^^^WINNER OF THE 2017 POETRY CONTEST

Of course I'm only slightly exaggerating, but this is a big problem with modern day publishing. What are we to do?
>>
Submit to journals and publishers that aren't retarded.
>>
>>9959663
Da fuck are you even talking?
Links or gtfo

>What are we to do?
We flood them with no libtard works
>>
>>9959667
Very rare and hard to find. If you can link me to such examples, please do

>>9959675
Every single outlet on submittable and other major publishing sites

>flood them with no libtard works
As if they would accept them, they want to appeal to the masses
>>
>>9959663
Has it occured to you that people completely different to you are more interesting and novel to read, because you already know about those similar to you?
>>
>>9959828
Are you retarded?

I believe you're missing the point. And no, it's not interesting to read garbage prose poetry about bleeding vaginas and "muh fascist trump" that was typed in 10 minutes. Fuck yourself
>>
no one wants to read your gay fantasy story. stories about trannies are 100% more entertaining.
>>
not OP, but I can confirm. Been writing for 2 years and been researching the market for the past half year, managed to get one story published(I write a lot of short form horror/dark speculative) and 8/10 magazines that pander to my sort of niche have that explicit "we highly encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds black LGBQT etc communities to submit"

I've actually had rejection letters that stated that although they loved my story, they already had an overwhelming amount of submissions and wanted to expand their demographic, and me being a white male seemed to indicate I was prime for the cut list

Examples of mags I have seen this done with-
Apex magazine
Strange horizons
Shimmer
Clarkseworld

Those are four of the biggest pro paying markets I've found that seem to pander exclusively to this, and when I go to read some of their back issues literally every protagonist is either a rugged resourceful woman or some kind of non binary homosexual something or other. Strongly considering pulling a Laird Barron and just making 90% of my characters gay or lesbian and see if this appeases the editors of all these lit mags.
>>
>tfw gay
I don't think my writings are what they're looking for though. Faggotry has somehow sanitised, in spite of its superficially increasing flamboyance. I submitted a story once about my sexual awakening via shit on Wikipedia. Is the world ready for video game animal boners and 8 hour /d/ edging stints? Maupassant wrote stories about fat syphilitic prostitutes and DIY abortions, Leon Bloy about all manners of fucked up shit. The 50s greeted Mishima's fantasies of devouring classmates favourably.
>>
>>9961841
Can you post a link to your published story? I'd be interested to see what kind of garbage do you write, that makes you feel entitled about your work over others', who have had much fewer opportunities to be read.

Never mind, I'm sure they actually love your story and told you to fuck off because they don't want good content. Just like cunts are quick to tell whatever lie comes up first so they can get away from you without you sperging out, and get dicked by someone else instead. Alas, the injustice of our times!
>>
>>9959860
it's not prose poetry, fucking idiot.
>>
>>9962821
Yeah, that's what poetry is today, you obviously haven't had experience publishing poetry or anything for that matter.
>>9961637
I don't write fantasy nor do I write stories
>>9961841
Yeah, it's bleak in my opinion. I recently submitted under a mongolian pseudonym and what do you know, I had a 50% increase in my acceptances!
I want to start my own journal but I lack the resources and skills required. What coding skills would I need to learn?
>>
>>9959663
>slightly exaggerating
your dumb
>>
I visited /mu/ for the first time the other day. They have bad taste in music, but it wasn't overrun by utter fucking drivel.

Lesson: pretending to read makes you pretend to be a wanna-be authoritarian dickhead until you actually become one. Though you never actually read.

Why is this board so fucking brainwashed.

Go to submittable. Go to poetry magazine. Go to the Kenyon Review. You don't have an idea of what you're trying to defend

The liberals are too busy crying about mean words and books :c

Also, OPs thread wasn't crying, it was a valid point and could have been discussed. But as we see, this board is full of dumbasses

Rightfully complaining. I think you're complaining more than he was.
>>9963328
I've been here before you came here from a news article, not sure why you think someone who isn't a gay kike isn't someone who's been on the board long.

>>9963354

Holy fuck why are you so angry about this?
He stated the problem that is modern publishing, not his own work. Why are you on a literature board when you cannot read?
I bet you're a woman.

>I bet you're a woman
wrong again
>>9963366
prove me wrong, id be pleasantly surprised
>>
>>9963364
Who knows if he is right or not because all he has done is 'slightly exaggerate' what modern publishers are accepting. He's just complaining because he's shit.
>>
>>9963374
>>
>>9963348
This is true. If you have to exaggerate to get a point across you're probably bad at writing because you can't think sensibly.
>>
>>9963381
>>
>>9963376
>I'm not angry
You must be.
>patently false
This just shows you have NEVER pubblished anything or tried. I love spotting how lefties defend things they don't know. Also, he never ONCE stated he wrote stories. And if he did, he didn't need to post it, why would he?
>More well read xD
No. I swear to you you're not.

I'm technically LGBT, and I hate this shit. I don't want to put BTW I LOVE COCK in my biography just to increase my publication chances. If the publisher really gives a shit about literature they'll judge it on its own merits.

Not that I would blame a rejection on it, and I have been published, it just feels totally insincere.

Right? But for real. These people have no way of ACTUALLY knowing what you identify as, and since you can have a pen name, it doesn't hurt to just make someone up. As long as they're paying you it's worth a shot. If not it's worth a laugh.
