have a listen and enjoy her fabulous storytelling.

The conversation actually did cover that "moist" didn't work in context. The other main purveyor of scrambled egg opinions said he liked his eggs "wet." The cause was the "loose" guy saying that microwaved scrambled eggs were superior. "Wet" guy disagreed.

Guy at lunch just said his preferred texture for scrambled eggs is "loose." I think it might surpass "moist" as an unpleasant descriptor for me.

In 2022, before Chatgpt and everything that came next, I participated in this study. It was framed as a research on a new tool that I could try and offer my opinion on. I didn't know that it was trained on copyrighted material.

Sometimes I'm in more of a headspace to read than write. It feels a bit frustrating as my stories sit incomplete in the folder, but I figure it has to be part of a healthy word cycle.

"Free for subscribers" is one of those phrases that unreasonably niggles me and is everywhere. The service/product is available for a subscription fee. Fee and free sound very similar, but actually mean something quite different.

Anna Clark @annaclark.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

That's awesome! May many new words and experiences come out of it. (I'm really curious about workshops, since writing remains for me a rather solitary process, despite a few efforts to change that.)

"As the Tide Loves the Diver, as the Diver Loves the Tide" by @ravn-j-silver.bsky.social is a wonderful end to my Saturday of reading. We are perhaps in an over information age, and this imagines an entity that would save us from it, for better or worse, but it is also a story of deep affection.

I just read this! It's a fantastic story that is, in part, about knowing there's a creator of the world and choosing to want nothing to do with them, and what it means to love someone who wants different. Very much recommend!

A story partly inspired by my grandparents (a vicar and a grief counsellor). It's part of a wonderful issue, and I definitely recommend the other stories accompanying it; E.M. Linden's epistolary horror is genius!

Had a rubbish morning that improved once I started working on a story. I feel so down about the impact of AI and don’t have a lot of solutions, but even with this hopefully misplaced feeling of doom, I still want to write. I still get joy out of it. I still want to share and read. Hanging onto that.

I'm knackered at the moment but okay. Struggling with work in the heat at the moment. I was working in a 40° space yesterday and the day before, and I just couldn't drink enough to replace the sweat. Hope you're doing well too!

And “Ghost in the Tank” by @mruthrobinson.bsky.social is such a visceral study of a character getting herself killed in VR for a living, all the while pining after a former lover and opponent in a way that’s more than a bit toxic but totally gripping www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/ghos...

The Murder at World's End was a fun, easy listen for me recently. And then my comfort audiobooks for years now have been Ellis Peter's Cadfael series. There's something about a historical mystery when you're doing something alongside. (Intrigued to know what you hated aha)

Okay research question: What is the least liminal place you can think of? Like a public building or store or something similar but firmly planted on one reality and not two? Asking for reasons...

Anna Clark @annaclark.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

But also, places that feel liminal when they're empty often lose that quality once you populate them. I'm not sure any place can stay the opposite of liminal at all times. That's a really hard question! Have fun researching

Anna Clark @annaclark.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Places that are busy but no one is paying attention to each other still feel like they can be thresholdy for me. I could imagine being in a busy supermarket where everyone is super focused on what they're doing and turning down an aisle that didn't exist before.

220

Anna Clark @annaclark.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Actually kind of hard to think of specifics, but for me it's places where you feel seen and recognised (by someone/something you can also see). Can be positive or negative, but you both exist in place. So places of shared activity, like a fencing club/other activity community.

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.
