HAD About We had an idea for a journal that started as something of a joke... until it became a real thing. We had such a love for those early, minimalist web journals (elimae, McSweeney's, eyeshot, Surgery of Modern Warfare...) and so thought we would nod back toward them. If submissions are open, we've probably had a couple drinks. We're HAD. Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.
