Shit Creek Apocalypse,
or,
The End of Days

 

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED
on account of
Days being Ended
and such.


No more submissions now. Time as we know it is over. The canoe has sunk. It is an ex-canoe.
The Editors have ascended into The Rapture. The Apocalypse has well & truly apocalypted.

Thanks to all.

Yours Eschatologically,

The Five Editors of the Apocalypse.

Please be sure to read our submission guidelines. Also see that page if you want to submit artwork or prose.

Submit up to 5 poems using the form below. If the form doesn't work for you, you may submit by regular email, but we would REALLY prefer it if you'd use this form. We review hundreds of poems for each issue, and your using this submission form will save us some administrative tedium.


Your Name:


Your Email Address:
 
Please double-check!

Type your poem(s) in the boxes below, or copy and paste from your Word document or other source. Line and paragraph breaks will be preserved (if not, you can adjust with the Enter/Delete keys) but formatting such as bold and italics is not preserved. You can reapply it in the form, using basic HTML tags; see the formatting notes at the bottom of the page for more details.

Do not insert HTML code for paragraph or line breaks; it should be sufficient to ensure that breaks are visually correct, with a double break where you need an empty line.

See the formatting notes if you are sending text with indented lines.

Translations: For Western languages, include the original text under your translation, in the same box. For other languages, just add a note, e.g. &odq;Translation from the Russian of Anna Akhmatova&cdq; and, if possible, the address of a web page where the original text can be found.

Don't forget to preview your text before submitting!

Robot-guided spammer canoes have occasionally been sighted on the Creek. To help us sink them, be sure to leave the following field empty.

Click the PREVIEW button to see your submission text as it will be received, with layout and formatting. This can be useful to catch errors in spacing, italics etc before you actually submit. The preview text will be shown below.

 



Brief author’s biographical note —
up to about 60 words in third-person style:

(Formatting is available as above.)

  Send me an email message confirming my submission
If you are set up to read formatted (HTML) mail, the message will show your submission exactly as received. If you read mail only in plain text, the confirmation will show the text and line breaks as submitted, but formatting such as italics will be absent and special characters such as quotes and em dashes may not appear correctly even though we received them correctly.

  
 Formatting 

Formatting such as italics and bold text is not preserved when you paste text into this web form.

The text you enter gets processed into a formatted (HTML) email to the Editor. To put a word or phrase in italics, insert <i> before the text and </i> after. To put a word or phrase in bold, insert <b> before the text and </b> after.

Other simple HTML tags are also accepted. (Please don’t copy in complex HTML, especially not the tag soup that Word spits out via its Save As... HTML.) For example, you might want to indent some lines in a poem. Spaces inserted at the beginning of a line with the spacebar or tab key will simply get lost in transmission. If you need an indent do it like this:

While this is just a standard flush-left line,
<font color=white>*****</font>this is a line indented from the left.

(Note: no quotes of any kind around the word white.)

In the email that comes through, it will look like this:

While this is just a standard flush-left line,
***this is a line indented from the left.

You can also use UBB formatting tags and the Preview process converts them to the equivalent HTML tags. Specifically, you can include [i] ..... [/i] for italics, [b] ..... [/b] for bold (though this should rarely be needed), and [color=white] .... [/color] to achieve indents.
