We put out a zine on a semi-regular basis featuring short stories and art. We're going to add a podcast this year. I believe firmly in paying artists for their work. That's why we started the zine. We follow writers and artists. ToadShadeZine.com
I just finished sending out emails letting everyone know we didn't receive enough submissions to move forward with issue 4. We may try again early next year. Thanks to everyone who sent stories and art!
Today's the last day for subs for issue four of Toad Shade Zine! Get your story or art in by midnight CDT.

We've had two stories withdrawn from this submission period! I love congratulating people for getting their work published.
But just a reminder that We're All Going to Die is open for subs for one more week!

Sovereignty over your body...except for women.
Submissions are open for the theme 'We're All Going to Die'.

So you have, what, two dozen websites and an equal number of BSKY accounts? Are you advertising that you charge submission fees but don't actually pay the winners of any of your contests? Artists can't eat exposure.
Maybe tell people you're not a paying market more explicitly.
Is this more payment-in-exposure?
The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.”
The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.
We're going to open subs again from September 1st to September 30th with the theme 'We're All Going to Die!' for an issue featuring horror stories and art.

Spires, lamps, and staircases with the title Stone Heart: Stone & Flame Book 1. The author's name is Mallory Glass.
Check out my business partner's book. It's been called a mix of Eros & Psyche and Beauty & The Beast. It's spicy, plus extremely well-written!

Well, that's, like, your opinion, man.
I have a book of short stories on sale for $0.99. Take a chance for once in your life.

A book, a lemon, a lit candle, and a plate of ham are artfully arranged by someone, obviously a genius, to illustrate that all of life's pleasures are fleeting.
Still Life: Book with Ham. I feel like this composition encapsulates the brevity of our time together. Note the placement of the ham, as if to suggest that the soul may perhaps be infinite. Something to ponder...
At first I was all "Holy shit! She's stabbing a dog!"
Just a gentle reminder that the stories in this issues kick so much ass. And...supporting the zine is supporting writers you since we're paying for stories and art out of our own pockets. Every dollar helps!

That's what we did, and look how happy we are!
You are the hero of today.
I mean, shouldn't it have stopped for the sign on the bus in the first place?
My therapist told me to try and keep things in perspective, that there are still hopeful practices we can engage in. Just to say you're not alone in this feeling.
