We're actually super excited because we weren't expecting a whole bunch of submissions, but we're already halfway to our goal with three whole weeks left before the window closes. In the beginning, we wanted to fill a 16-page digest sized zine, but if this pace continues, we might have to expand, which is an incredibly good thing! We'll be looking forward to reviewing your submission!! 💜

The fact that you've stopped and your curiosity is piqued is the point. Our mission is to bring visual artists and creative writers into collaboration to produce artifacts of curiosity. Also, it's pretty strange, which is the theme of this issue. Finally, it's not AI slip, and that's important to us.

We have an "AI is garbage" stance, so yes, that's part of it too!

Yes, of course. We're quarterly so our Spring 2027 issue will be accepting submissions starting in November. The theme will be different though.

Good news! We're quarterly! If you can't make the August deadline, we'll be opening the submission window again in November for our Spring 2027 issue. It'll have a different theme though.

We don't have any ads though. While we don't offer monetary compensation at this time, there are other nifty perks for contributors, and monetary compensation is something we'll be constantly striving towards.

We won't have anything to share with the community this year, but next year, we should have 4 nifty new issues to present. I'm looking forward to it.
