Long Division: Stories of Social Decay, Societal Collapse, and Bad Manners
Description
We live in divided times. We’re fueled by misinformation. We retreat inside ideological bubbles. We no longer trust each other. We've forgotten what holds us together. We’re more dangerous than ever.
We’re looking for original stories of transgression, of the mechanisms behind what’s fraying the bonds that bind us.
We want to ask readers to consider what’s worth keeping and what requires smashing to bits. Preference for stories that have a speculative element (horror, fantasy, sci-fi), but it is not 100% necessary.

This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
- It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
- The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
- The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
- The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
