Looking for a bit of direction--not even necessarily with specific markets (although that would be lovely), but what kinds I should be looking for...
I wrote this thing, 3,000 words, that is about fairies who communicate in fart noises. However, it is violent and kind of depressing, I guess, depending on who you ask. I got responses ranging from "hilarious" to "horrific" and "tragic" and "I'm not sure what to make of this," etc. It was suggested that I try submitting it, which I have, to some markets that accept dark fantasy and seem to have room for odder things.
But I'm not sure I'm going about it right... Wondering if I be looking for a) markets that focus on the weird, b) markets that focus on dark fantasy, or c) markets that are more in the area of horror...
Or if it even matters. Just sort of lost.
