Here's a broken out version of Perdix's announcement for Prototype X, plus some responses to issues that arose during follow ups.
Perdix is soliciting material for a small print-run magazine he is bringing out. The first issue is called Prototype X. He is looking for literary submissions in the following categories:
- fiction (experimental or traditional) (length limit 6000 words)
- flash fiction (up to 1500 words or so),
- verse (traditional or experimental), and potentially
- essays.
For this magazine, Perdix is employing the talents of 2 illustrators, our very own DeeCrowSeer and PsychicWarVeteran. However, Perdix says that if you wish to submit art, he is open to submissions of interesting original art work.
The length limit for prose may be negotiable, especially if you have a long work that can be broken up into installments.
I don't know about a line-limit for verses, but if you've got something fairly long to contribute, you may need to negotiate. (I've found that he's easy on such matters.)
Prose and verse submissions should be in one of the following formats for ease of editing and page layout:
- Microsoft Word
- Plain text ( .txt)
- HTML
- .rtf
- Hard Copy (mailed to Perdix) I think of this as a last resort.
Graphic work should be in .jpeg format. If you use a very restricted palette, perhaps .gif files will work, too. As for .eps format, you should consult with Perdix.
Submission deadline for Prototype X - 1 is 30 April 2005.
Send submissions to Perdix at [email protected] as attachments. You might want to use a subject line like: "Submission: Prototype X" to get his attention. Submissions via postal snail mail should go to the mailing address Perdix shall append to this thread. I gather it'll be a P.O. Box.
There is also a web site at http://www.prototypex.org.uk .
Submission language is primarily English, but work in other European languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, Swedish, Danish, etc) will also be considered.

So I lost a bit of momentum on the PX project, briefly....
). It will be rescheduled at a suitable juncture.
