Our magazine has a long title, but we love short fiction, it’s all we publish. Stories that stir fear and joy into a coupe glass. Stories that build a skyscraper of bones and blood. Stories that dig a hole in a star to reach its tender heart. Help us keep doing this! Back us here! kck.st/4x4r1oz

no offense to those of us still struggling with a little brain poison but it really weirds me out when I see people discussing fiction in a way that frames any sexual content as a value negative by default that must 'earn' or otherwise justify its presence

I was also thinking recently about how my writing is sometimes charged with being pretentious. I don’t think it is - it’s poetic but my work is still about working people and common experiences of grief, economic precarity, toxic relationships. To me, pretentious lit is boring rich people problems.

Yes, it’s the philosophy of the world’s richest people and seen as a marker of intelligence and honesty among much of our intelligentsia. It’s the esoteric belief that marks people as a part of their club.

the florist of a witching garden #art #oc #ocsky #dnd

A digital interpretation of a painting titled "Dionisia" by Pierre Auguste Cot, featuring my OC - Eshmara. The character has a warm green complexion with striking big orange eyes, smiling softly at the camera while holding a plethora of flowers on her lap and sitting on a tree stump. She has double pointy ears that are garnished by yellow-orange grapes with leaves, and a branch-like horns, also with autumn leaves, growing out from her head which is decorated bountifully by wavy auburn hair reaching just under her shoulder blades. She has a few moles on her face - two above her lips on her right and one above her eye on her right.
She is dressed in a white shirt hugged by a scarf-like pink cloth that goes beyond the view in the left corner. Her long skirt is orange with a brown apron that holds the flowers together on her lap.
The background is dark, seemingly in a forest away from the sun, primarily greens and browns. There's a faint halo-like circle behind the character's head to give the character better focus. End ID.
