#open for submission

[writeblrcafe]

Webzine submissions open for writing!

Dear writers on tumblr, pour yourself a drink on the house. We've been asking for editors for our webzine in the last few weeks (you can still sign up here). We are focusing on going into different worlds. Now, we can announce that we are accepting writing submissions for it!

Who can submit writing?

All writers can submit writing to our zine, whether you have already published other works. Or have previously shared other writing pieces on [tumblr] or Archive of our own (or similar platforms). Our editors will pick their favourite pieces for each category based on different criteria, the most important thing is how well the pieces fit our theme Portal to Another World.

What kind of writing can I submit?

We are open to any form of writing! You can submit any form of writing from poetry, prose, flash fiction, a short story, song lyrics or even a non-fiction essay. As long as it fits the theme and is unpublished. Our theme is Portal to Another World. Unpublished in this case means it isn't published in print or online. You can't submit excerpts from your WIPs when they can't be understood outside the context of your WIP.

Will you compensate me?

As much as we would love to pay all contributors, we don't have the funds. We discussed this on our server and decided we want our zine accessible to all readers. Understand this is a passion project, so you will not be compensated for your writing. The finished zine will be shared as a free PDF download with a pay-what-you-want option on our KoFi. The little money we make from the zine will be used to fund future projects of writeblrcafé (e.g. a second zine) and boosts for our Discord server.

Where can I submit my writing?

Just fill in the form below! You can submit your writing as a PDF file. The word limit for prose is 2500 words. The limit for poetry is 50 verses. You can only submit one piece of writing. If your piece of writing is longer, feel free to submit it. We will decide on a case-to-case basis. We hope many of you take this chance to collaborate on our webzine, which will be compiled in a compelling design.

Submissions for artwork will open soon!

Please reblog this post to spread the word in the writing community!

You put yourself in front of Natalie, taking your own life to save hers

SUBMISSION: Wait are you down to do poly Lottienat with reader instead ( spoiler for finale ) of nat getting killer it’s the reader I need angst rn 💔

It all happened so fast. Shauna running, the rest running after her. Callie coming out of the forest with that gun, the girl Nat had grown so attached to threatening to kill Callie on Lottie's behalf, and Misty. Misty with that fucking injection.

Natalie tried to throw herself in front of Misty, but there was no way. Her life had just begun to go up-hill for the first time. You took Natalie's place. The needle dug deep into your neck, the fluid stinging the muscle it had penetrated. Everyone was screaming. Not you. It couldn't be you. Natalie and Lottie surrounded you, you couldn't hear them, but they were screaming, shaking you, trying to keep you earthbound as long as possible.

This was okay, you had decided. Nat and Lottie would have each other, and maybe, just maybe, if the wilderness truly did want someone...it would have taken you.

***

You hadn't expected to wind up in this position with Nat and Lottie. It sort of just happened to you, the way so many things seemed to just happen to you. The three of you reunited once again, far away from everything that was supposed to be real, but this was the most real you had felt in twenty five years.

In bed with them, naked and tangled in bodies, skin on skin, sweaty sheets and the room smelling of sex. For the first time, you weren't analyzing this. Did it make sense? Probably, yes. Being in an almost all female cult as teens was incredibly homoerotic, and you weren't fooling anyone by pretending it didn't almost happen several times back then.

You brushed hair out of your face, stretching your back, letting out a little sigh. "It's sunrise."

"How long did that go on for?" Natalie muttered, seemingly out of it, like she had been in a daze for several hours.

Lottie giggled. "Hours, Nat. Hours, and hours."

"Jesus." She groaned, rolling over onto her side, facing you and Lottie. "I'm not even tired." She trailed her fingers over your stomach.

You smiled at the sensation. Lottie sat up, running a hand through your hair.

You were the youngest of the group, a year younger than the rest of them, and you were always considered 'the baby.' They took care of you, and put you first no matter what. That translated over into whatever this budding relationship was.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" Lottie asked sweetly.

"Honestly? I'm great. Just really hungry." You grinned up at her.

"I'll go get you something." Natalie offered.

***

Natalie cradled you in her arms, screaming your name. You'd already passed. EMS was trying to take you away, but she wouldn't let them near you.

"How could we let this happen?" She sobbed. "We were supposed to protect her."

Everyone was heartbroken. Pacing, rocking back and forth on the ground, crying. You meant so much to this group of women, and now you were gone.

Lottie kissed your forehead, weeping. "Nat, we have to let her go."

"No." She yelled.

"Nat. She's dead." Van whispered. "You have to let her go."

Lottie grabbed Natalie so that the EMS workers could take your body away. She screamed, punched, fought, but eventually relaxed into Lottie's embrace.

Urgent: Help Us Not Get Screwed

Anyone who follows us has seen us screaming from the hill-tops about our current crowdfunding campaign for Aether Beyond the Binary (17 aetherpunk stories! Outside the gender binary main characters!). We've only got 50 hours left...and we just got screwed.

Our Anthology Kickstarter is being scammed.

About two hours ago, with us still roughly $1,500 from our goal, we got a junk pledge for almost $2,000. This pushed us into being marked as "funded" but there is zero chance it's a real pledge, it's from a shell account marked as being in Turkey. This kind of money doesn't just fall like a miracle into the laps of small business like ours.

The timing on this attack is devastating. The final 48 hours of a campaign are absolutely critical, especially for one as close to meeting our goal as we are. We were very likely to hit our target, but doing so was going to require appeals to y'all that started with "hey, we're so close, please help spread the word." Further, the campaign has hundreds of followers who will get a notification at the 48 hour mark, and many who might have backed to help get us to the finish line will now think "oh, they're there, they don't need me," and not back. Meanwhile, one of two things will happen with the spam pledge: either it will get removed by Kickstarter, which could take hours or a day+, totally nuking us during this crucial window, or it won't get removed until the payment bounces post-campaign, at which point we won't actually have enough money to do fulfillment.

Either way, we are fucked.

Please, please don't let these dipshits ruin the love and passion that 30+ people have poured into this project for over a year.

Our campaign IS NOT FUNDED, and it won't be without help. I'm begging, help spread the word about how we're getting screwed, and help spread the word about Aether Beyond the Binary (visit the link for so much info!) so that we can get enough real pledges to fund this project we've poured our hearts and souls into.

SUPPORT THE QUEER ANTHOLOGY KICKSTARTER FOR AETHER BEYOND THE BINARY (with your pledges or with signal boosts!)

#unforth rambles #like seriously guys i feel sick #this is a disaster #and the absolute earliest KS can do anything about it is in another 2 hours when their offices open #but it will probably take longer #someone else i know running a campaign right now it took 24 plus hours to get rid of an $8k spam pledge on their campaign #we WILL NOT FUND if it takes that long #in my submission to KS support I've begged them to give us another day #but even that's only a stop-gap because we've been advertising as ending tomorrow #there's no fixing this #i'm so upset i'm nauseous

My mother happened upon this uniquely spherical cat at a thrift store in Texas and felt compelled to purchase it despite not wanting to keep it herself and at Christmas offered/pled for one of us to take it home. Alas no one would adopt the poor creature so I, being a plushie collector, took it with me. It is currently living in and guarding my car.

[poetrysmackdown]

once this is done i think i'll need a serious break lol but i would like to do a sequel in a few months if anyone's interested. my vision for it though is specifically poems that aren't big on tumblr. i'm sincerely really glad that so many people are enjoying and learning from exposure to the poems in this bracket but i think now that i know there's such a demand, we need a little more complexity in the future haha

i've said it to folks elsewhere but this was never going to be a bracket where like an osip mandelstam or an aime cesaire could compete. this was always going to be a bracket for emotionally-charged tumblrina poems. that was by design, bc i think it's fun that tumblr has such a distinct poetic register! sure not every poem in this bracket is to my taste, but i'm also not someone who undercuts the value of a poem just because it's popular. things are generally popular for a reason. i'd just want to branch out in the future. not that i have an incredible amount of faith in the reading comprehension of the general tumblr population either way but it's worth a shot LOL

#not a poll #it will also ofc be open to submissions #but not right now though. lmao

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the Giant Isopod (Bathynomus Giganteus):

1/10 Chunk

4/10 Funk

0-1/10 Gunk

Giant isopod!! These guys are almost all exoskeleton, so normally I would give them 0 chunk. However, they are round and kind of chunky and I am biased (*´-`) Giant isopods aren’t the most unique in their appearance. They look just like regular isopods. BUT, they are gigundamundus and for that, they earn moderate funk. And last but not least, I couldn’t find anything about them secreting slime or mucous so I’m left to assume that if they have any, it is very little to none. Low gunk.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

I like bugs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really though, I love isopods!! When I learned that there was one that was around 16in (~41cm) I was so excited!! These guys are also important to me because my older sister ADORES them. She’s sketched out an entire pattern for a giant isopod plushie at least 7 times within the past 3 years.

I also really like when creatures at the bottom of the ocean get really big. Ocean Gigantification, I think it’s called? I think it’s funny. Lil bug become BEEG BUG!

Quick apology to the user that submitted this in April 2023, I’m sorry for making you wait so long–

I finally got around to drawing Lan Wunian and Xiao Pingguo! I hope you like them 😊

WOAH!!! This is so stunning! I'm truly speechless, thank you!

#submission #fanart #equineswap AU #lan wunian #xiao pingguo #Your art is beautiful! Thank you a million times over for this! #Thank you for also giving me a chance to draw them again. I miss our equine girls everyday. #I put your art in their enclosure and they said they liked it a lot. They also said I really should let them out more. #They started digging a little tunnel under a pile of hay. I think they might escape containment if I leave them alone too long. #The girls long for the open fields...as all women do. #If she's not looking out into the wild yonder with a deep longing in her eyes...is she really your girl?

#Mailroom Open!　──　hey my darling <3 letter delivery for kaeya and i’d love to have a yandere w/nsfw reply back! any petnames are good with me, i promise <3 letter below the pink!

“To my dearest, Kaeya,

It’s almost shameful how you have me wrapped around my finger. There’s only so much a man can do when you fill my mind, and even in work, I can’t help but imagine what you’d be doing, how you’d let me shower you with all the affection such a jewel like yourself deserves. A day spent without you feels sacrilegious nowadays with how you’ve carved your place into it.

How are you faring back in Mondstadt? It must be a chore with so little to do without me there with you, but I know the wine will always be sweet and the flowers always in their lively beauty (though it can’t compare to yours, I’m sure.) I hope you’ve kept an eye on Diluc: you know how he works himself, so have him take it easy every now and then. He runs the tavern you love so much, after all.

I can’t see you soon enough. May the gods bless me so that I can be back home sooner than I know.

— Your love”

( in a box containing the letter, there’s a bottle of regional wine intricately wrapped with a gold bow, alongside a bouquet and a lace choker. you know i had to do it <3 )

꩜ Letter Content: Dom! GN! Reader x Yan! Subby! Kaeya, no gendered terms for reader, Kaeya calls you "my heart", mentions of alcohol, mentions of blood, unhealthy and obsessive relationship from Kaeya, lmk if I missed out anything ! ꩜ Delivery Notes: Phew! He sure replied fast, it's almost as if he knew you were sending a letter to him! :3c Anyways, I wonder what he replied with? ꩜ Wanna write a love letter yourself? Check out it out here!

In return, Kaeya sends back a box as well, no bigger than the envelope stuck to the top of it. The deep royal blue envelope’s material is glossy and pearlescent, holding it under the moonlight produces a faint shimmer, one that reminds you of his eye.

Upon opening the letter, your senses are greeted by the waft of Kaeya’s perfume, the same one you gifted to him months back when you returned to Mondstadt from yet another arduous work trip. Eyes scanning over the contents of his reply, the words are written in outstanding but legible cursive, impressive penmanship (tsk, always a showoff). His love letter reads:

“Addressed to my one and only,

Much thanks for the presents, my heart. You truly know my tastes, the wine was magnificent and went down smooth, almost impeccable. The only thing that could improve it was if you were there as well. I do so dreadfully miss you too, I find myself sighing whenever I reach out for your hand only to remember you’re away in Fontaine for work. Are you sure I can’t convince you to leave your job? I could take care of you, you’d never find yourself needing anything, other than me, of course.

I digress. Back to the subject at hand, Mondstadt is, well, the same as always. Nothing much to report about. My days are immensely duller without you around, obviously. Diluc’s still not much fun to be around but I suppose he’s been well, so no need for you to… (There’s some words scribbled out here with a squiggly doodled arrow pointing to it, saying “Ignore this! :)”) fret over him at all.

It’s just that… I can’t bear to be away from you, my heart. You say I have you wrapped around my finger but it seems to be the opposite. Since you entered my life, it was as if you were Orpheus: coming to rescue me, but unlike the tragedy, I won’t lose you, and you won’t lose me. Not even the gods above could keep me from you. Not one moment does my mind stray from the thought of you and how I need you close by and the way I can’t bear to… (The words are scribbled out again, this time it’s messier, shaky lines uncharacteristic of his usual neat strokes. Another squiggly arrow points to the dark mass of ink, saying “Ignore this too! :)”)

All I want to say is, we are much closer than you might think, my heart. I’ll keep this short, I’d hate for you to bore of me.

Counting down the days till we truly meet again,

- Kaeya Alberich -

P.S. I have a picture in the box reserved for your eyes only, enjoy ♡”

Removing the lid of the box, a vial on a gold chain catches your eye, it glistens, almost as if beckoning you to wear it immediately. Its contents are a deep red and swishing it around reveals how it clings to the sides of the bottle. Not wine then. There’s a tag hanging from a ribbon tied around the clasp, in Kaeya’s signature handwriting it reads, “So I’ll always be around my heart.” Flipping it around, there’s 2 reddish-brown thumbprints on the back, stamped so that it looks like a heart. 

After putting the accessory on, you move on to pull out a smooth card stock from the bottom of the box. How scandalous. The cavalry captain is shown, knees tucked under him on the bed as he’s clad in lacy white lingerie, hands on the sheets in front of him as his arms push his tits up to accentuate them. A white garter belt wraps around his thigh and fuck, the tip of his cock is peeking out of the sheer ivory fabric, precum already drooling from his slit. The bouquet you gifted him is in the shot as well but what really draws your attention are the dribbles of wine cascading from down his lips to his chest, staining some of the white lace a deep crimson. To top it all off, he’s wearing the lace choker you sent him, how obedient!

However, the more you look at the photograph, the more off putting the atmosphere becomes. The background looks suspiciously like the rooms of the hotel you’re currently staying at. The lighting is the same hue. The furniture matches up too. Everything is strikingly similar, right down to the carpeting. Squinting, you can just about make out the room number on the keys captured in the shot.

It’s the room next door.

Thanks for reading! Consider supporting me on kofi if you enjoyed this or check out my other works hehe ♡
