The Fuckening Anthology A project of Sci-Fi Lampoon Magazine Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2021). We provide the following information as an archive. About Because we don’t have enough to do, the SFL team has decided to open submissions to a new stand-alone anthology—The Fuckening. We’ve all seen the memes about “The Fuckening”—when your day is going too well and you don’t trust it and some shit finally goes down. Ah, there it is: The Fuckening. We were inspired by this sentiment and thus have heeded the call to create an anthology that embodies The Fuckening. SFL is looking for funny, speculative fiction short stories and poetry that embody The Fuckening. All stories must be science fiction, fantasy, horror, or a combination of the three. These stories can be witty, goofy, dark, sarcastic…whatever, we don’t care, as long as they are speculative fiction and contain a reference to The Fuckening and maintain a general theme of fuckery (we mean this in the non-pornographic sense). We know that some of you are going to be tempted to shoehorn a reference to The Fuckening into an existing piece; we won’t tell you not to do that. However: please don’t send us something that is obviously not within the theme where you changed two sentences just to get it in on a technicality.
