This listserv provides regular updates on material published on The-Fabulist.org.

The Fabulist is a new home for fables, yarns, tall tales, weird fiction, magic realism, and literary fantasy & science fiction.

Your words, images and other media are welcome. This is a beta site, open to readers and contributors. In particular we seek to free the literature of the fantastic from the burdens of genre. But genre is fine if it’s in service to the telling.

Inspirations: To name just a few … Octavia Butler, Samuel Delany, Lord Dunsany, Harlan Ellison, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Robert Hunter, Ursula LeGuin, Cordwainer Smith, James Tiptree Jr., Roger Zelazny, science fiction’s New Wave, and a universe of folklore and mythology.

Contributions
We welcome contributions of any genre, but especially those that use genre as a starting point. All manner of text, visual and audio media and styles are encouraged. We’re pretty laissez-faire about what goes up, as long as it’s great and falls within the broad range of interests listed above.

Note that this is a volunteer project, done for love, not money.

Regarding editing: We clean up typos and such for anything posted. As a community resource, though, it seems like the goal should be to shoot for a high level of quality but to never meddle. If a story is “in progress,” that’s something for people to talk about, not for an editor to unilaterally “improve.”
