Shitpost Shorts BATCH 2
Ends on
What we have presented here are three horribly made covers that you would expect from an over-enthusiastic self-publishing author who insists that their skills with Photoshop are all they need in the world. Well, that and a little bit of written content. Minor. How does this involve you? We need the questionable content to go with them!
Over the next three months, until December 31, we will be taking submissions for novelettes/novellas that use the covers as the prompts. While we anticipate and desire the outrageous, eyebrow-raising chaos that these are sure to prompt, we also want them to be polished. That means put effort into the stories, give them a semblance of making sense, read, reread, and edit.; at the end of this submission period, the best submission for each cover will be fully published — not only will you receive royalties, but you'll also get $25 (because lets face it, the royalties probably won't be huge. These are shitpost covers, after all!).
Now... The Deets.
