IT'S A GOD? That Doesn't Mean It Outranks You!

Flirty. Lookin' good!

Artist Cryo Haze has crafted a gorgeous, dreamy representation of the odd for our very first cover! (Her background as a zoologist probably came in handy.) www.patreon.com/posts/hare-r...

So, so, so, so fun.

But I want it now!

Wait until you read this one...

We're now open to art submissions for the second issue! www.adventitious.net/submission-g...

Feels a bit like we're gonna get a few submissions titled "Nipples of Grimdark" next round....

Dance, magic, dance.

Happy Alf Gappen's Day to all who celebrate! May your Glory Hats be joyously adorned, the Cauldron Father bring such magnificent Krimmskramm, and your Leppateppi keep you warm.

It's an outstanding story, too. Landing February 1st at adventitious.net!

First contract....signed! Can't wait to tell you the author.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

Feels weird to write a first paywalled post. At least this one is celebrating all the weirdos who submitted to the slush. (There are enough fantastic stories to fill 10 magazines.) www.patreon.com/posts/celebr... You can support us on Patreon for BTS content and other cool nonsense.

What I've learned from opening up the slush pile: there is an overwhelming amount of outstanding stories looking for good homes.

We hit our 200-submission quote within 9 hours on the first day, which is incredibly exciting. I'll be reviewing submission capacity to try to allow for more next time! [Rolls up sleeves]

So...I just woke up to 150 submissions of a 200-submission cap, so we may have to rethink the submission window to allow more people to submit...whew!

Yeah. Who hasn't?

Spent all day breaking the website, so this whole project is starting to get real.
