Submissions
We’re looking for prose between 200-1000 words that is founded on wit, humour, puns, absurdity and irony. Put away the sledgehammer, the cliches, the tired tropes and the nastiness. What we won’t publish are: – stories that are gratuitously offensive. You know exactly what we mean, so don’t try us. – jokes and/or comedy routines. This is a site dedicated to longer written humour. Hard sells will include the list below, which will no doubt grow longer with experience: – If you think excretion or genitalia or four-letter words are inherently funny, this is not the place for you. – Current political satire, including fake news. – Shaggy dog stories (unless they’re about shaggy dogs) – Snarky diatribes
