    A note on what we don't want: We do not publish novels. We do not publish fan fiction. We do not publish experimental pieces. We do not publish articles or research papers. We do not publish erotica, though there can be erotic and/or graphic elements in your fiction, as long as they are tasteful and for the purpose of telling a great story. Multiple submissions are permitted. However, for longer pieces such as general fiction, horror, fantasy/science-fiction, or nonfiction, please only send two (2) pieces at once. For shorter pieces such as flash fiction, please only send three (3) pieces at once. You may also send one longer piece (general fiction, horror, fantasy/science-fiction, or nonfiction) and one flash fiction piece at once, so two (2) pieces total.
