The Anarchist Writers Bloc is seeking stories for our next anthology of anarchist short fiction. What is an anarchist short story? For this anthology “short stories” are unpublished fiction pieces between 500 and 3,000 words.
What makes a story “anarchist”? This is a question that has come up a few times in discussions. We have no definitive answer. And, of course, we never will. Anarchism has many tendencies (some of which are so completely at variance with the generally-accepted fundamentals that they do not seem to stem from the same philosophical base; for example, the anarcho-anomaly of so-called “anarcho-capitalism,” which is nothing more than capitalism shape-shifting badly.) Wikipedia has a pretty good article on the varieties of anarchist thought.
Soooooooo...Looking forward to reading some great stories. The following is the AWB's official call for submissions.
