InsomniaJam2025 – Open Sorcery

A new excellent submission has arrived.

#InsomniaJam2025 has a new submission. @1veetvoojagig.bsky.social submitted the incredible and deeply relatable perzine “Sleep Is Hard” and I absolutely love it. Read it here: https://itch.io/jam/insomnia-jam/rate/3566630 -Allēna #zine #perzine #insomnia #NEISvoid #disability #disabilities

This is absolutely shocking in the best way possible.

I wasn’t going to allow video games in #InsomniaJam2025, but @catkrakenstudio.ru has not only gotten me to game OF MY OWN VOLITION for the first time in years, but their submission, “Turn From Darkness”, blew my ever living MIND. Here it is. https://itch.io/jam/insomnia-jam/rate/3561223 I highly recommend it. -Allēna

Another submission, lessssgoooooooo!

#InsomniaJam2025 has YET ANOTHER insanely good submission – made using Infinite Poems, (Almost) Infinite Combinations, by the way – by @amhansenauthor.bsky.social ! Here it is: https://itch.io/jam/insomnia-jam/rate/3551381 -Allēna #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #poetry #poet #terminallucidity

Unhinged behavior that I adore.

#InsomniaJam2025 has a new submission. It’s absolutely fucking unhinged and I love it. Here it is: https://itch.io/jam/insomnia-jam/rate/3547841 -Allēna #writingcommunity #shortfiction #unhinged #insomnia #sleepdeprivation #wtf

Whoa…

Holy fuck. #InsomniaJam2025 has another submission and it blew me away. “I CAN’T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE” by @diandianthus.bsky.social is a striking zine about the horrific experience of chronic fatigue and insomnia.

I’m loving all these #InsomniaJam2025 submissions.

Like this poem that was just submitted by GhostandShadows. It perfectly describes late night daydreams. Here it is: https://ghostandshadows.itch.io/i-wish-i-was-a-bird -Allēna #poem #poet #bird #longing #insomniac #itchio #writerswanted #amreading

This is MY #InsomniaJam2025 submission. I am a bit nervous since, in the true spirit of the game, most of it spilled out of me in about a week, late at night when I couldn’t sleep.

But here goes nothing. https://itch.io/jam/insomnia-jam/rate/3533289 -Allēna #poetryzine #litzine #chapbook
