ReplyDeleteCALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS — REMINDER
The response has been strong, and one point needs to be made clear moving forward:
Submissions must be fully edited and properly formatted before submission.
This is a professional publication. Clean work reflects serious intent.
This issue centers on transformation.
At its core, we’re asking:
What happens when identity shifts… and what remains?
Keep your approach focused. Avoid overcomplicating the prompt. Strong, clear storytelling wins.
SIMPLIFIED PROMPT DIRECTION (WITH EXAMPLES)
• Identity Shift
You wake up as someone of a different race, gender, or social class. What changes? What doesn’t?
• Perspective Change
You live one day in a life completely different from yours. What do you learn?
• Power & Privilege
You gain or lose privilege overnight. How does the world respond?
• Instinct vs Humanity
You experience life through pure instinct. What truths surface?
• Truth vs Perception
The world sees you one way, but your reality says otherwise. What breaks?
• Memory & Identity
You carry memory from another culture, species, or lifetime. How does it shape you?
• Core Self
Everything external changes. What part of you remains?
