SCWinward was once a lot of things.

Gah!

[Riddled with Arrows @RiddledwArrows]

Gah! We're $10 shy of what we raised for the 1st Ars Poetica Prize in 2018. That's just four poems!
So... we're gonna prop the window open a little while longer. Can we entice a few more poems to fly in? Help us break our record ~ submit here:

[Riddled with Arrows @RiddledwArrows]

As promised, competition in the poetry genre is particularly fierce for this issue. While we will still consider new poetry submissions until the window closes, note the bloodied sundry littering the slush room floor. https://t.co/zcwgxYPYR9

Got a 1-day rejection for one of my new flash fiction stories. It was personalized and complimentary, which is super cool, but sadly they prefer their SF/horror apocalyptic escapism to be not "pandemic-inclusive".

LOL ok.

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

@JohnKaprielian There shoud be a link at the bottom of the contest page Also on the right-hand side menu of the webpage. Also I'll be mentioning it again once or twice or a hundred times this summer. ;

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

Here, so you don't have to go looking for it...

I amuse myself.

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

@thaoworra Haha "errs". Freudian much?

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

@thaoworra even if I die unsung, I'll still hold out hope that my errs will profit from my life's work. Heck,maybe I'll have more pull as a ghost.

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

I'm ridiculously proud of the inkwell fundraising graphic BTW. Not a stitch of training, folks! Wish my mom was here to stick it on the fridge. ;)

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

Huzzah, all responses for @RiddledwArrows 5.3 have gone out. Have learned in future that I should NOT do three issues back-to-back, but that said I'm quite pleased with the work we are doing / have done in this our comeback year.

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

Or NOT in a cape. I have been properly schooled.
(Those GIFs go by so fast...)

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

There is something seriously wrong with this culture if I can type "flash" into the GIF search and the first dozen images that pop up are all just some dude in a cape. 😉

@ajwentzwrites I don't always hate it when I'm right, but when I do, it's when I told me so.

[S Connor Winward @SCWinward]

If you liked my story "Witch's Hour" in F&SF, this story is a lot like that, only it's gender-transgressive irreverant weird western sci-fi feminist horror NEATLY TRIMMED to 5k words. Who wants to throw money at me??
