Good afternoon, friends. I've created a new list at @weirdmicro.bsky.social of writers of weird tales and dark balladry to make it easier for us to support each other's writing. Think of it as a #WeirdMicro Writers' Group. Please follow and spread the word.

As promised, two new prompt lists drop this evening:

#GrimScribe — inspired by Thomas Ligotti.
#WinterWhimsy — a seasonal detour, if not complete, from our usual gloom.

These prompts will run through the end of December. 

As always, your feedback is appreciated.
