Transcriptase
We are Helix writers who believe in a speculative fiction community that welcomes all readers—inclusive of all races, genders, and marginalized people of all backgrounds.
In July 2008, Helix editor William Sanders stirred up controversy in the community with remarks that many found offensive.
As the controversy continued, several Helix writers asked to remove their work from the magazine and were met with unprofessional treatment. This upset all of us. We agreed that we would not stand by in silence.
Transcriptase hosts reprints of our stories and poems originally published at Helix. During the controversy, some of us removed our work from Helix; others left it up. There are valid reasons to make either choice, and we hope you’ll respect that we had difficult decisions to make. We offer our stories and poems at Transcriptase so that you can enjoy our work away from Helix, if you choose.
9 poems and 28 short stories by 27 authors are reprinted on this webpage.

About the author
Danny Adams
28 books21 followersI enjoy writing and reading (of course), hiking, stargazing, and getting into things. I don't mind coloring inside the lines as long as I'm the one drawing the lines.
I'm the co-author of forthcoming science fiction novel A Hole in Wednesday (July 2016, Meteor House), a prequel to Philip Jose Farmer's famous Dayworld series that Farmer started but never finished.
I am also the co-author with Phil Farmer of the short science fiction novel The City Beyond Play (PS, 2007 / 2012). Some of my shorter stuff has appeared in Abyss & Apex, Appalachian Heritage, Asimov's Science Fiction, Ideomancer, Mythic Delirium, Not One Of Us, Paradox, Space & Time, Star*Line, Strange Horizons, The Worlds of Philip Jose Farmer, and even the Journal of the American Chestnut Foundation. I also review science fiction and fantasy books for Publishers Weekly.
Most of the time I live in the 21st century. Not always, but I'm easy enough to find one way or the other.
