drip a literary magazine

About

drip literary magazine is a soft [and cuddly] landing place for the stuff that doesn't fit into neat little boxes. We want weird, we want messy, we want the stuff you wrote drunk at 4am, the stuff you wrote that you can't believe came from you. We want the stuff you've written without boundaries or limitations. We aren't here to argue about the differences between dragons and dinosaurs, we just want interesting stories. We love an ambiguous ending, we love an anti-hero.
