No idea why you hate reddit so much. Did it hurt your feelings?

Re: The Lounge
nah man i just think it's wrong because
if someone says something it should be heard, even if people don't approve of it. it's how a lot of work's been done over the years. 4chan gives me what I want.
an uncensored environment filled with ♥♥♥holes like me who get to the ♥♥♥♥ point with the occasional burn so bad, you have to call a ward for someone across the country.

Hey guys, my health is slowly (quickly?) declining due to heart issues and possibly other things. I have a doctor's appointment on the 27th of August, seems kinda far away.
If I suddenly stop frequently logging in, it's either because I'm moving to college, my computer spontaneously exploded, I was abducted, or I'm having medical issues.

Good luck! If you're gone for awhile, I'll take over your character in Tiny Gods, so that's something you needn't worry about.
Anyway, in lighter hearted news, I was looking for new short story publishing possibilities, and I can't help but laugh at some I found.

Fantastically Horny – An anthology of SF&F Erotica What we want – Stories that have an appreciable Science Fiction or Fantasy element but are very definitely Erotica. Show us aliens, sentient plants, elves, dragons, magic, rocket ships, but show us them having sex… What we don’t want – Stories that could be submitted for the bad sex awards, horror, badly written stories… Word Limit: poetry/flash fiction up to 1000 words; short stories 2000-5000 words. Compensation: contributor e-copy, discount on physical copy & share of Royalties
Rocket ships having sex with...dragons?
If there's one thing I promised myself never to write, it's standalone erotica and this...bloody hell it looks like a highway towards the WTF Awards. I could certainly write it, but...yikes. Vanilla human on human is one thing, starships on sentient plants is another entirely and completely insane.

The theme for Fossil Lake III: UNICORNADO! will be unicorns and/or natural disasters … preferably both! We want gothy unicorns, metal unicorns, uniporn, pretty princess unicorns, whatever! We want thunder and lightning and devastating rainbows, we want quakes and storms, cyclones, tsunamis, avalanches of glitter! We want majestic herds of unicorns galloping out of the clouds, wreaking havoc with their jabby horns. Violence, carnage, and gore. Candylandslides. Thinly-disguised ponyfics. The weirder the better. Go wild. Have fun. Submission Period: July 22, 2015 — August 22, 2015 Word Limit: poetry/flash fiction up to 1000 words; short stories 2000-5000 words. Compensation: contributor copy, $5.00 for poetry/flash; $10.00 for short stories.
Goth unicorns? Uniporn?
I think this kind of insanity speaks for itself...still, I never refuse a challenge...
This is something I should have never wrote:
Sparklehorn the Bloodthirsty rushed forth at a thunderous gallop, leading the charge against the last of the once mighty human military. Their gunfire bounced off of her bubblegum pink hide as harmless as the raindrops pouring down upon them all, the sparks only half as bright as the flashes of nuclear fire that stretched towards the horizon like a field of wildflowers blooming in springtime. Screams of the dead and the dying echoed all around her as the invincible Glitterguard followed her into the breach, skewering any who were brave or foolish enough to stand before them upon their horns and trampling the rest into the blood soaked ground beneath their shining hooves, stampeding across hastily placed minefields, through rows of razorwire and smashing through barricades of reinforced concrete two feet thick. A maelstrom of glittery dust followed them, a rainbow of death swirling all around them with such speed and such force as to scour flesh from bone, ripping through the hardest of steels as if it were mere cotton candy.
A human, dressed in bloodstained clothes, rushed at her with a dynamite vest wrapped all around him and a detonator in hand, roaring in defiance, but it only took a single strike of her bloody hooves to send him reeling, his skull exploding in a shower of blood and bone and brain. The Glitterguard massacred the few defenders who hadn't ran for their lives, but death was coming for them, too, waiting for them behind every corner, inside every ditch, through every door. With her conquest complete, she ascended the steps of the white building, easily making her way through the last of the barricades and stopping only as her most trusted general, Butterfun, came to report.
The yellow unicorn bowed before her respectfully, her brightly colored hair dotted with smiling and happy suns surrounded by the skulls of the countless millions who had met their end in battle against her.
"My queen, the human realms lie defeated," she began with a voice filled with only the highest respect, "What shall our armies do now?"
"Put the humans to work in the glitter mines," Sparklehorn answered with a high and musical tone. "Now, there is one final matter I must attend to."
She kicked down a small wooden door in front of her, smiling as she heard the leader of the most powerful nation on "Earth" burst into tears. She strode inside, Butterfun at her flank, listening to the President of the United States as he cowered beneath his table, rocking himself and muttering silent prayers to a god who could not help him even if he did exist. She stabbed through the table and threw it to the side, then stared with a piercing gaze at the cowardly man before her.
"Wh...what do you want from us!" he shouted between his tears.
"Give me the sugarcubes!"
...and that's why you shouldn't drink and write, kids :p

Untethered: A Magic iPhone Anthology Edited by Janine A. Southard Submissions due: October 1, 2015. iPhones are magic. I mean, do you know how yours works? Could you take it apart and put it back together? We can’t go out without our smartphones. They organize our lives, find our locations, and sync with all our other tech. We sleep with them beside our pillows. Yet… their workings are a mystery. What does “magic iPhone” mean to you? Consider the supervillain who mind-controls a city’s populace, or the employee who stamps the runes that make your iPhone 8s so lightweight. This anthology is based on the success of anthology editor Janine A. Southard’s recent novel, Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story, which stars an explicitly magical iPhone (found by story gamers in modern-day Seattle). That iPhone comes pre-loaded with a romance finder app of dubious morality that not only sends its users on terrible dates, but also sucks their life forces. Editor’s Note: I’m looking for stories that cleverly incorporate the idea of a “magic iPhone” into any setting you like. I will, of course, be psyched to read variations on my crazy romance app, but I’m also excited to read something totally different. I’m accepting all genres except straight-up erotica or hard-core horror. (We’re aiming this anthology at general audiences, after all.) I think the idea lends itself well to comedy and dark fantasy, but… I guess that was obvious already.
This one pays a hundred dollars for something I could probably throw together in an afternoon, so I might actually do it :p
