Even Japan doesn't have a ton of sci fi and horror magazines.

I figured as much. Actually, this might be a good time for me to get my thumbs out of my ass and start translating my stuff into English. There's always been that fear of losing things in translation simply because I'm not good enough but it could be worth trying nonetheless. I know my short horror stories are great in Swedish and if they suck in English you'll tell me, right? ^^

I definitely will. And I'll be on the lookout for idiomatic things and the sort of stuff that might get lost in a translation. Your English is a lot less stunted than that of a lot of people who I've seen on the internet.

Sweet! I'll start Project Translation first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for being all nice and everything.

I'm surprised this hasn't seen more submissions.

Sorry for slacking, I meant to donate more time to this.

What sort of stories are you thinking? Original tales or Fan Fiction etc.?

Doc Faustus 02-23-2011 12:57 PM

No fan fiction. Original stories, poetry, essays and art only please.

Hi Doc, are you still excepting entries for this?

Doc Faustus 04-29-2011 10:37 AM

Yes. I've received very few.

I finally have some time on my hands - I'll work on getting something together.
