Selfies from the End of the World A project of Mad Scientist Journal (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About We are looking for stories about the end of the world, in whatever form it takes. These stories will be published in our anthology, Selfies from the End of the World: Historical Accounts of the Apocalypse. The stories must include the following elements: The World Must End: At the very minimum, we’re looking for a catastrophic collapse of human civilization. The end of the world can either take place in the story or, in the case of post-apocalyptic tales, it can take place before the start of your story. It Must Be First Person: There must be a narrator that is telling the story as though they have experienced it. Though we are not requiring it, we would also love stories that feature protagonists or settings that are outside of what we typically see in mainstream fiction.
