looking at lists of writing submissions and weeping because i can hardly find anything correlated to what i thought were my own niche interests but i did find an "annual anthology of feminist bicycle science fiction" currently seeking "original queer Halloween short fiction (in written or comics form) about bicycling from a feminist perspective" which pays a minimum of $50 per story (link). and if there are several people out there operating on this level of niche who are still managing to find recognition and get paid for it... that gives me a little bit of hope...
#not making fun of them just self-flagellating in a weird way#most writing submissions are so specific about theme its fucking crazy#shit like 'prose about spicy food from a lesbian perspective'#'all poems must relate to the theme of snorkeling in the month of november. female/nonbinary writers preferred.'#why is that#like are the editors just catering to their hyperfixations (this is a rhetorical question i realize as i type this)#but ppl DO submit - so are they all faking enthusiasm/just writing for the money? idk - there are so many ppl with varied interests#writeblr#writing inspiration#writing#writing vent
