From the Editor<\/span><\/p>\n

Online magazine of socio-political speculative fiction: Feminist SF; Queer SF; Eco SF. (Currently closed to submissions; will reopen in 2011.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions<\/span><\/p>\n

In our manifesto we say that good fiction should be both beautiful and useful. First and foremost a good story: well-written, original, tightly plotted, containing necessary details, believable characters and setting, and beautiful and unexpected use of language. But we have turned down the opportunity to publish many fine and beautiful stories that don’t contain the socio-political element we’re looking for. That is to say, stories that didn’t tell us something about our own world, about the injustice or corruption or bigotry or the other evils that make it so hard to live in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A convincingly terrifying dystopia that doesn’t contain 1984esque warnings about our own world; a thrilling military SF adventure that doesn’t bemoan (or satirize) the dehumanization of the soldier; an eco-thriller that doesn’t show us what we need to change in our lives *now* to prevent catastrophe from happening. Equally, the most useful story, in these senses, wont find a place in! our pag es unless it is also beautiful, writing of the highest quality, polished and poetic and surprising.<\/span><\/p>\n
