Last time I put a call up here, we were looking for noir and got some good stuff. Now the mag has shifted toward a generally dark variety of literary.
Check out the site and if you like what is there. Let's see some stories.
Interesting concept. Although I found Hubert Selby's work rather uplifting. I mean, isn't Requiem For A Dream a love story when you get down to brass tacks?
I guess my only complaint would be the fiction word limit is rather short at 1000 words, but other than that it looks like something I would definitely pick up.
Is this publication based in Utah?
Try the official whoring thread. That is where folks usually go to pimp stuff. and where other folk go to check it out.
Devon, I just sent something your way.
Working on something for you.
I've got a 250 word flash piece I was working on expanding to 500 max. It's pretty f-n sad. I'll spice it up and submit as well. No expectations. Thanks for this thread.
I don't write a lot of flash, but if I end up with something short enough, you'll be on my list.
Flash is a rough market.
Been doing this ten years and I've yet to have a short clock in under 1,000.
What's the max word count you would consider? I'm sitting on a bunch of shorts somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3k words.
You're looking for dark right now? I have noir, a little dark, not too much. Think Elmore Leonard. May not be what you're looking for right now.
Just have to say, best name for a mag ever. I'll send something just because I'd love to be able to say I was published by Downer. That's great.
Good luck with it. I feel your pain, sometimes I feel like it can be difficult to place some of my stories due to them being dark but not especially horrific.
Alright I'm game. Just emailed a piece I worked on about a year ago that should fall in line nicely with your publication. Might be a little long at 3446 words, but I tried Flash to varying degrees of success. Sorry, I haven't reached ADD in epic proportions just yet and don't mind spending an hour on the toilet in the morning reading and putting off work.
