Editors' Choice
The November theme prompt, Feasts with the Beasts, ended on December 15 with the final accepted entry published on January 3. In all, we published thirteen imaginative mash-ups involving more advanced and less advanced creatures of various cultures, planets, and species. We'll include a full list of the published theme stories at the end of this post.
For this theme prompt, the editors at SFS Publishing have chosen to recognize one story that involved probably the slimiest and least likely class of creatures with whom one might imagine breaking bread. Coincidentally, this was also the very first submission to the prompt on November 16, the day after the prompt went out!
