forestofgloryAfter taking a bit of break form short fiction reading at the beginning of the year, I've been reading a lot of short fiction in the last week or so. I thought I'd pass on a few recs.
Love Letters to Things Lost and Gained by Sunny Moraine A very meditative story about change and what is really you.
Pockets by Amal El-Mohtar I loved that the characters reaction to inexplicable things happening was "lets try science. Also a great friendship story.
Vacui Magia By L. S. Johnson This a bit darker than most stories I rec here, but really loved this story about grief and love.
Cat Pictures Please by Naomi Kritzer What if the internet was sentient and wanted to help people? I can think of lots of ways that could go wrong, but in this story it is cute and sweet.
Also since writing my post on Continuity and SFF Short Fiction I've been thinking about ways to improve the continuity. So I've been looking for older (preferably pre-2000) short fiction online. I'm going to try to include links to older stuff in these rec posts. So have a link to Stellar Harvest by Eleanor Arnason I always love her alien cultures, and this one is good example. Thematically it deals with freedom and altruism.
