I know I’m bombarding you with stories but proud of the diversity. One aching epic space tragedy, one sliver of painful nostalgia & now this darkly comic anti-colonial murder romp romance set -again- in Myanmar, a country that obsesses me. Thank you NFFF! So many great writers sharing these pages!
Another clever genre subversion here with @jaimegill.bsky.social

(The India Times swear this is a lemon cake recipe but put more or less every other citrus fruit on it!)

This was the last piece I accepted - a delightful surprise at the bottom of the in-tray. And now I know what a bergamot cake is too

Love this piece of defiant cakey love “Then you licked the smear of jam off my nose as I kissed your softness to my tongue.” @joycebingham.bsky.social in @neitherfishnorfoul.com 🧡🧡🧡🎂
A cake story born in @writershq.bsky.social a while ago, but it only found its true voice last year. Delighted to share this issue with so many wonderful cakes, I mean stories.
The first story I accepted for this issue. Classic cake, unexpected setting and a delicacy of touch at one with the lightness of a Victoria Sponge. Dare you not to be moved.
