So has anyone here actually read any of these? Which are good?
>rod serling voicePicture this, an ordinary town, an ordinary day, an ordinary man. Enter Anon Anonson, the most average man in the world. Even he thinks he's average, but little does he know that he lives...in The Indian ZoneHundreds of Indians pouring into the country while the government assures him everything is fineHouses destroyed, people in homeless camps, while the politicians get rich off investments. A more terrifying world cannot be imagined, but such is life, in The Indian Zone
Since I doubt that even OP actually reads these publications I'm giving some of their latest fiction a try and judging them based on that.>Clarkesworld"ABSTRACTION IS WHEN I DESIGN GIANT DEATH CREATURES AND ATTRACTION IS WHEN I DO IT FOR YOU" - Unreadable."WIREWORKS" - Fun, but the characters act like cartoon characters and the story left me wondering if the writer realizes how dystopic the utopia they came up with is. "Four People I Need You to Kill Before the Dance Begins" - The bad title almost made me skip this one. It was the boring writing that sealed the deal. Unreadable.Verdict: Eh, go ahead and submit, couldn’t hurt.
>>24737317Thanks, anon. Been working on a short story would lend itself nicely to one of these magazines. I didn't really know where to look as it isn't the kind of thing I usually write, so this thread has helped me quite a lot. Now it's time to finish the story.
>>24737317Thanks man
>>24737317What if I write in a language other than English
>>24737523I know some of the authors personally.
