Fusion Fragment

@RumpledWriter We've got it! I see the file.

@michael_bezalel Yep, prose only for this one!

@FusionFragment Just confirming: hard no on speculative poetry? Thank you!

@jdlskie Glad it found a home!

@avramargariti Welp now you're gonna get a stats thread on this.

I've been reading some old stories published in still-alive sffh magazines and it's mindblowing how in 2015 stories were allowed to end with ambiguity or no resolution as long as they ended on an emotionally resonant note. But now it's like we must give short stories 3 epilogues.

@RAJKevis That's on the June list!

@FusionFragment I made it into the globe and mail, but that feels off topic :)

@hexagonmagazine "N. Sylvestris 1.0" by @l_lpmelling in FF#16 is right up that particular alley. And, depending on how you feel about Mothman, @cz_writes had some of that in FF#17, too!

EVERYONE!!! My first chapbook, signed with the amazing Madness Heart Press and John Baltisberger! A smol collection of Jewish Ghost Stories, with amazing cover art by the amazing Luke Spooner!

@buy_jupiter Until I run out of money! (That is, no plan to close soon--we're trying out an always-open model!)

@FusionFragment Just got online after a long writing break, how long will you be open for?

@AishatuAdo No deadline! We're making an attempt to stay open permanently. Will see how that goes, but if I do need to close it'll be announced here and on our submissions page.

@FusionFragment for how long will it be open? What is the deadline?

@ESichr WEIRD

cant decide which story to prep for @FusionFragment opening...the more coherent, linear story or the weirder, more confusing one.

@MariscaPichette Nooooooooo I missed it! (But congrats!)

@FusionFragment @OJCade @ChristiNogle @AndrewNajberg @AiJiang_ My poetry collection is also on there! 😃

@FoxesandRoses @FoggWriter @arielmarkenjack @Danaiwrites @avramargariti @liu_angela @ThomasHaWrites @HudakWrites @AiJiang_ And thanks for taking the time to call out all these great stories!

@FusionFragment @FoggWriter @arielmarkenjack @Danaiwrites @avramargariti @liu_angela @ThomasHaWrites @HudakWrites @AiJiang_ Thank you for posting!

The contract is hereby SIGNED. My dark SciFi story, "The Holocaust Protocol" shall be appearing in my ultimate dream publication, Apex Magazine!! My boundless thanks to @LesleyConner for believing in this story!

@LHutchinsonLee I've already got a copy of it on my bookshelf! Excited to read--Stelliform always puts out such great stuff.

@FusionFragment Another lovely read is Rebecca Campell's Arboreality, winner of the 2023 Ursula LeGuin Prize (Stelliform Press)

@melisfluous Yes, that one's so good! Haven't read Our Missing Hearts yet, but excited to see her dipping her toe into SF.

@melisfluous Loved both of hers that I've read so far!

@TheSuiWay @augurmag @HavenSpec youtube.com/watch?v=I_64fZ…

@vrcraftauthor That I won't guess at because I think there's an important distinction between "never sold" and "not sold yet". I will say that a fair amount of the stuff that did sell after coming my way in 2020 didn't actually end up getting published until 2023.

@FusionFragment How many didn't sell anywhere?

@vrcraftauthor But the waiver you'd have to read and sign would be soooooo long.

@FusionFragment I've never time traveled due to, like, the laws of physics or some bullshit like that, but I actually think I would enjoy it immensely.

@AndrewNajberg Gah, I even knew about that one in advance, too! Added to the newsletter list!

@FusionFragment I had a post-apocalyptic horror novel come out at the end of last month :)
