Memories. Remembering. That was its job. Recalling the life stories of so many people. All those it had met. All those it had worked with. All those who had now gone. They lived on in its recall.
So listen carefully — it has a tale to tell…

Oh this is fabulous, myths and space and lyric beauty as a character finds their courage to do what they love.
This came out in February in Issue 12. Perhaps you've pondered on it and the myth Clytie and Leucothoe so long that there's only just time to consider the story for best of 2025 lists and awards? translunartravelerslounge.com/2025/02/15/s...

This was a fun one to write! A lot of puzzle solving (things to make it easier for me to figure out the story) and then puzzle unsolving (things to make it harder for _characters_). Hope you like it!
It's Day Three of the TTL 2025 celebration and here's @montelin.bsky.social with The In-Between Sister, a story of haunting, possession - and the relationships between elder and younger sisters.

Yes! Yes! I love that story ❤️❤️❤️
I read it and read it again when I feel I need some fresh space sunflower vibes lol
It's everything I like about a story: intriguing, fun, relying on Greek mythology in an unexpected way, and that character progression is magic. It moves me so much.
100% recommended.

I do fear we’re starting to see the end of physical, subscription-based SFF magazines.
Which means there’ll be nothing left behind but a digital footprint.
I don’t think we can let that happen. Not after what we’ve seen this year.
