Do not submit here! This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.
About
All submissions must take place in the fictional town of New Bedlam. There is no specific geographical location for New Bedlam, other than north of Missouri, east of Utah, south of Nunavut and west of Kentucky. All writers are expected to refrain from giving any specific location. Two maps of New Bedlam will be provided on-site. When describing New Bedlam (if necessary) in your story, please refer to the map that fits your timeframe. Stories and poetry can take place in any timeframe, although be forewarned, we'll expect steampunk to be Victorian, and sci-fi to be somewhat futuristic (current science to future sci-fi).
Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. Look for the fees icon.
