We're pleased to release the latest story from Issue 003: "Affinity," by N.V. Andric. "Magic is a capricious beastie; who knows how their living, breathing magic could turn into machine-empathy? Maybe it was the only way it could work with me." starwardshadows.com/affinity/

Publishing stories from debut authors is always a true honor. This one hummed through our minds like divine circuitry and haunted us both for months. Maybe it will leave eternal electric imprints on the lonely grooves of your minds too. starwardshadows.com/affinity/ Thank you, N.V.

Life poem: what if we are all connected / then our equality is incomplete / as long as others are not treated equally…

Tech magic used to whistleblow the baddies. Great example of pithiness as well, I think many writers would have bloated this to a novel

Elric (as told by ChatGPT):

Thank you to all our submitters, new and old. It means this world (and many others) to us that you trust us with your work again and again. You help to keep the dream alive. Because of you believing in us, the fire will always burn strong.

For everyone waiting on a contract: Those should be going out in the next day or two. We also plan to catch up with all the patient authors in our inbox. We have so many incredible works to share with you for Issue 003, from both debut authors and seasoned veterans. Thank you.

Happy International Women's Day, everyone. We do our best to celebrate all year 'round by publishing women in genres like Sword and Planet and Lovecraftian fiction, where representation is slim. Check our our current and past issues: starwardshadows.com/issue-003-2023/
