ladybusinessLast quarter, we asked everyone to submit short fiction they had loved published between January 1, 2015 and March 31st, 2015.

Feel free to share this list with http://bit.ly/shortfiction2015-Q1-results. Happy reading! :)
Although we're a little late launching, we're definitely interested in seeing what everyone discovered during the second quarter of the year.
Feel free to drop all the short fiction you loved that was published between April 1, 2015 and June 30th, 2015, into the form at http://bit.ly/shortfiction2015-Q2.

The form will be open from July 28, 2015 to August 7, 2015. We're still working out the kinks in the process, so if you have questions hit us up in the comments or @feministponies on Twitter!
