Is it any surprise that I'm completely taken-aback, made-up, bowled-over, and even things that AREN'T needlessly-hyphenated phrasal verbs about making this shortlist? Thanks to our contributors for making Mythaxis what it is ❤️ Obviously... I want it 😂 but also, best of luck to all the candidates!

Window closed! Thanks to all who shared! 222 pieces in, so that's... 219 different generous writers, of whom 217 got as far through the guidelines as the "no multiple subs" bit 😂😭😂😉 Maybe it's time for a tl;dr section at the top... Anyway, on with the slush reading!

Day 24! I read Body Parts by Anna Koltes published by @mythaxis.bsky.social. Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/01/24/s... And here is the catch up review for yesterday's story: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/01/24/s...

S/D/Y Jan 24 – Body Parts by Anna Koltes – Mythaxis

It is an interesting coincidence that I have read two stories so close together which feature the themes of people giving away parts of their bodies. Or maybe it isn’t. Maybe this is speaking…
