Alternate Hilarities 4: Weirder Science A project of Strange Musings Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About I don't want to lock anyone down as to what I am looking for but you need to have two things for sure, Science Fiction and Humor. I will not consider Fantasy or Horror. It needs to be funny all the way through. If it is just a lead up to a punch line, make it short. I'm not 100% sold on the sub-title, Weirder Science, so let's see if you can do better. I challenge everyone that submits to send in a new sub-title name you think is better or just agree with me that Weirder Science works.
