My first flash fiction publication in YEARS! “Death Howl” was inspired by the haunting, punishing game from The Outer Zone / 11 Bit Studios. Thank you @cartridgelit.bsky.social for giving it a beautiful home! 🧡

FlashFlood: 'Wrestling with Genetics' by Robert Vaughan #nffd2026

dlvr.it'Wrestling with Genetics' by Robert VaughanThe sports gene I get from my dead father. He returns to me now as a scent. Water-logged leaves. He’s the tetherball attached to my pole, the flying trapeze of my soul. He runs a bar tab higher than a cloud then turns to me and says let’s hit the road, son. And when I argue with him about the keys, he says that’s a bunch of horseshit. But then I bluff: I can see his ailing pickled heart sitting in a laboratory glass jar on a top shelf too high to reach. I wrestle him to the ground, grab the keys, load Dad into the back seat. And for once, just this time, he won’t barrel down a back road at one hundred miles an hour, straight into the side of a quarrelsome train. --- Robert Vaughan is the author of 6 books, newest is ASKEW. He is also the EIC of Bending Genres.

So writing this novel burnt me out a bit, and for months I didn’t have it in me to read or write or post. This means I’ve got a lot of catching up to do on @anniejowrites.bsky.social’s beautiful writing. Let’s start with this tiny marvel from @bendinggenres.bsky.social.

Anna Vangala Jones@anniejowrites.bsky.social

Thank you so much @alkratz.bsky.social and Silverbacked Punk Press for believing in Songs from the Blimp Ruins (in visible ink and in Sensurround®, we think). Coming soon. 💙

Still 3 days left if you want to be a part of our unique KickStarter. Extra funds will give us freedom to experiment and afford more materials. We have ideas that we'd love to explore but I'm not a fan of promising stretch goals when more interesting things can arise organically through development.

Obviously going to be spamming ABIDE for the next week, sorry about that. I saw a tweet that someone didn't realise it was live and I still have about 1000 followers who I haven't convinced yet about how freakishly original and exciting this work is.

I’m shit at marketing, and you can tell because I published a book nearly a month ago, and you probably haven’t heard about it. Anyway, NOCTURINE is a surreal novella in breathless paragraphs. You might enjoy it if you’re into dark, voicey stuff.

I have a big request. My baby cousin, 15, is in hospital, non-responsive. I'd like to see her one last time & am trying to fly across the ocean *tomorrow* to make this happen. It would cost about £2500 or £3300 dollars. If you're able to contribute, this is my paypal: paypal.me/riversandfam

paypal.mePay Rivers Solomon using PayPal.MeGo to paypal.me/riversandfam and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

No, Copilot, I don’t want your help with this paragraph. And no, I don’t need your assistance pasting this one word. And it would be great if Word didn’t work so slow like we’re back in 1999, thank you.

I’ve been working on this novel for more than two years and didn’t have much time to write anything else. So as a reminder (mostly to myself) I’m also a short ficion writer, let me pin some of my flash fiction pieces:
