5_trope
On this continuous occasion of our expansion, herewith a cautionary
note to prospective submitters and a reassurance to the growing
ranks of our readers: nothing delights us as much as splashing about
in a slush pile or having the daylights knocked out of us by anything
wonderworthy missiled over our transom. Things we're less keen about
include dumbed-down postmodernism, stupor-realism, hobby-hour slipslop,
flashcard fiction, workshop outtakes, scissored-and-mucilaged scraps
from daybooks, lawless lengths of kaffee-klatsch verse, bed-lamped
jottings, writing-programmese, playtime speech-stunts, words filliped
randomwise onto the screeny page, or "creative writing" (the very
phrase puts us in a foul mood). Before submitting work to 5_Trope,
have a look at the work on exhibit in our current and previous issues.
Then come to us with the unnerving, the uncompromised, the unexampled,
the unpredictable, and the spankingly unprecedented.
Submissions - A note on poetry submissions—we
currently have a large stack of poetry to get through; we are always
pleased and plotting to read more, but buyer beware, our poetry
response time [and time between acceptance and publication] may
be a bit sluggish.
