About

Dimension6 describes the multiverse of all possible people, places and events. Everything that can and will happen takes place in Dimension6. Launched in 2014, Dimension6 features the best new stories from established authors and fresh voices from Australia and overseas. In what may be a first for professionally published Australian speculative fiction, our readers can experience the bold vision of Dimension6 and its authors completely free of charge.

Fiction Closed

What stories are you looking for? Strong, original speculative fiction stories. The type of stories that appear in D6 will evolve with the magazine as genres blend and blur. Word limit is flexible because we’re an e-publication. We have a bias towards science fiction, but we like fantasy too especially if it’s firmly camped outside the standard fantasy tropes. For horror we’re not interested in splatter-filled gore stories. The most effective horror stories are those where you only glimpse the monster.
