Final two days of the month for submissions to @heartlines-spec.com -- send us your stories and poems!
Take us to new fantasy or sci-fi worlds, show us unique creatures or magic, captivate us with fascinating plots -- WITH characters who have known each other a long time in the midst of it all.
And finally, a survey of orgs, mags, and other entities focused on speculative fiction, to determine where need might be greatest to help the field stay alive, whether it be through funding, outreach, or anything else. The survey is open thru 6/29. #2026IgnyteAwards

SFFH has directly shaped the reality in which we currently find ourselves. It has THAT kind of power. We should be funding the places and people who interrogate, examine, grow, and direct its use for our collective benefit and wrestle it back from the chucklefucks abusing it.

"Fifty years of this. Not quite lovers, never merely friends. Something more ferocious, more faithful. A queerplatonic tether forged in the red dust and sealed in chlorophyll."
