A literary hill I will die on is that it’s TRADE publishing, not TRAD publishing. That’s how we distinguish it from the tradwife lifestyle folks.

I’m watching this mystery series from the 70’s and it’s interesting how the technology changes affect the puzzle. One clue was that a typewriter cover was in the wrong place. I didn’t know typewriters had covers

When a literary magazine pays money for a story, they are licensing certain rights to that story. A human-written story has those rights to license. An AI-generated story? Might not even have those rights in the first place. Beyond artistic standards, genAI stories can become a legal headache.

A Ghost Ship, a Revenge Tale, and a Perfect Ending
Every once in a while, a piece lands in Instant Noodles Literary Magazine that reminds me exactly why I enjoy reading short fiction. John Tures's "Lex Talionis" has everything I could want in a flash piece: a ghost ship, naval warfare, a dash of history, supernatural revenge, and an ending that lands exactly where it should. Set during the War of 1812, the story follows a British frigate pursuing what appears to be an American privateer.

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

This poem really got to me. I’m thinking about the reference to the Frost poem, how the theme of choice gets reinterpreted in the context of identity… Who you are and what you *can* do. What happens around you.
