PerVisions

An archive of amazing speculative fiction.

PerVisions was named, in part, after the "Dangerous Visions" anthologies that Harlan Ellison edited. He was a complex man, and much will be written about him, but his mark on the field is beyond question.

Ave atque vale.

Good news! The Story That Killed @Pervisions(tm) – also known as the Fairy Gentrification Story – has found a forever home with @kaleidotrope! The diner with the portal between worlds closed down years ago, but our last stranded fairy chevalier will make it home in 2020. https://t.co/YMo02LXqxg

Anyone who believes that women do not have… interesting imaginations does not know many women. https://t.co/VfhCnzzyfZ

"Women are under represented in horror because women don't have the same dark twisted mind [sic] that men have."
Fact: Until ~1900, 70% of all horror was written by women. But then horror became a profitable commercial genre and male editors started shadow-banning women's horror.

@BenCKinney It is a wonderful story, and we have every confidence it will find a home!

Everyone single one of the artists who worked with us on Persistent Visions is amazing, and you should hire them. :)

As a coda, I'd like to personally thank Heather Shaw (@heatherlyshaw) for her amazing work and excellent taste in editing. Onwards!

We're very proud of the work that we were able to publish, and the site (at https://t.co/s9k3cUnGVX) will remain up as a showcase for it. 4/

[PerVisions @PerVisions]

We have always been committed to paying authors and artists a reasonable rate for work, so cutting our rate was not an option for us. 3/

The core reason is that a legal dispute over the name of the journal has sapped our capital for new work acquisition. 2/

1. So, a few thoughts about Ursula K. Le Guin, Boasian anthropology & trajectory of 20th century science fiction.

[priscilla page @BBW_BFF]

in 1987, Ursula K. Le Guin was asked to write a blurb for a science fiction anthology showcasing established & up-and-coming writers alike -- yet there were no stories by women. this was Le Guin's response (sourced from Shaun Usher's Letters of Note)
