Announcing Ventoux Magazine : Anonymous : 50 days ago : No.1538 >>3345
>>1538 (OP) Well, my writing is laughable, but maybe this motivates me to improve. Excited for this!

Petrarchan is one year old today! To celebrate, we are launching an online magazine of arts and literature, and we want your submissions. Ventoux magazine is looking for examples of original work in the following categories for its inaugural issue... > Short Stories > Poetry > Essays and Criticism > Translations > Visual Arts > Letters to the Editor > Classifieds In the spirit of the late, great /lit/ periodical &amp, editorial standards will be loose, so there's no reason not to submit whatever you have kicking around on your hard drive. Submissions can be made to: **[email protected]** Please, no plagiarised work, no AI slop, and try and keep it under 10k words. Other than that, anything goes. There is no official submission deadline, but hopefully within a month or two we will have enough submissions to present you with a delightful premiere issue .

Welcome new visitors and 4chan refugees alike. I'm pleased to say that we've gotten enough subs that I'm confident there will be an Issue 2. So don't worry about missing the cutoff, just SUBMIT!

>>2130 Depends on the language. if I can find someone who reads that language to review it, then yes. Which language is it?
Is it possible to submit in languages other than english? I would like to submit some things, mostly short essays and chapter excerpts from my novel.

>>2132 Ok yeah I might struggle finding a slovenian editor... I guess I could run it through machine translate to check you're not pranking me with slash fiction or something...
>>2136
>>2132 if you have anything that is reasonably short then I'd happily include it. I don't want to give over half the pages of the mag to something that realistically 97% of people won't be able to read, though :)
its slovenian, altough I suppose it could be translated to English before submission; I just think there is already so much lingua franca lit out there it would be a waste of paper to add to that pile.

>>2134 what do you mean by editor exactly? As above you say: >In the spirit of the late, great /lit/ periodical &amp, editorial standards will be loose, so there's no reason not to submit whatever you have kicking around on your hard drive. And no I dont plan to troll you with slash fiction. Yeah I suppose deepl should work fine? Maybe idk. If you need help with editing I could give you a hand; i am not a native english speaker but I do edit an academic magazine here in EU, so I have some experience with this shit.

>>2535 Thanks for the interest, it is named for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascent_of_Mont_Ventoux I know about the other magazine but it's a totally different domain so I'm not concerned by the clash.
>>2556
>>2535 Things took a turn around the time when the editor came back from his post-issue 014 disappearance. But the first fourteen issues had a nice spirit to them, when it was all done via email or /lit/. >>2541 You could upload them to a print-on-demand service like Lulu (or even Amazon; this is what their KDP service is). Some of the old /lit/ collab projects used Lulu, and same for the &amp best-of. The cost is relatively low so long as you opt for black-and-white and keep the margin low/zero. Do you have any mock-ups or examples of pages you'd share?
I'd be interested in contributing, I never read &amp (it seemed to always attract discordfag drama to it) but put a couple poems into the old Lit Quarterly when that existed and I like the idea of these outsider collections. Detroit Lit Mag asked for submissions through /lit/ too and I liked the guy's style, he hand-drew shitty cover art and claimed he would print off each edition and hide them on the shelves of big chain bookstores. Gave it a google though and there is already a French magazine called Ventoux. Did you name it after a mountain?

>>2537 Very interesting. I've only read a handful of Petrarch's sonnets and hadn't heard of this story before. Are you going to set up a site for the mag or base everything out of here? I guess you'd be able to just make it a sticky or a general. Any plans for a physical printing?

We are still looking for classifieds, small ads, capsule reviews, short poems, and other such brief submissions! For anyone who wants to be a part of the magazine but hasn't the time or inclination to write a longer piece, this is your chance.

Can you give a general impression of what the theme of the bulk of issue 1's content is? I have three different ads that might be somewhat relevant.

>>4219 THIS IS WHY i SHOULD'VE SAT ON IT, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING TO ADD! At the very end for ".. shot all over his aluminum bags and drafts, and..." add "said goodnight to his friend." Then forget the best night sleep part, instead: "He slept like an angel." (you know, like what Kagney is). And obviously keep the last sentence. Very sorry for this mess please excuse my disorder
I'd like to be super anonymous so I'll put it here instead of email (the smiley face at the end of the submission is a required part of the submission don't delete plz): Whether fortunate or not a spontaneous event provoked Anon to pull focus from his intense aim to game. He's spent years on years with no break for movies or music solely enamored with playing videogames and gorging on anything that happened to be related whether it'd be obvious soundtracks or even rare slovakian-immigrant bootlegs of figurines. The event was a guy whipped his ass 8 years ago for stinking up the shop and on his way down he remembered the guy calling him a faggot gamer. For 8 years Anon only boiled at the surface of the moment. Fucking violent pieces of shit, everyone that accepts being normal should fucking die! Finally Anon woke up one day, most likely from a delicate, emotional dream where he pouted and looked at that moment differently. Something is wrong with him, something's wrong with him and it's okay to fix himself. He's so attached to games that he didn't do anything extreme but he did start watching real porn so that he could show his friends that he's willing to open up and engage in their interests, that he's not just a stuck up asshole. It worked! He messaged his friend about the pornstar Kagney Linn Karter and how he wants to meet her and stick his cock in her ass for money. He spoke with his friend for hours and told him he's got to wack his cock before bed. Anon laid his garbage bin over his desk, shot all over his aluminum bags and drafts, and had the best night sleep he's had in months. Anon is going to meet Kagney Linn Karter :)
