Story Preview #1: "Elizabeth Yu Is a Universal Constant" by @sydneyficant137.bsky.social. This story has everything: nanobots, inter-universal spying, accountants, some more accountants, fast food sponsorships, oh and also the terrible realization that you don't really matter.

🇵🇭 EEAO but Evelyn's stuck doing taxes in every universe bc how many opportunities are really available under oppressive systems? "Elizabeth Yu is a Universal Constant" got me into the Clarion Workshop & the Octavia Butler Scholarship & was one of my fave stories to write. Out now in FF#21 👇

Just signed a contract with @fusionfragment.bsky.social!!! "Elizabeth Yu is a Universal Constant" will be in FF #21!! It's a kind of funny, kind of sad, kind of angry near-future multiverse story set in Manila that I had a lot of fun with. It couldn't be in a more perfect home ❤️
