Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission is a work of fiction, not an actual report of empirical results.
  • The submission has either been prepared for anonymous review or the author listed on the work is a pseudonym.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • The submission file is in one of the following document file formats: PDF, OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, LaTeX, or pandoc-flavored Markdown.
  • If the submission is PDF, Word, or similar, then the text uses a 12-point font; spacing is set to reasonable, easily readable format; and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

"Articles" in any field of research are welcome. Submissions will be "peer" reviewed prior to publication. If an editor finds the submission worthy of consideration, they will send it out for consideration by at least one other reader, who will provide feedback for the author and a recommendation for the editor about publication. Review criteria include but are not limited to:

  1. Submission should take the form of a scholarly work.
  2. Submission should not report actual results or plausible ideas.* 
  3. Submissions should be clever, witty, or at least readable. 
  4. Submissions should have some point or effect on the reader, e.g., parody, humor, political statement, engaging narrative, aesthetic subliminity, cosmic horror.
  5. Within the obvious limitations of the genre, submissions should not be too tedious or didactic. 

Submissions should not exceed 9,000 words without prior discussion with the editor. And let's be honest, brevity is the soul of wit. 

* In fields like philosophy or literary theory, the distinction between actual and satirical is difficult to judge, and may depend on the intentions of the author or the interpretation of the reader. Nevertheless, the review criteria will consider the work as work of fiction and not as a theoretical treatise.
