People keep submitting, we keep reading. Submitting, reading, submitting, reading - will it ever end?

(Yes - 15th October, be sure to submit by then as this the last submission period of 2025! We however will keep reading after that until they've all been considered.)

Readers are starting to engage with dark magic rituals to face lack of sleep and brain mush, but do not hesitate, they knew what they were signing for (with their blood)!
Submit!

Give us scifi, give us fantasy, give us anything in between, a bit scary here, a bit heartbreaking there, some frantic action, hope that lingers, a fun ride with so many layers underneath...
Any and all of it, or something else?
Don't self reject, SUBMIT 🥰

We're reading the stories that have already been submitted. We've got stories that make us laugh, gasp, think hard and occasionally be very puzzled (please read the guidelines!), and we're open for more. Submit your speculative fiction under 5000 words!

What timezone do we... I mean THEY operate out of? It's a mystery.

(The moon, by convention, operates under Coordinated Universal Time).
