Author Description

WHEN GENRES COLLIDE, CHAOS REIGNS-AND MAGIC EMERGES. This anthology from the FSF Writers Alliance presents eleven winning stories from the Mashup Contest, where writers were dared to blend the unblendable. Dragons stalk subway tunnels. High school science projects crack open the laws of reality. Punk rockers strike deals with fae royalty. And Olympic athletes go head-to-head with AI implants, kung fu, and fractured simulations. Four prompts. Dozens of entries. Eleven unforgettable stories that defy the rules and rewrite the playbook. Featuring courtroom absurdity, mythic rebellion, experimental A.I., and glam-soaked chaos, Mash Up proves that great stories are born where genres crash together and take on a life of their own. Whether you like your fantasy sharp, strange, or soaked in amplifier feedback, there's something here for every reader who's ever asked: what happens if we go completely off script? There's no map. Just follow the sound of claws, chords, and code.
