If Found, Return... - Nonfiction (Fiction)



Description
Note: reprints are only permitted if they are not posted on a public platform and they were published more than a year ago.

If Found, Return... is a lit mag for experimental*, ergodic, hypertext, epistolary, interactive, "found," and un- fiction. We are also seeking nonfiction in similarly weird forms, and trailheads.
We want small engines, kinetic novels, gamebooks, baby's first ARG, incoherent rants on the state of analogue horror, fake emails, hypercard, and your house of leaves clone. If it requires some effort to read, we would be happy to consider it. Don’t self-reject; if in doubt, submit.
