Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.
One of the most satisfying and delightful books I’ve ever read.

Yes. But think of the scholars 🙏
Hope your head behaves 😭
Option two has demonstrably more benefits.
Actually, we're only $3,086 away unlocking another issue of Apex Magazine. The fifth issue would be edited by the amazing @retreasure.bsky.social and feature previously unpublished authors. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

WE DID IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉
over $20,000 raised with 3 days still left to go! Thank you all so much to everyone who shared and supported our Kickstarter; we truly, TRULY couldn't have done it without you! 💜👽
Bask in the warm glow of a fully funded Kickstarter with us 🌟

So thank you THANK YOU to each and every person who helped us reach this goal. I think what we're doing is valuable and I love being a part of it. Here's to another year of Strange Surreal Shocking Beautiful fiction.
We don't bring in big name authors to anchor our funding drives, and we prioritize new voices. This is important to us, but it does make it more difficult to get the word out about our fundraising.
The @apexmag.bsky.social Kickstarter has reached our initial funding goal. I want to thank each and every author, writer, friend, and fan who has supported and shared and helped us reach this goal.
@retreasure.bsky.social and I are watching Night of the Demons over on the Apex Discord. If you're part of our Discord community, jump into the Apex Voice channel and join in the fun!
Terrifying and yet somehow tender at the same time.
Our backer-exclusive horror movie watch party is THIS SATURDAY, Oct. 25th at 12 PM EST! 🍿🎃
Join @retreasure.bsky.social and @lesleyconner.bsky.social for the 80s cult classic, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS! This event is exclusive to backers, so be sure to donate before Saturday if you want to join us! ⬇️
I am so excited (?) to share this experience with Lesley!!
Support the 2026 @apexmag.bsky.social Kickstarter! Apex publishes amazing SF, dark fantasy, and horror and we need their stories now more than ever.
I'll give an Apex gift subscription and dedication to one random person who promotes this Kickstarter! 1/
