So, guys, we need your help.

Originally posted by rose_lemberg at So, guys, we need your help.As you know, we are reading for the Queer issue; and we've been reading it while faced with various life challenges. shweta_narayan has been sick, and moving from the US to Scotland; I've been facing various work-related and health-related setbacks.

Some of you asked how you can help, and thank you for that. So.

The inbox... it is not full.

We received much less than our usual amount of submissions, including for other themed issues. What we received is strong, and a joy to read and consider. But purely from the numerical perspective, there is not enough material, and that is a problem.

From the very inception of ST, we worked hard to bring queer content to readers of speculative poetry (and not just through ST). We want this issue, and we want this issue to shine (and there are further secret plans for this issue!)

But we need your help.

How you can help:

1. Send in your work. If you are not sure if it is queer, or queer enough, please just send it.
2. Spread the word. The more people submit, the better the final product shall be.
3. That's all.

Thank you.
