Send us your best shot, the witty repartée that you always wished you had uttered, in any written genre for consideration for publication in Casting Aspersions.
Bring us your birds, your bevies and coveys, your murders and unkindnesses, your nests. Bring us swoop and sail and alight and soar.

Are you tempted to discover what secrets the waters hold or do you feel safer with your feet planted in the sand on shore?
Your submission must include Paris, whether as a memory, wishful thinking, an anecdote, the setting for your story or poem, a place of importance, or where you live or holiday …
Even an excellent literary magazine doesn't necessarily last forever. There are quite a few journals the After Happy Hour editors used to read (or were published in) that now no longer exist--and that's a shame, because they published great stuff that people should still be able to read.
We want your poetry and prose to have a stranger as the focal point of the writing, but we want to see your take on Strangers.
This issue considers “Fashion” in all its forms used in literary writing to reveal character. Let’s make it colorful and full of new insight!
Send your sophonic epiphanies, your furled wisdom and strange philosophies.
What is your story about not mixing with something or someone?
