Gay little elves are running through the forest, and they're chanting, "Heil Anon! Heil our victory!" as a large Ent walks through giving the Roman salute.

Depends. Big names in Sci Fi and Fantasy are Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Asimov's, etc.

What did you get accepted to? And if you don't want to be too specific, just name a few places with one being the one you were accepted to.

And if you don't want to do that, what are some smaller names than the ones you just listed?

I've been accepted by small literary magazines which you can find via Duotrope or Submittable. Others include those published by Hippocampus Press. It's up to you what you want to write, so you need to find stuff that aligns with your aesthetics.

Were you paid?

>> No.21941919

>>21941915
No. Only the top magazines pay and I'm not good enough to be a professional writer. I've sent to paying markets and they seem to nitpick enough that I'd never get in. If you want to make money writing, be prepared to be miserable and dread the process. You can really only get paid through Patreon by getting a following on Royal Road, but that's still small pay for how much you work.

My story is about a private military contractor caught up in all the stupidity, incompetence, corruption and immorality you get when dealing with third worldies. Sort of Graham Greene crossed with Empire of Dust, I suspect it would actually pass a sniff test on /pol/ if any of them could be induced to read

One of the genreslop places rather than the more prestigious New Yorker type things. I ain't got no MFA or contacts to get in somewhere like that.
Still counts. Though obviously in my mind I'm more in the Hemmingway/McCarthy/Greene type of genre writing

idc if your story is racist. Skin color is something so small to argue about.

Even if your story is racist, I congrajulate you for at least getting a foot into the writing industy. I hope your endeavours take you further dude.

Where have you been submitting your work and how may I start trying to get my work published?

Kinda like how japanese light novel writers submit their work.

He doesn't write at all. That's why he's on 4chan sneering at "genreslop".
No "literary" magazines, which pay, publish anything except agitprop from trannies and beaners, so he's forced into this little domicile on a blue board.

That's not even on the level of the smaller sci fi/fantasy magazines, and they don't charge submission fees. So, you're basically just publishing in semi-pro or lower markets. Clarkesworld is 12 c per word, as a comparison.

Most literary fiction magazines are based out of Universities, anon. If you read anything outside genreslop, you would know that

No they're not. You need to read independent magazines and indie lit publishers. But you're obviously some baby who hasn't held a job, and only studied, so you think the world is a college. Enjoy your tranny studies, though.

Not very good reading comprehension there. Post your story. I'm sure it's about transitioning and dilating your gaping axe wound.
