Submissions for
The Future Hygienic
Adopting the rhetoric of news media and academia, we want reports on the imaginary, the made-up, the falsified and absurd. Deliver us fakery, disinformation, falsifications, lies. We want mixed-up sciences, irregular inventions, backward ideas, and implausible theories*.
We are now accepting lies disguised as truth: prose, poetry, essays, journalism, spam, illustrations, photographs, collages, maps, and diagrams** concerning animals, diseases, medicines, cures, inventions, contraptions, artistic movements, authors, politicians, geographies, wars, revolutions, discoveries, ecological disasters, plagues, revolts, political coupes, communes, philosophers, ethnic groups, space explorations, and so on.
*If you made it up, we want it. If it sounds like it is made up but in fact it is true, then we would still like to hear about it.
**We are thinking John Hodgeman, Rube Goldberg, Ben Marcus, George Saunders, David Ohle, Matthew Derby, Douglas Adams, Vonnegut-Vonnegut-Vonnegut, Donald Barthelme, Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, Pataphysics, Church of the SubGenius, Pseudoscience, and Disinformation.
Submission deadline: July 25th, 2008
Send submission by email, as attachments, .doc or .pdf, to:

Ideas are brewing, plans are being typed. We’ve got a thousand children with a thousand pencils vigorously working on their cursive. Once they’ve completed the proper testing and meet our standardized criteria, we’ll put them to work on brainstorming some beautifully written project proposals. We like you. We’re excited to see what you do.
If you do something that you really like, and you’d really like us to see it, send us a query letter describing what it is and why. We’ll consider your questions over chicken hot-pots, then get back to you.
We’re not currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts for anything other than The Future Hygienic, as we have only six eyes and three dollars a day for coffee. Also, our ocular jaundice is no longer docile.
