My story "Great Mother Broth" is out in Translunar Travelers Lounge today!!! 😮
It's my favourite thing I've written so far. CW for grief / bereavement (though on the whole it's an uplifting story) and troll swears! 👹

A rocking military sci-fi to kick off 2023’s short read recs.
A sentient AI mech taking a prisoner of war back through its own hostile lines. Long but with a zippy quest narrative, interesting layers of hostile terrain and a solid ending.

Merc Fenn Wolfmoor’s first collection “So You Want to Be. A Robot?” was one of my fave reads if this year. Each story was energetic, vibrant and full of characterful heart. This story of theirs about an unconventional saving of the world is a great example:

"From above, Xantiana resembled an ocean, low hills undulating like endless green waves. As the shuttle descended, thin veins of rivers became visible, black at first, then resolving into purple."
Brilliant, beautifully layered science fiction: "Patterns in Stone and Stars" by @mvmelcer at GigaNotoSaurus -- https://giganotosaurus.org/2022/12/01/patterns-in-stone-and-stars/ #sff #sffshorts @shortsff

Bird site is burning to unforeseen depths and at unprecedented speeds but I’m still here sharing short read recs.
Today’s is a sweet example of my favourite type of modern fantasy. Witches in coffee shops. Love potions and the value of respectful differences and collaboration.
