Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so glad I finally read this. The fiction selections are strong, be they original or reprint. Each one left me eager to push a little further into the magazine and see what else the editors had for me. The nonfiction, unfortunately, skews towards the sort of stylized yet academic prose I find damned near unreadable, but I still gleaned some nuggets of insight from that section. Highly recommended to fans of short SFF.

My sore, sore throat demanded a softer breakfast: yogurt, superfruit berries, and coconut chai.

I‘m back into magazines for my daily short story, since there‘s no better month to (finally) tackle all the Queers Destroy issues I‘ve had sitting around for three and a half years. I used to be good at buying fiction magazines; I‘ve always been terrible at actually reading them.

Our latest #litereads selection and our final pick for #asianheritagemonth is The Padishah Begum's Reflections by Shweta Narayan. This historical fantasy story looks at a real figure from the Mughal Empire through a queer lens and a fantasy twist. I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of this story. Link to the full story in the article below.

Any magazine or anthology will of course have stories you like and stories you don't. My favorites here were Catherynne Valente l'e and the article about Ellen Kushner's Riverside stories, which I read as a teen & must revisit. But I enjoyed all the stories and the art was gorgeous, too!

Finally got an ereader, so I have been reading a story from here every night.
