Yea Forums Writing Competition

Hello Yea Forums,
My good friend Bill Murray and I launched a fiction and visual arts digital magazine yesterday.
Our backgrounds: a writer, a bureaucrat, a published author and a painter from the American northeast bored to death of the junk peddled by the major mags and their dull, MFA-riddled mastheads over the last twenty years. Thus we’ve launched our own.
Why Yea Forums?: We’re scouring /llit/ because despite being mostly degenerates there are certainly decent writers hiding among us.
Competition Overview: winners (2 total, 1 per category) will receive $50 dollars and will be included in the first issue, due out in early to mid October. No entry fee.
Rules/Guidelines:
>Fiction - 500-5000 words
>Visual - 5 images max
>No particular themes. Keep it to literary fiction, or speculative fiction grounded in realism, whatever that means. No science fiction, no fantasy, etc.
>Excerpts of longer works are accepted, but please indicate in your CL.
>If uncomfortable giving your real name, use a fake one. But do use a real email, so in the unlikely event you win we can transact.
>Prior publication history is irrelevant.
>We cannot accept previously published stuff, though.

Godspeed, Yea Forums

Bump

would love to participate, but my work is in portuguese

Are y'all the same guy as the other user that was looking for submissions a few weeks ago that was going on sabbatical?

Sounds interesting, and I want a writing project. How is it expected to be submitted format-wise?

It’s all on the website

Not me. But best of luck to him. A sabbatical sounds nice.

Who owns the rights to whats submitted?

Us, for a limited period of time. Standard stuff, not pulling anyone’s leg.

>bored of regular stuff
>ask contrarians

Out of curiosity who is your target market.

Nobody asked for a consultant

>No science fiction, no fantasy, etc.
u suck

I wasent going to give consultancy user neither was I judging im just curious on who you are targeting exactly but its fine if you want to keep it private for now I guess.

What is your magazine about?

>Bill Murray
Stupid question, but.... not "that" Bill Murray?

Do you accept fanfiction?

bump

eat my shorts gaylords

He means the Italian guy who always makes vocarooos on here

Do you accept poetry?

Yes

this, je m'interesse dafür

Imagine having this reaction to someone being inquisitive about something youre planing to sell because you perceive them as a threat

Not him. But isn’t it free?

who knows

theyre planning to peddle as much of it as possible either way

50 bucks as a prize? Pretty gay stuff my man.

I’m confused what an unknown lit journal could peddle and to who lol. It’s not like a multi level marketing scheme or something
Also do you accept animations/short films OP?

Fantasy is not allowed, but is highly symbolic and surreal prose allowed, as long as the story is "realistic"

They could steal your shit and put it out as their own somewhere else.

Yessir

No we couldn’t. There’s a contract everyone has to agree to before posting. Why are you being so shitty about it? trying to do something good here.

So burgerpunk?

What is the magazine about God damnit

I want to know too

>I’m confused what an unknown lit journal could peddle

The magazine itself

People on Yea Forums are cynical

Technorealism of course.

Boo fucking hoo faggot.

Cool

>500-5000 words

So, my shopping list

Ur so cool haha so edgy haha lmao

Cool post Ruggles

Do you take space operas?

BUMP

I have something that would probably fit pretty well but I question the sci-fi/fantasy limit given that it is pretty clear everyone wants to escape contemporary life these days. I find it funny the other amateur journal for alt-right edge lords that made a thread here was offering 75 a pop for work, and that was for any accepted submission and not just winners.

To be fair, a lot of these kinds of things are completely unpaid so even offering 50 bucks isn't completely terrible even if it's not that much money for what they're framing as a contest.

Oh I agree in that sense. I was just remarking it was funny that the other journal I saw asking for hand outs here named after Otoya Yamaguchi (The guy from that famous political stabbing picture killing a commie jap politican) offered money more generously.

Is the use of racial slurs allowed?

Yilo Minneapolis' life was like a regency romance. He was the Beau of the London social season; everything English nobility respected; clever but vapid, wealthy but lazy, and drop dead gorgeous. Yilo Minneapolis was the apple of every debutante's eye despite his queerness. Yilo was a Man's Man who knew just how to butter up and devour male flesh - especially the ebony type.

"Pish-posh Figgy, you would understand but your heteronormative mongoloid brain couldn't appreciate good old jolly buggery." Sighed Yilo

"Maybe so, but why is it specifically big black cock?" Figgy said lightly

"Because degeneracy is the essence of pleasure; beyond the bounds of propriety, to naughtily break the taboo." Exclaimed Yilo

"One would think when one is queer one is already going beyond the bounds," stated Figgy

"One would think, but when there are old Queens like Her Majesty Figgymumpous imposing the old order on the new man, there are new frontiers of buggery. New provinces of sin with which to disappoint God and your parents." Retorted Yilo

Yilo Minneapolish lights a cigarette, and despite the adversarial reparteé, Figgy reached into Yilo's trousers. Yilo's mind wanders between puffs of a cigarette as Figgy wanks him off while he contemplates how to import big black cocks into 1820 Regency England.

The day is long but the night is short. There are so many hours when one must be at balls, or billiards, or croquet, or salons, and so few taken in the bedroom in the euphoric furories of sexual excitement. The more ample my sex life the more absent my social life. So I had a very clever idea, why not combine the two? And thus I discovered the fine art of Swinging which occupied the life of many of the good and old of England. Lord Eavesham, little old Figgy's Papa, was the one who first turned me onto it noticing I and Figgy's reclusion in Figgy's bedchamber the months Figgy was in London. He reviled the musk penetrating into the halls where he walked everyday. Eavesham who was sexually enlightened had not a problem with the activity, but the fermentation of love vapours ruined his enjoyment of his townhouse. What I and Figgy learned of was the Hidden Social Season.

The London Social Season was, of course, the English aristocracy descending on the capital for a summer of pomp and festivity - this is the time to be known for anybody who's anybody. The Hidden Social Season was akin to a secret society. An esoteric club for sexually enlightened aristocrats to indulge their illegal delights and curiosities. No man speaks of what happens in the coven. If the public knew, God save us.

1/2

We could get anything we wanted. We could indulge any sin. But before you are accepted to the club you have to buy a chair. Figgy got his Papa's chair, and I my chair from a geriatric pederast by the name of Mowbarry, for the simple role of being his young companion. Mowbarry was quite alright even though he did have a tendance to drool and breath through his mouth in a garish way, but that's what the club was for. That's what the club was about. There is no ugliness in the halls of the cove. Only beautiful decadence.

2/2

Sure if it adds to the art. The only world we’ve banned is “Honk.”

Why?

It’s racist
