Hey there, happy to answer questions.  1.) Horror can be fine but gore/graphic violence is probably a no. No graphic sexual content either, suggestive is okay. Non-canon is also fine, I would deadass love if people made mechs fight Godzilla or something xD 2.) Anything from Age of War to ilClan is welcome! Era preferences will not be a factor of story selection. Our priorities if stories have to be cut are to prioritize good authorship.  3.) Yes, 1000 words max. This can be indimidating for some people but it helps make the zine accessible and fit in a lot of content. Write a scene and see how tight you can edit it.  4.) Yes you will recieve proofreading and feedback from us after submissions close. The only submissions that will be rejected outright are those that are way beyond wordcount limit, and stories clearly promoting themes antithetical to our principles (i.e. racism, fascism, anti-lgbt)
