Damn!

The sky is raining popcorn! The carpet’s crying, the parrot won’t speak. Someone must have forgotten to traduce Josef K. This is a mission only a flood of submissions can cure. Go ahead and make us suffer. Extra credit if there are wiggles in there. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

Call out for cover art! Send us something that makes us stare, stare, and ponder, and stare. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

We've been at this for a little more than 15 years, now, as a niche within a niche, and slow going. Perseverence is the key, but we're still a niche within a niche. Please visit us! And we love every submission. gonelawn.net/journal/issue6…

We're bringing back excerpt submissions from unpublished novels and novellas, but adding a criterion: 200 words max length. All other prose, fiction and poetry submissions still have no length limit. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

So! We're very happy with the response to the micro-excerpt call! Some really good stuff you people have been sending us. Keep them coming, please! We've arranged a special issue (#63) to be released 18 January, a dark center of a dark winter month, & bright work emerging.

Hate this sort of thing. Dark times keep getting darker. If you like Gone Lawn and you have the means, consider a donation to keep us going, even something small. Thank you. Upcoming issue is looking good. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_ab…

Blessèd Samhain, everyone! We're still looking for submissions for our micro-excerpt issue, #63. ≤200 words. If you can fit it in that little room, send it along! gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

#62, our cold moon issue, is filled (thank you,all!), and closed to fiction and prose poetry submissions. We are, however, still taking submissions of novel excerpts (≤200 words), cover art and other media. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

We're starting to think it was a bit unfair to reduce your excerpts to a mere 200 words . . . but too late! You must suffer the restriction! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah! Think Oulipo. gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

Recalling, long ago, this editor saying that as an editor he felt he was going to get killed one day. Still don't understand this. We both love our contributors because the vast majority of our contributors are stellar people.

It's very late in a 2025 year, and everything is chaotic and so are nominations, but we're doing it! We're not doing it live. We hope to get a bunch of good people in here, have we said how proud we are of our contributors? Yes, we are. They make us feel all happy inside.

Who's your [least?] favorite straw man?

Heads up! We're back to rolling terms for everything, so send us what you've got for Gone Lawn: fiction (no length limit), prose poetry, novel excerpts (≤200 words), cover art, other media! gonelawn.net/journal/glj_su…

Thanks to Brecht De Poortere (Brecht De Poortere) for another terrific list! We're #22 in the flash category!
