Another example of the #FIYAHCON effect in action:

CAN YOU SIGN MY TENTACLE? just jumped to Amazon’s #1 Caribbean Poetry New Release & the #13 Caribbean Poetry Best Seller!

Thank you so much for supporting this & all the other brilliant works by POC mentioned at #FIYAHCON2021!

I just realised:

last FIYAHCON, Spotify wasn't available in 🇹🇹, so I could only listen to all the top-tier writer playlist picks in the Meloscriptorium in 30-second chunks.

But now, I have Spotify! So I'm saving alladem. This Action playlist gonna get me through a draft soon!

The fact that #FIYAHCON2021 is doing this work in particular--not only archiving this content for people to explore as a resource later, but making sure it's transcribed for accessibility purposes--is so radical all on its own.

Archive will be delayed by transcription - we have the videos but we want to add captions and links for everything. Expect them to get posted on the website a few weeks for now. https://twitt…

#FIYAHCON2021 just hit us with the exclusive: the inimitable @m_older has A NEW NOVELLA COMING OUT IN 2023 from @TorDotComPub, edited by @fiyahlitmag's own brilliant @BrentCLambert! I'm so very excited! It sounds so rad and I want it in my eyes already!

This panel was brilliant. @mel_thegreat, @Ethereal_ilo, @JCHart, @RB_Lemberg & mod @valerievaldes had so much thoughtfulness and wisdom to share! #FIYAHCON2021 #BonFIYAH

Not me in this very wonderful Book Boyfriends panel at #FIYAHCON2021 geeking out in the chat with my fellow nerds about Alec Hardison from Leverage.

Thank you all for joining us over at the #BonFIYAH for our Speculative Poetry panel! That was a lot of fun! Massive shout-outs to @ameiramar, @bogiperson & moderator @valerievaldes (& @bakronline, despite technical difficulties!) for having such wise things to say! #FIYAHCON2021

Thank you all so much for coming to hear me read from Can You Sign My Tentacle? this evening! If you want to get your own tentacles around the collection, it's available on Amazon or from your fav local indie bookstore! https://www.interstellarflightpress.com/canyousignmytentacle.html

The Word, Sound, Power panel at #FIYAHCON2021 was amazing! I could easily listen to @SydMT, @EdenRoyce, @djolder & @pdjeliclark talk about the power and importance of preserving our voice in SFF for several more hours. 🔥

YOOO! Very excited to see @villainvicencio & @SirenaBesos play Red Delicious! Definitely check out @HuetopiaTV's stream later and give them a lot of love (and a lot of money for a good cause)!

I just skipped from a panel on Black queer fantasy to a panel on the value of SFF awards to an upcoming one on voice and language in SFF, and I'm enjoying every bit of #FIYAHCON2021 today. 🔥

I woke up late for some of my favourites! But I'm starting today's #FIYAHCON2021 with replays.

What does happen when the Trinis find themselves at a table in a con? Even a virtual con? Well, BACCHANAL is the answer! Yuh hadda hear the talk we talking over here.

The Decolonising Narrative Structures #BonFIYAH panel was so abundantly informative! Listening to @WHereaka, @yilinwriter, @daphneleeml & @IoriKusano discuss the myriad other ways to tell a story (and the cultural value of each way) is genuinely inspiring.

In just about 10 minutes, come join me, @charlesatan, @jeannette_ng, @ilaimarie and @IoriKusano as we gather by the #BonFIYAH to discuss that most curious and revered form of fan labour: fan translation!
