UpRightDown invites anybody who can tell a story, in whatever medium, to submit: writers, painters, photographers, singers, composers, actors, storytellers, hypertexters, animators, moviemakers, et cetera. We are craving to publish, not only written work, but videos, cartoons, comic strips, and anything else than can be displayed in a browser.
ROLLING SUBMISSIONS
We are still accepting submissions for URD # 1. We'll be adding new work as it comes, so there is no real deadline for any issue--until we decide to put it in the archive and move on to a new plot, a new issue.
A FEW RULES
VARIATION: Participants do not invent their own stories; they retell the one which is given. You may not deviate from the common plot: that's the story you must tell, without (substantially) adding to it or subtracting from it. Of course the characters will have thoughts, and these thoughts may form their own sub-stories; and of course every participant will add this or that detail not accounted for in the common plot; but the main action of your story, the substance of it, must remain as given.
NAMES AND TITLE: You may name the story and your characters as you please.
LENGTH: Writers, please limit your story to 1000 words. In general, the shorter (and crazier) the better. Brevity: wit's soul.
