For the past five years, we thought Max was locked in his office editing Flash Point SF. Turns out he was writing a book too. Congrats to FPSF editor @madosser.bsky.social on the publication of Nostalgic Futures!

While I was away in the woods, we dropped a STELLAR issue of @flashpointsf.bsky.social. These stories are so good (and no bookmarks required). Read it here: flashpointsf.com/2026/06/30/i...

Our summer submissions window is officially open! Open until July 31st. flashpointsf.com/submissions/

It's finally here! The first ever FPSF "issue" is live. 6 great flash stories, including our Drabble Contest winners and runners-up. Check it out! #SFF #flashfiction flashpointsf.com?p=7320

"Final Log Fragment Retrieved from the Derelict Hauler MV Ironside" by D. Thomas Minton @flashpointsf.bsky.social I love a horror story told via a found document, love textual breakdown in the face of the unknown, and love horror that leaves a mystery. Great piece! flashpointsf.com/2025/10/31/f...

Some changes to announce for 2026: flashpointsf.com/2026/01/09/i...

Not content with one book, our editor @madosser.bsky.social has started work on a second! This one is about SF fandom in the mid-2010s. If you were active in the fandom then, he would love to interview you! Drop a comment or a DM if you’re interested in chatting or just hearing more
