I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art. Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized. No AI bullshit. The weirder the better. agitamag.com/submissions/

Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.
Publication date: February 1, 2027

Such a good thread about AI, aesthetics, and how much knowledge you need to actually make something cool. And-- importantly-- that there's no AI shortcut.

There's a wildfire in Sooke, and the smoke rolled in through Saanich inlet yesterday. This morning it's cool and rainy and smells like fire, but the water looks uncannily like Moonlight Sacrifice by Holo Taco. Huh. I think it's the orange microshimmer that does it. www.holotaco.com/products/moo...

Bathe under the crescent moonlight. This sheer sky blue jelly was summoned to apply like a dream with its orange iridescent micro-shimmer. A polish worth sacrificing for.

I started reading Watership Down to my kid this week. Tonight we read the story about Frith blessing El-Ahrairah, and the line "but first they must catch you" and I shivered in the best possible way, all over goosebumps. I wonder I shivered when Mom read it to me the first time?

This is one of my favorites. It was also fun to learn that @rebeccacampbell.bsky.social read her first Ursula story at the age of eleven. Ditto. Ursula called it a "hinge-age," a transformative threshold. It's also a prime number, which is neat.

It was the last day of school yesterday and David wanted to celebrate by camping out by the vegetable garden. It didn't get dark until past ten and the birds were up around 4am. A short night with so many stars-- I could see them through the mosquito netting on the roof of the tent.

It's a joy when people connect with your work. I worried this wouldn't land, since it's about very tired people on the edge of the known universe who are trying to do the right thing in a small way, while the huge, dangerous world grinds on around them.

An album I've listened to 100+ times? Which one...? This one has to be near the top. And it still throws me right back to St Pete's monastery guest house ca 2000, though I listened to it so many other places.. How strange.

I See A Darkness, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's 1999 album. The cover is black with a kind of skull-egg on it. It's awesome. You should listen to it, and then listen to Johnny Cash's cover of the title song.

"A Hole Cut in the Wall of the World" is in this-- it's another of my Salish Sea stories, from my 2025 collection THE OTHER SHORE. The story is creepy and allowed me to write scraps of modernist poetry, which I loved. And how cool is it that we have a Year's Best Ecofiction?
