Meet @zebulonhourse.bsky.social, BRAVE NEW WEIRD Award Winner🖤☠️ "The Mascot's Head". Rendered in fiberglass & cement. Mysteriously connected to the inscrutable cartoonist Malory, who lived across the street. Across from me. The window is filled by its gaze. The mascot's head is coming off today. ⬇️

Red and black graphic box featuring cover art by Matt Blairstone; a human form seated, one hand on a book emblazoned with the Tenebrous skull & laurel. Where the screen cuts from red to black, the flesh is stripped from the human, exposing its skeleton. It thrusts its harm into the air, transforming into a death's head moth. It looks pretty cool.
And then there's a picture of the author next to it, who looks even cooler.

I don’t know if it’s in this collection? but @spicycloaca.bsky.social’s “Pearlescent Tickwad” (in Strange Horizons) was one of my favorite stories of last year, so recommended!

Every story *must* have the character go through an arc. Arc de Triomphe and the St. Louis Arch are common choices. This is why most stories take place in France or Missouri. The character can walk, run, bike or drive through the arc. They may fly, though this is not recommended for new writers.
