###Submissions

Submissions should be related to that broad category of "Weird" fiction--fantastical, speculative, surreal, things that fall through the cracks of categorization. Whether or not a post meets this criterion is subject to mod discretion.
Self-posts are welcome, but should contain more than just a simple question in the title ("DAE like Lovecraft?). Please elaborate with some of your thoughts on the book to get discussion started.
Self promotion should generally be kept to the stickied monthly promotion thread. We make exceptions for users that are active in our community. Other threads will be removed at our discretion. Feel free to message us if you're unsure. If you are seeking criticism, please use r/writing or a similar sub.
Spoiler tags are left to user discretion. If you'd like to mask a potential spoiler, use the following format: [spoiler text here](/spoiler)

###Please do not post

Requests for or links to unauthorized / pirated intellectual property, like books, music, videos, etc.
Memes
Crowdfunding projects (these can be posted as comments in our monthly general discussion threads or our monthly promotion threads)
