Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Linden Honey, Blackcurrant Wine by M.R. Robinson

What a fool to hope for more than silence—to think she might be welcomed, much less forgiven, after all this time! Irena stands alone in the heart of the grove, where she has never stood alone...

"Ghost Apples" ( @lamotdite ) opens the issue with a first line that is at once startlingly violent and achingly tender, and it never loses any of that momentum. I don't want to give anything away, but so many images in this story took my breath away. A lush, beautiful love story.

The story was inspired by a folktale about a human girl who spends her youth dancing with a fairy woman - but ultimately chooses a mortal life, and then spends her whole life grieving that loss. I wanted to reimagine that story's ending, which I find so haunting (linked below).

SUCH a stunning story. Absolutely incredible! Read this one with my cats curled up beside me, of course.

Whoops, missed the anniversary by a week. One year ago (ish) in @FantasyMagazine ! The story of my heart! My real-life Bozpo is snoozing in his catbed beside me.

@TheLincoln @Wiswell Totally! Just echoing John’s point about discussion quality. I generally think it’s a good thing that it’s less common now to assign that much in college classes. But also of course agree that we should not be teaching excerpts only, and I wish everyone was reading more overall!

Such a stunning story. A story about language where every line is poetry. Masterful worldbuilding and character development in a tiny space, too.

Ever wondered about how losing a language feels like you've lost someone? well, I wrote a story where you lose BOTH

Going through old photos with my mom this morning + admiring my childhood journey from Spider-Man to young Spock. One of the haircuts of all time.

Worked on revisions today while my wife studied for the bar. Highly recommend; turns out editing seems really really easy if you pretend the alternative is taking the bar exam.

@FromFrostland Two resources that helped me get started submitting short fiction: The Submission Grinder, for finding markets, and @isabeljkim 's "Short Story Submissions Guide for Idiots" (it's me, I'm the idiot):

Short Story Submissions Guide for Idiots

The short fiction submissions game is confusing as hell when you first get into it…or at least, it was super confusing to me circa 2.5 years ago. I realized pretty quickly that the question wasn’t...

@McFlyCahill90 @ErewhonBooks My favorite Erewhon book is probably On Fragile Waves, which I think is just a perfect book. But I love everything you’re doing! Cheers to five years!

@QuiteVague @diabolicalplots Really loved your thread about the joys of reading slush; thank you! I used to slush-read novels for a lit agent and wrote looong comments in a template w/ lots of formal categories. Out of curiosity, is the process similarly standardized for short story comments? Or more loose?

@lamotdite This was the first story I wrote and I’m still thinking about it every day 🙈 Constantly torn between “I’m just this attached because it’s the first” and “I need to drop everything right now and figure out what to do with this story.” Someday! I hope!!
