Underside Stories

Open to: Submissions must be in English; translations must be disclosed. Legal minors must be prepared to provide parental or guardian approval upon acceptance.

Open to fiction of any genre that fits the underside concept, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thriller, humor, literary fiction, horror, magic realism, crime, supernatural, slipstream, and other tones. No fanfiction or erotica; keep content around PG-13. No hard word limit, but stories are usually posted individually up to about 5,000 words; 10,000–15,000 words is possible but a harder sell, and pieces over 6,000 words must be attached as RTF or DOCX. Reprints and previously rejected work are welcome. Send one story per submission.
