Nita raised her eyebrows at the slug line of one [advertising] feature. "NASA's gonna be glad to hear we've got a ruthless and terrible space fleet." Carmela snickered. ..."Yeah, but 'Mela, you know as well as I do it's not true! Is putting something like this out there smart?" "Why not? If everybody thinks Earth has a big aggressive space fleet, no one'll bother turning up on our doorstep with one, will they." ...Nita squinted to read the block of tiny, tiny print at the bottom of the promotional feature, again displayed in English to ease the handling of some of the more obscure Rirhait idioms. “…Wait. ‘Earth’, ‘Mysterious Earth’ and ‘Mother Earth The Legendary Home Of Humankind’ are licensed trademarks of Gaia Protectorate CRLLC, terms and conditions apply, planetary descriptions may change from time to time without notice at management’s discretion—” And then in the tiniest print possible, “—battle fleet not included’??” “Legalese,” Carmela said, craning her neck to see ahead of them. “It’s not like the disclaimers actually have any force in law, really, once you’ve—” “I can’t believe this,” Nita said. “‘CRLLC?’ Did you incorporate the entire planet Earth somewhere?!” “Here, actually,” Carmela said. “The corporate tax rate here is reeeeeeeeallly low. Especially if you’ve saved the place from alien invasion. At which point it drops to zero. …If not lower.” Nita’s mouth dropped open. “And why're you looking so shocked? You cosigned the incorporation documents when we were here last.” Being reduced to speechlessness around Carmela was hardly a new experience for Nita, but this particular incidence was setting new records for the underlying implications...

There are tons of amazing writers and illustrators from all walks of life, doing their best to create stories with unapologetically evil female characters.

I personally was able to add my own experience as a queer writer with my story about a child's discontentment with their gender identity and the monsters that drove them to seek their own path in adulthood.

I was welcomed happily into this anthology by Cassandra, who pushed to maintain my voice throughout the editing process.

Its been a wonderful experience and it would mean so much if we could win this prize and bring more attention to these unique stories.
