In order to make all of this a little less confusing for everyone, and to make it all a little easier on us, we will no longer be closing submissions between issues. If you have a story that you think will work for us, send it in. We’ll either accept it for a future issue or let you know it doesn’t work for us at the moment.  We’re also going to be releasing each issue on the 1st of the month, so the next issue will be out on August 1st.

Our upcoming theme is still “Activism or the Trickster” and we’ll read submissions up until it’s time to start coding the issue, so if you missed the deadline, please go ahead and send in your story, poem, piece of art, music, or video. If you’ve already sent it and haven’t heard from us, we’re reading now and will respond by the 25th.

Our November 1 issue will be “This is our Glorious Future or Steampunk.” If you have a work of some sort that would be appropriate to that issue, go ahead and send it now if you’d like. We’re looking forward to seeing what you all do with it.

If you know of an artist, musician, animator or other artist we might like to feature in our pages, drop us a note or leave a comment. We’d love the help stalking the wee beasties.

We (meaning I) misspelled Aurelio Rico Lopez’s name when we introduced his poem “Borrowed”. The poem, however, remains unchanged (and still entertaining) on page 10.

As you may be aware, we theme each issue according to some arcane formula intended to drag into the light the strange things buried deep in the collective unconcious.

Next issue, due out July 20, the theme is “Activism or the Trickster”.  Don’t forget! Submissions close on June 30.

The following issue, due out October 20, the theme is “This is our Glorious Future or Steampunk”. Submissions close for that issue on September 30.
