@SmallwondersSFF Such a lovely and, um, thoughtful story. A beautiful way to start the day. Thank you @SmallwondersSFF and Ian Li.

Today's story is a reminder that even in dark times, good people exist. Ian Li introduces us to Jing, "The Memory Technician" - we think you'll like her.

Though I prefer my fare hundredful, this is so good it broke my darkness. Such a clever and heartwarming tale. Thanks @100FootCrow and @susannafraser - and @KaiDelmas for putting me on to both.

[100-Foot Crow @100FootCrow]

You asked for a cheerful 100-word story for Christmas?

Well, we've got you covered with "Just in Time" by @susannafraser.

@ThomasHaWrites Congratulations!

@jeffreyford8 So sorry Jeff. I have so enjoyed following the sweet adventures and loving nature that is Peps. Losing the pups is so hard. Many hugs and many many lovely memories of Peps for you to help you through the tough loss.

@lkardos The answer is yes, but that decision comes with a side of regret.

Hey, SF writers. A request to make.

Normally it's unethical to discuss a story we didn't buy. But years later, there's "one that got away" I still think about, and I REALLY wonder who wrote it.

Did YOU write about space snails taking over the anglican church?

"Our words call us, the same words the priests burned us for speaking. Our words call us, and we come."

Hard to resist the pull of @chazzlepants' "Black with Ash, Red with Grinding" from the #KillerFlash Top 10.

@Wiswell A dark/hopeful/revenge-y flash that landed @MolotovLitZine after sooooo many rewrites. Maybe 'proud' isn't the word, though? Maybe it's 'relieved' that it's in the world and will now let me get some rest.

Supereager to read the nine stories in this issue that I'm not familiar with.

@mcmichaelcarter Hey thanks, I appreciate it! I'm not quite sure what I've done, but I feel happy about it any time my dark little stories get picked up.

[Chip Houser (@chiphouser.bsky.social) (he/him) @chazzlepants]

Thrilled to have landed two flashes in there and excited to read all the rest.

[The Molotov Cocktail @MolotovLitZine]
