Theme: Black and White"},"content":{"rendered":"

The theme is Black and White. I\u2019ve made a picture, too. Apply it how you want. Do you have a character who doesn\u2019t believe in nuance? Have all the colors been arrested and imprisoned? Make up a story, apply your interpretation, and send it in.<\/p>\n

The winning story will get $50 again. Four more stories will be selected, $20 each this time.<\/p>\n

Again, I know this isn\u2019t a ton of money, but I\u2019m still not rich.<\/p>\n

Someone just asked about poetry. Send in a poem if you like, totally fine by me.<\/p>\n

Last time, I had to force my co-workers to read the stories after they all said, \u201cOh yeah, that sounds like so much fun!\u201d when I originally asked them if they wanted to judge the stories. It did turn out to be a lot of fun in the end. It was so much fun, in fact, that I\u2019m getting a whole new batch of judges this time. Same setup as before, maybe we\u2019re not qualified, but I\u2019ve never let that stop me. The reading will be blind and fair. It didn\u2019t matter last time, but let\u2019s cap the stories at 2,000 words. No minimum. We\u2019ll close early if we get 150 submissions, but that seems unlikely.<\/p>\n

No reprints, please. Simultaneous submissions are ok, and the zine will only be in print form, so I don\u2019t know if you count anything in it as \u2018published\u2019. Also, I\u2019m not asking for exclusive rights, just the rights to include it in the zine. If you want to make my life a little easier, remove your name from your submission ahead of time. The judging will be blind and if you can\u2019t or won\u2019t take your name off your submission, I can do it. It\u2019s not grounds for disqualification, just an extra step.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t feel like anyone should have to say it, but don\u2019t send in anything written by, or with the assistance of, AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever else is out there. What\u2019s the point? Wouldn\u2019t it be a lot cooler if AI did your laundry anyway? Write your own story, please.<\/p>\n
