  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Want to publish your writing? Read here!

    To all the writers of AO, I recently fumbled across a way for some of you to potentially publish your work (especially poetry) and even get paid in the process. In my efforts mining for academic journals in which to publish my own research, I came across one journal in particular that prefers fiction short stories and poetry. And, if your submitted work is accepted, not only do you keep the copyrights to your material (which is rare), the journal will even pay you a little money if they choose to publish your submission! Journal: North American Review (founded 1815) Potential Payout: $1 per line of poetry; $5 per 350 words of prose. Minimum payment for either genre is $20 with a maximum payout of $100. So if you submit something and are accepted for publication, you can receive upwards of $100 and still keep your own copyrights. (Most journals require you to sign a form which hands over the rights of your submitted work before publication, so that they in fact hold the rights to copy and...

  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: Forum Purpose

    A few members have started different literary projects on the AO message boards. After speaking with one member I decided it would be a decent idea to create an entire subforum devoted to sharing these works. This will allow members to receive feedback from other members and entertain eachother. Not only is this subforum designed for those who want to share original literature, but for those interested in writing and looking for advice or even ideas. A member may have a good idea but doesn't know how to get off the ground. This would be the place to come in order to get suggestions. Though this forum is reserved for fiction writers, we will accept some nonfiction or essays if their purpose is to ask for aid from other writers. Please do not post essays or nonfiction, then follow with a question. Inquire about such works prior to sharing the literature; if there are enough responses to your inquiries, then feel free to post the content. This is not a rule or requirement, just a recommendation....

  1. sea writing

    I always try to journey on the Solstices and Equinoxes, and tend to write as I go along. Often later it reads disjointed (reading it in a different mindset from the mindset with which it was penned) but sometimes I can make sense of some of it with the waking brain. Basically carry on a deep love affair with the ocean. It's really silly, I know, but it is there and only there I feel wholly understood and accepted, and no other being on earth that can evoke within me fully the depths and heights of life. There really is no other lover on earth who I can relate to in such a full, all encompassing way. This is where I feel truly at home. Although there are other places of beauty deep in the mountains, or on an open highland plain, that I have also found what to me is the equivalent of some people's God- as much as I feel love there, there is yet only one true lover for me, and that is the ocean at the tide-line. I feel shy about sharing some of this, and others have to remain secret because it is just...

  3. Wink teacups on the fence

    this is a poem i wrote several years ago. it's a nonsense poem about my brther-in-law's habit of leaving his empty mugs on fenceposts around his property Teacups on the fence As we worked around the place, we'd find them here and there. Some with Santas, some with flowers, one with a teddy bear. The stars and moon shown clear and bright under the lazy summer sun,

  12. Ice

    The summer of 69 had been the turning point in the war, the American public was still in a state of chock from the unexpected Tet offensive, they had been led to believe that the Communists lacked the ability to launch any massive effort. But the reality in and around Hue and Khe Sanh was proof enough to this fact. Nobody really gave a shit who's real estate it was, some Gen. had the bright idea that Khe Sanh would be an effective resource against insurgent activity along the border with Laos, as well as running ReCon flights on Uncle Ho's trail. We had been busy all morning rebuilding LZs for the Marine regiment that was trying to keep route 9 open. The weather was thick, bad enough to make the pages of your Playboy stick together just at the wrong place, and its tough to spank the chimp to some fucked up political article. So the morning sexual frustrations resulted in using charges to clear the parameter tree line, even if a few logs did end up on the mess tent, most everybody pulled up a...

  18. Life Partners

    Amber, it's raining. I want to be outside with you but I can't. I have to wait for you. I have to wait for the one I love. I stare out the window in to the drive way. It seems like forever since you've left. It always feels like forever. A small eternity I've spent waiting for you to come back. Sitting here waiting lets me think and remember. The day we first met. I was so scared but you saw me and smiled. You held me in your arms and kissed me while whispering my name, Shelby. I kissed you back and you laughed. When I moved in with you it was rough at first. You would yell at me. When I messed up you would rub my nose in it. But you still loved me and I loved you Amber. You made me better. My first birthday with you was amazing. You showered me in gifts. You bought me a new bed since my old one was falling apart. You bought me a new outfit that was amazing even though I didn't ask for one. I loved you already and some how I loved you even more.

  19. Flesh Eating

    My sad attempt once again, just got bored and wanted to type. Optical lenses that keeps records of the past, present, and the future, a past of being alone, solitary to take comfort into someone’s home is not tolerable insecurity still lingers although it’s not ashamed to rear its face nevertheless, “ I am bless to say” who to say and why they say I’m allowed to see another day? Love sliding my heart against asphalt ensuring to create beautiful sparks only to be constantly sending many violent rays, slightly burning my book with fabricated carbon she scribbles ferociously, eating at me alive, she vows till the day until we die then I held my head up high, there’s a separation between the moon and the sun I knew love was a lie I’m feeling the need to peel my flesh back safely removing the dissolving arrow that prickled my flesh hoping for the best lest to say she be part of my last Funny comments. ::p:
