Well, I now either have something on submission or something reserved for submission on October 1 when the market opens at all of the markets that I consider my top priorities to get into eventually. Except Lightspeed. They haven't been open since 2022. #AmWriting #AmWritingFiction #WritersOfMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon #Bookstodon #ShortStory #Writer #Writing #WritersLlife #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity

A highly amusing alternate history/fantasy story. You think our current government is bad? See what dark arts Thomas Jefferson attempted.

Okay, finally back to finishing up my 2025 short fiction reading before submitting a Nebula ballot. I really liked this one. A bittersweet cli-fi relationship story by Christopher Blake.

And I'm back to my catch-up on 2025 short fiction reading. This one, by Lawrence M. Schoen is fun. A human librarian who shares Earth's literature with the universe's other sentient races and a pirate. A not-very-concealed comment on digital piracy.
Recommended.

Another great 2025 short story well worth reading. Effie Seiberg is terrific at funny stories that nonetheless have a message to them. This one is a superhero story that focuses on disability accommodations. Enjoy!

More 2025 short fiction: this one reimagines the life of Alan Turing if he crossed into the fairy world and had a life long affair there. Gorgeous prose. Structured only by the events of Turing's life. Strongly recommended.

Okay, I'm back to catching up on 2025 short fiction reading. Zach Shephard's "From Darkness, Awake" ran in this anthology about Circe and has her taking on a drug lord in present-day Miami. I thought the blending of myth with crime fiction was creative.

One last #ShortStory to write about before I call it a weekend: this one is not my usual cup of tea, but it's oddness and strangeness appealed to me. It's beautiful.

I loved the format on this short story: I could see where it was going the whole time, but the step-by-step gave it an emotional punch it wouldn't have otherwise had. Recommended reading.

This deceptively simple-seeming short story packs a strong emotional punch. It does so by implying the emotion and never showing it, making a truly strong story.

Terrific story just out from friend and ex-Aurora Street critique group member @carolscheina.bsky.social. A bookstore visited by multiple versions of the protagonist who write notes to each other. A beautiful story flowed. Strongly recommended.

In Ída Hennessy's "A Slightly Different Sunrise from Mercury, Nevada," Annie works as a "Canary" at the Nevada nuclear test site, at a time portal bringing tourists back to 1952. Multiple unexpected gut punches. Strongly recommended.

"Belladonna" by Cressida Blake Roe operates on two levels. On the surface, a time-traveling botanist finds a young protégé with unique abilities. Deeper, it's a story about grooming and psychological abuse of girls. Gritty horror. Strongly recommended.

Fiona Moore's "What Happened at The Pony Club" has a cool premise--Y2K knocked out all computers worldwide and the world reverts to depending on smart people. Cool characters--girls at a private high school for these "computers." Cool format--an FBI case file.

More Codex 2024 reading, this one from my friend and critique partner Sam Pisciotta. In "House of the Hidden Moon," two worlds bump up against each other. In one, an alcoholic mother has died and left the house to her son. In a second, a ghost and fairies stand in for a family that might have been. It's sad and disturbing, yet beautiful. Strongly recommended.

In "When the Cattle Gun Touches Her Forehead" by Ben Serna-Grey, trillionaires get the Nobel while a father slaves on a tower to reduce atmospheric CO2 and his wife submits to in utero genetic engineering to make the baby eat plastic. Satiric treatment of eco-fascism. Strongly recommended

Continuing with Codex 2024 short fiction catch-up, Angela Liu's "Before We Were Born" uses a near-future, cyberpunky conceit to examine tensions within a modern family. The twist at the end was terrific. Strongly recommended.

Jennifer Hudak's "The Witch Trap" uses braided narrative to give the reader an academic history of witchcraft as well as narratives skipping through time and characters. It works well. I was completely swept up and captivated by it. Strongly recommended.

Andrew Sayre's "You Look a Lot Like Aton Fuller" is a perspective I haven't seen: an adult clone, grown for spare parts for a rich man, freed when that practice became untenable, musing about this man upon his death. Definitely thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

Renan Bernardo's "A Theory of Missing Affections" has an Ursula Le Guin vibe. A home planet, a distant planet with the ruins of an ancient civilization, a gate that connects them, and sisters on either side: one a historian, one viewing the ancients as gods.
