Johanna’s life depends on how she manages her arranged marriage, but her complete failure drives her into the arms of a fugitive witch who claims women have magical abilities—if they embrace the deadly taboo they’ve been taught to fear: their own menstrual blood. #DVpit #A #F #LF #LGBT #OWN

Mood board with mostly blacks, whites, and reds. Images of: a girl looking into the distance, a blood moon lunar eclipse, a beautiful red-headed woman, a woman dancing under the moon, hands holding a vial of blood, etc.

FF#28: "Chutes, Slides, and Ladders" by @awritingwall.bsky.social This one knocked our socks off by going all-in on its Lord-of-the-Flies style premise featuring a group of children battling for control over a world of Chutes & Ladders. www.fusionfragment.com/issue-28/

"Chutes, Slides, and Ladders" by Allison Wall: surviving the board game world / opposing ideologies / the other place

Strut and his kids’re coming. I can tell it’s them from far by the light glinting off ’em. It’s evil, what they did. Pulled up metal from chutes and slides and wrapped it around their heads, chests, arms, legs, for armor. Ripped ladders apart and sharpened the pieces, for spears and swords. They tore up part of the world to do that.

ICYMI, FF#28 is live and it's got everything! Birds that live inside you! Board game worlds! People messed up by their parents! Zombies! Not one, but TWO actors re-animated into robot bodies (just to show off how different the same premise can look). Love across the multiverse! SLIME!

PROOF!!! This just arrived and it's looking good so far, so expect that print copies of FF#28 will be available soon!

A copy of FF#28 sits atop a snake-shaped candle holder and rests against some candles. There are books (because of course there are) on a shelf in the background.

A bunch of older issues of FF have suddenly seen some downloads this week, so time to dust off my intentions to steal a game from @smallwondersmag.com and yell about some great stories in the FF archive. You give me a word. I give you a story.

I didn't realize I was writing horror until I was told by readers... Apparently, growing up in high control religion as a closeted queer and neurodivergent woman makes for certain experiences that are not, in fact, universal, and are, in fact, scary. Oops... 😅

Bree assumes “joining the Dark Goddess" is a lesbian sex club hazing prank—until she kills an evil politician with a gush of menstrual blood. The Goddess has given Bree real power. Her intentions? Murky. Her appetite? Insatiable. Her contract? Binding. #questpit #Q #A #H #S #LF

After 40 years without a vision of his angel, artist Peter wonders whether it’s worth carrying on living. But his “angel” is Ro, a human trying to use the visions to plead for resources in their ravaged future. Can this depressed, Twinkie-loving eccentric get the message? #questpit #Q #LF #S #D

Yellow text on the right reads: Everywhen (all-caps). Beneath is a bulleted list: Literary + speculative, voice-driven prose, multi-POV, dual timeline, queer, southern context, 95K words. On the left is a photo of art by Eddie Owens Martin who provided inspiration for the novel described. The artwork shows an abstract vertical landscape with two green hills and a yellow sun in a deep blue sky. Bisecting the green hills are a series of triangles or upside-down Vs in red and blue.

Cover art! Check out Fusion Fragment for loads of great stories. Based on a story set in a snakes and chutes gameworld, so i used those as overlapping textures, to show the enveloping nature of the game, leaning into the surreal elements. Acrylic paint, oil pastels, digital colour #art
