Oh gosh, me neither....and this may be very niche to me so it may not translate the same for you, but I'm very starving for conversation in spec fic that goes beyond this is "purple" prose and this is "transparent" prose...to one that sees prose style as a deliberate choice that confers meaning +
Corey Farrenkopf’s story collection Haunted Ecologies held in front of a colorful bookshelf. The book cover features a person with their back turned, facing an apocalyptic landscape of fire and bones.

A screenshot of the Locus Magazine homepage, featuring a black top navigation bar, a preview of a review of the book Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine (reviewer: Ian Mond) above a preview of a review of the movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (reviewer: Josh Pearce). The book cover is yellow with pink text and brown rabbits creeping in at the corners. The movie poster has a teal background and red text with Sam Rockwell's head attached to a mess of cables.

A noir-toned background image of a rainy city skyscape, birds flying with a backdrop of smeared neon lights, with a detective standing on a rooftop in long coat and hat with one arm raised. Right-justified text on the image reads "open call for novellas, opens: 4.01.26, closes: 4.30.26." The Ruadán Books logo is centered above the text.

"The girl he sang about was somehow both me and the girl I loved, but I knew that there was no ticket for a world where we belong, because there was no we."

I think genAI is bad at what it does and bad for the people who use it, but that’s at best secondary to why I oppose it. It’s also bad for the environment, bad for the artists whose work it steals, bad for the people who lose work to it, and bad for the underpaid humans who actually keep it running.

Growing up queer in South India in the 90s was life on hard mode, but with a bit of self-preservation, lots of mistakes, and Savage Garden, I got through it
Anyway, have my disaster bisexual essay about lying about liking a boy when I was thirteen

I can finally SCREAAAM about this! New bingo square unlocked for me as an editor at @ruadanbooks.bsky.social !
This novella is so wild and so cool. Imagine an vampire story with the vibe of a European 90s action movie. If that makes sense. (It will.)
The Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction is open to nominations. Is there a 2025 title that you loved that reflected the concepts and ideas that were central to Le Guin's work? Nominate it.

American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.
There is a quote attributed to science fiction author Jerry Pournelle (although the sentiment has been offered by many others) that money will get you through times of no awards better than awards will get you through times of no money.
