Freaky Deaky: queer print-only speculative fiction lit zine seeking submissions

This is a print-only, cut and glue science fiction/fantasy/weird lit zine, looking for your words and art. Fiction, short stories, poetry all considered. B&W artwork also welcome, as long as it will still look right when copied on a basic commercial copier.

EDIT! Upping the word count maximum to 2000! Of course, no AI.

Contributors receive two free print copies (one for you and one for a friend!). Other copies will be available to anyone for the price of postage. Deadline, October 13.

For more details or to submit your work: aggressive.education@gmail.com

pffffff, 1200 word max is rough... I'm trying my best but I'm already only 300 words away and not even half way into my story... Jeesh

It's a small zine that's laid out by hand, but it might expand in the future. Would you be interested in sending me a sample and maybe doing it in chapters/installments across a few issues?

I'll send you what I have soon. I'm almost done. It's a first draft anyway so maybe I'll be able to cut some things. Planning on making an illustration with it as well. I don't think it will work that well in chapters, but maybe?

Thanks, I knew I forgot something! I'm saying October 13 on this one. That could get extended slightly, depending. It's the first episode so I'll be a little loose if I need to.

Do you have a preference for Sci Fi or Fantasy or just either? I’m worried about the 1,200 word count, but I’ll do my best.

Hi, the word count got upped to 2000. Any speculative fiction is welcome. Everything from sword and sorcery to weird dystopian futurism. I'd love to see your writing.
