I thought it would be cool to have a thread for those of us who try to get our writing published.
I’ll start!
My flash “Tommy” is out today on Sci-Fi Shorts. It’s for their July theme “Aliens Among Us” (this is open until 8/15 if you have a good aliens-on-Earth story laying around).
Congratulations! That’s super exciting!
I had a post-apocalyptic tale published today. Content warning: some gross stuff.
Congratulations! I’m gonna check it out tonight!
Extra crispy indeed 
Have changed the card format for heroes from poker sized to jumbo — so i have a little more space on the back for the hero biography.
How do you capture the lifetime of a legend in a paragraph or two? It takes me forever — every time I read them I re-write them. There’s a sort of irresistible urge to crowbar in another little Vancian flourish or purplier prose.
My mum picked up Gandali last night. The eye-roll told me it was solid-gold gibberish but she had to add, “Is this some sort of mid-life crisis? Maybe you should by a sports car.”
My dungeon and dragoneering teen retorted, “It’s fire, dad.”
Just buy the car.
Absolute flames.This is significantly better writing than I find on 99% of similar style hero cards with little bio blurbs. I don’t understand all the specifics, but it doesn’t matter because it’s all very serious and intriguing. I’d read this on my table and actually be interested rather than just blowing through the standard descriptions I normally read to my wife to tell her she is yet again a regular ass elf with a bow.
I’d say the eye-roll from your mom might be the goal. 
Plus your kid is more likely to be the one to pull it off the shelf at a games shop anyway.
