This may be useful to folks who are submitting stuff to Scylla Publishing's anthology Who Am I? I'm seeing some great stories let down by passive heroines.

Here’s the thing. I want to watch Plur1bus. I really do. I just can’t bear yet another multi year cliffhanger ( or worse, a random cancellation) so maybe I’ll just wait until there’s more to watch.

Humbled by the breadth and diversity of subs to the anthology we've had so far. We are still OPEN for subs until the end of Feb 2026 as planned! We have a lot of fantasy (but that's ok!) so would love space opera and steampunk. Stories with full character arcs and conflict are standing out! #booksky

Good evening #Raylla and #MotherlandFortSalem #FanFiction lovers. Chapter 2 of "Code Blue: Tinsel and Trauma Code" by smithy199 is up. Lots of fluff + a bit spicy, exactly the right blend for an relaxed Christmas eve. 😊🎄✨

Every day I read blurbs and concepts for books and think “that concept sounds awesome…if only there was a sapphic version of that!” Frustrating.

Not me giving away a whole bunch of my TBR pile as Christmas gifts because my wife says I can’t buy more books until I reduce my TBR pile.

Look, I love a good "nursing you back to health" trope too, but I've never in my life caught a life threatening cold by getting caught in a minute of light rain without an umbrella.

I do hope the new Toby cover will make people stop spreading the rumor that the series is over. Some authors take a ten year break without those rumors starting up. I miss one year because I'm changing publishers and everyone's eager to report my demise.

So for all my #motherlandfortsalem and #wynonnaearp friends...I went underground, but this is what I've been doing! This anthology is open! If you're a sapphic fic writer with your own IP and you've wondered "what if?" I'd love to see your work. More details about the publishing house to come!
We are now OPEN for submissions for our first anthology! The vibe is wondrous sapphic specfic, and we want to see diversity. It's taken a lot of effort/fundraising to get to this point, but proud to say we offer professional rates. #booksky #submissions #writingcommunity #sapphic

Something I didn’t know about writing until I undertook serious editing…there’s a fine line between making your book tighter and stronger and maintaining that core feeling that made you love your story in the first place. #amwriting #booksky

Don't get me wrong, I'm seriously intrigued by Plur1bus and enjoying it, but how much MORE lovely sapphic TV could we get if it only cost like 5M per episode instead of FIFTEEN MILLION. Like, whaaaaaaat?
