We are plum pleased with our new bsky banner. The art selected for Issue 06 is particularly wide, and so we had to choose which vertical section to use on the cover. But now, we also have a new, glorious banner image to boot!
Thank you, @brucedraws.bsky.social for your wonderful work.

Hey, guess who's got two thumbs and is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, I guess the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.

I'll reveal the cover art here when it's farther along, but in terms of shorter stuff, I do have a story coming up in Plott Hound issue six: "Hive Mindset."
It's a story about bugs of varying kinds...

I’ve got a new dino tale in this issue - think Warrior Cats and Secret of NIMH vibes but with Allosaurus and friends.
It’s my first for @plotthoundmag.bsky.social and the longest short story I’ve yet placed anywhere, so definitely check this one out! 🦕

I am extremely pleased to announce that one of my stories, "Hive Mindset," has been accepted for publication in Plott Hound magazine! It's about technology and bugs. No, not those kinds of bugs! Well, come to think of it... yes. It's about those kinds of bugs, too.
Release the Hounds!

Begging y'all once more to read @plotthoundmag.bsky.social these are anthropomorphic stories supported at remarkable pro rates and a labor of love for everyone involved
The furry community is really bad about promoting furry media that's actually made BY FURRIES and will instead exclusively promote childrens media that happens to have anthro characters
There's furry books, comics, there used to be conlang projects
Support your fellow artist if you want furry art

Wondering what animal stories to send our way?
Need ideas?
Check out the tags in the bottom righthand column of our website (also pictured below). We'd especially love to see stories by animals not on that list (that are also scifi, fantasy, and/or horror).
