We are always looking for art, photography, creative writing, roleplaying stories, interesting locations, science fiction events, and more!

handy participation form to let us know! If you have any questions, you can IM tara.milneaux in-world or email tara@brightmetallic.com!

We will be accepting submissions for these issues until the deadline on: July 22, 2016

Because of the summer season here in the northern hemisphere, and our staff needing a well-deserved vacation, we will be taking a pseudo-hiatus for the months of June and July and releasing a double issue in August. You can still send submissions as usual during this time, and we will still be responsive.
