Hi babes!

I have a couple of short stories I'm about to send on submission — one has done a short round ages ago and got some sweet personalized rejections but didn't land anywhere, and the other hasn't been submitted anywhere yet. Together they total to under 3,000 words. They are weird, think speculative litfic/high concept absurdism. If any of you tend to read or write shortform fiction yourself, either in the general/litfic genre or the more speculative genre, I'd love some feedback before I embark upon some more submission rounds.

Thank you in advance! <3

It's maybe a little odd to phrase it this way, but only after like 4+ years of on and off watching BL dramas (and getting into GL dramas) am I getting to stage of actually being okay with/open to "bad" endings again because it's not about the gay, it's about the plot. You now have my trust that you're not “killing off the gays” because they're gay, so I'm okay with killing off main characters if the plot makes sense that way.

[spoiler about a 2025 GL series]

I really loved Runaway.

And I probably would not have been ready to like it 4 years ago.

Right now I'm making personal bets about characters dying in

[vague not-really spoiler about a currently airing BL series]

Goddess bless you from death

and having a lovely time.

(Okay I’m still not going to watch heavy political/etc. type dramas but that’s just a general preference.)
