A Few Things

One: If you somehow missed it last week, Issue Nineteen is now available for your reading and downloading pleasure. Feel free to laud the authors in an exaggerated fashion, as a lack of ego-stroking is one of the main causes of writer’s block. Or maybe it’s just nice. I don’t know; I’m not a doctor.

Two: There are two new reviews of Exponential Apocalypse out there on the internets, one at Dazed Rambling and the other at eclectic/eccentric. Please read responsibly. To the best of our knowledge no one has lost their shit in the comments and we’d like to keep it that way.

Three: We’ve got at least the next two issues in the chamber, and Monica and I are going to be busy the next few weeks, so we’re going to close submissions at midnight on April 15th. We’ll be reopening them on June 1st, probably with some changes. We’ll let you know. In the meantime, write until your hands cramp.

Even More Submissions

In case you missed it the other day, submissions are now open again. Please check out our full guidelines and send us what you’ve got.

But that’s not all! In an effort to update the site with new content more than once a month, we’re also instituting two new features:

The First 22 will involve a series of short stories set in the Exponential Apocalypse universe prior to the events of the book, written by Eirik and updated whenever he’s got a finished story that doesn’t suck.

Brilliant Disguise, on the other hand, is open to everyone. We’re looking for stories inspired by the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen. We’re going to be a bit more lenient with tone and style, but submissions need to be under 1,000 words. Full guidelines are here.

So there you go. More reasons to read, but, more importantly, even more reasons to write. We’ll be waiting patiently by our inbox.
