Hello everyone I'm Nathan and like Yogg Satanth I am the gate and the key to the gate

except that instead of bringing the return of the old ones and the crushing of humanity like the irrelevant insects we are, I decide whether

or not your fiction appears on the Drapylcast.

I've been slush wrangling for norms since...

Holy crap, what year is it?

It's 2015.

God, I am old.

This is depressing.

Why did we bring this up?

A while, I have been slushing for a while. Anyway.

Point is, this isn't really a change. My filthy paws have been all over every slush story we've run for years. I just get to send out the actual contracts now instead

of annoying the living hell out of Norm with constant pings and inquiry from authors. I don't

get a jet or anything as far as I know? Norm can we get a jet?

Or like an ermine robe or like a scepter?

I should get a scepter.

I should get something.

Do you know what sort of stuff shows up in the raw slush for

Avaniu that puts strange stories right in the tagline? Yeah, whatever you're imagining

double the number of appendages and add three more types of bodily fluid and it's still probably one of the less upsetting things I've been voluntarily

imagined while looking for good stories for y'all.

So remember everyone, that's submissions at travelcast.org, We take stories up to 4,000 words.

We like them weird and dark and funny and sad, preferably all at once.
