2025 Short Stories Thread:

1. "The Secret Ingredient" - @lunastation.bsky.social Issue 061 (March)

A soft and sweet Queer Contemporary Fantasy Romance about finding the courage to fall in love.

www.lunastationquarterly.com/issues/061/

Cover of Luna Station Quarterly Issue 061, it features art of a woman with long, flowing, pale blue hair. She is standing with her arms up, hands behind her head and her face turned toward her left arm, expression rhapsodic. Her mostly nude body is shaded in hues of pink, the cover a blatant tie-in with Trans Pride colors.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Tonight we drank bourbon and listened to Run the Jewels on vinyl while I made peanut butter bread from "Baking Yesteryear" by B. Dylan Hollis.

The world is scary right now, but there's still this. There's still love.

A warm toned wood table with 8 bottles of whiskey, each with a glass in front of it, arrayed in a semi-circle.

Every so often you get the joy of explaining Ryan Gosling’s ghost themed record which he performed in under the name Baby Goose

it is genuinely hilarious that one of hollywood’s most bankable stars put everything on hold to produce an almost completely unmarketable halloween record that had next to no impact on the culture

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

This! I don't want to be here. I don't want this to be reality. But I feel like I'm staring down the obvious while my reps talk about lawsuits and committees and uhhhhh I think we've established that won't work.

Either B or C. If we could get the fifth game with the answers to the Executors and the Devouring Storm, I'd be over the moon.

But... If it can't be the team who gave so much for this franchise, then I'm good. I love what we have and I will roam Thedas in my imagination for the rest of my life.

So, what's next? I keep asking myself, how does this end? We were supposed to have checks and balances but they bought the courts, so how do you sue or impeach when the scales are weighted?

What recourse is left? And how long do we let this continue while we quibble over the answer?

Oh, Tiny Bookshop. I am not immune to your allure. And yet, I must resist.

There is this novel I need to write, and fanfic too. Surely, you understand.
