Encouraged by "Dear lord, nothing in SMS or text-speak" which I've never mastered, I'm going to submit a story. Good luck with the new zine.

Torin · 04-24-2009, 05:04 AM

This actually looks like a great challenge!

Stijn Hommes · 04-29-2009, 01:26 PM

Finally another market that doesn't require overly long stories. I'll definitely be submitting if I get a good idea.

Thanks to everyone for your submissions so far. I know we've accepted a couple stories from folks who've told us they've come from this post, and we hope to see many more.

This weekend's theme is "Memories."

Tweet The Meat · 06-14-2009, 12:18 AM

The current theme is "Retro" if anyone is interested in submitting. Subs end Sunday night.

spamwarrior · 06-15-2009, 06:48 AM

Oh wow. This sounds awesome.

Interested? I think that's an understatement. :-)

Tweet The Meat · 06-26-2009, 10:25 PM

Thanks to all the AW's who have submitted so far. This weekend's theme will be "Hair"

upsidedowngrl · 07-11-2009, 01:27 AM

I would love to submit, but I think I'm still a bit confused on what to do. Maybe I'm just having a blonde moment. LOL (yes I am blonde). I have a twitter account, but not really sure how to do the story, I guess maybe I should re-read the above link sites.

Tweet The Meat · 08-30-2009, 07:26 AM

This weekend's theme is "Fetish," if anyone is interested. We've posted a lot of great stories from Absolute Writers.

Tweet The Meat · 10-22-2009, 02:58 AM

Wanted to let you guys know we're still up and running and publishing many, many of your fellow AWer's. We will celebrate 6 months on November 1st, and to celebrate we're currently running a contest that's open through Saturday Night with some great prizes.

And after that we'll still be open for regular submissions... Just not this weekend.
