Open Call: Fix-up #1: Endings
A “fix-up” is a format commonly used in Science Fiction. It consists of a series of short stories transformed into one novel. To make the novel coherent new connecting material or interstitial texts are added to the storyline. Also, fixing up often means making improvements or repairs to something as well as making arrangements to set something to function in a certain direction.
For the first fix-up published by afloat we are seeking for submissions of texts, images, scans, screenshots, or any other publishable material that delves into the concept of endings. Your stories and fragments will be woven together in a new narrative. Send us texts from 2 to a maximum of 500 words. We will fix them up and publish them in a printed publication.
Please send your endings, dessert recipes, breakup text messages, the last pages of your diary, images of your fossil collection, the last story you wrote, or the expiration date of all your skincare to earthafloat@gmail.com before July 1st.
The end is always the beginning of something else.
