Is it a story? Is it a new, previously unseen hybrid, a coyote-dog, laughing, singing, barking, howling hilariously at the amazed confusion that thrills me right now, as I sit here just after finishing Kathleen Ann Goonan's wonderful "Amazing Dancing Chairs"? Tune in next time for more . . . and thanks to you all who brought this chunk of loveliness into my life. Is it an essay? Is it a story?

But bias aside, i know that this story is only a sample of agranoff's literary talent, and creativity. “A fifth noble truth” is great! i personally know the autor, david agranoff, making this story is particularly touching for me.

Mostly I just ask for stories from writers I know. But since you ask... The next issue is coming out in March, 2008, and I will be reading for it starting Jan 15, 2008. If you want to send me something, send it as an RTF formatted attachment to an email saying a bit about what it is and who you are. Generally I prefer that a Flurb story not to be over 5,000 words. And note that I don't actually pay anything for Flurb stories, but you keep all rights. I don’t have the time to process many submissions which is why I haven’t posted contributors guidelines.

I'd like to submit a story, but can't find your contributors guidelines. I've published stories and verse in Analog, Black Gate, and The American Mathematical Monthly.

Those are massive, it takes a long time to load. Perhaps just small ones with links to the full thing? An index that wasn't so long with such a massively large typeface would be handy, too.
