The Best Submission Guideline I’ve Ever Seen

Found for Labyrinth Inhabitant Magazine, an SFF zine dedicated, as the name suggests, to stories about people living in mysterious and labyrinthine environments. This is one of the things they don’t want to see: “a sensitive, brooding guy who roams around a labyrinth for the whole story thinking about things, and then at the end he looks in a mirror and it turns out he’s the minotaur. This is Labyrinth Inhabitant Magazine. I am not going to be surprised by that twist ending.“

Part of me would love to read a few hundred submissions for a magazine’s slush pile. Before the suicide-urge kicked in, I’m sure you’d find some interesting and hilarious patterns.
