Where to submit weird/horror/fantasy short stories?

>>9461686
If you don't mind having your stuff read out in audiobook form, there's a few linked podcasts (Escape Pod for SF, PodCastle for fantasy, and Pseudopod for horror) that pay 6 cents a word.

lol op i used to think the same thing, "genre fags are such pussies, i bet it will be a lot easier to get published by them, let me write some hack pulp shit to get my writers resume beefed up, then go for the serious lit" but then i realized i'm a total scifi dilettante and have no knowledge of the genre will probably just come up with some tropey shit

>>9461686
you can self-publish now senpai

>>9461766
There's also this. You won't make a particularly huge amount of money that way, but frankly unless you have a King level of normie-appeal you wouldn't through traditional publishing either.

he probably just considers pure masturbation to be wacking it to heterovaginal sex or sth rather than like tranny bukake or something

>>9461766
Not him, but it's just kind of special to get published by a magazine/website/podcast. I've been published a few times, haven't made a cent, but it's a wonderful feeling to hear from someone else that they consider your work worthwhile.

OP here. Can't lie, this was on my mind. It's not my sole motive but if you just self-publish, well, it's not like your text went through any criticism before making it formally into the world.

There is that feeling of illegitimacy to it, isn't there? Like there's nothing separating your work from the werewolf erotica and crackpot medical theories.

Yes, pretty much. If I wanted to self-publish I'd go on wordpress or dare I say it, fanfiction.net.

I will resort to such things if really necessary but barring that and going back to my original question, can anyone tell me of a website or online magazines that act as a hub for fans of this genre? I've googled of course but it doesn't hurt to ask /lit/.

No life stealing, friend.

If you're not writing especially for the mag, forget writing pulp. Start thinking outside the box (meaning: get deep in the box) and submit your weird fiction to small lit mags. Just remember to have a scene where you come to grips with your mental illness/societies cultural imperatives. Just do your best and, remember, no one likes a winner.

>we will only be considering novellas that inhabit worlds that are not modeled on European cultures

Lol they bold it too. That's the single most cucked thing ever.

>post uses the word "cuck" unironically

>>9461686
If I knew, I'd be reading them.

>we will only be considering novellas that inhabit worlds that are not modeled on European cultures

Fucking shit, that's a whole new level of poz I wasn't expecting.

Cuck is a very useful term. I means "willing to pay for the mistakes of others". It aptly describes these white guilt types.

>Wants strange, military age men from a completely different culture and race to flood his country in unlimited numbers
>also supports the dissolution of traditional sexual morality and promotion, or atleast acceptance of promiscuity among the women of his nation
>Wonders why people calls him a cuck.

OP you should write them a polite yet firm letter criticizing their exclusionary policies.

I think "Is too weak to stop people from eating off their plate". Is a better description.

I know, like how could he still use a word after some people said it was bad

>>9462326
How much do you make, and of what quality is it?

>>9462336

About 2/3 of what I did at my job, but that's with two out. With three out it should level out. Might bypass it with four out.

>quality

It's not bad, but I could do with an editor even though I have alpha readers.
