moocat.net: Comedy Writing Gold Star Program Gold Star Free

Moocat.net publishes new comic voices, light, medium, and dark (although subject to some judgment on content). Self-effacing humor is always welcome, as are parody and satire. The general voice of the magazine is gentle, but comedy is free to be "adult," so long as it's funny.

Work with strong adult language may feature an "Adult Content Advisory," just to protect the kids out there from too much darkness, but the advisory message disappears for readers permanently once acknowledged.

Length

If your piece is rather conventional satire or parody, it may fit better in the Essays category. Material submitted for the Comedy section can be from 500 to 2,000 words long. It can be words, video, art, or a mix of any of those. Especially interested in:

• Cartooning, which may appear in either this section or Art, depending on the nature of the work.
• RADIO COMEDY (audio only). Nuff said.
