Pen & Paradox

Pen & Paradox are the enigmatic duo who oversee all writing submissions with sharp eyes and boundless creativity. Pen, a meticulous wordsmith, thrives on structure, precision, and the art of perfect prose. Paradox, on the other hand, is a dreamer with a love for twists, contradictions, and the beauty of the unexpected. Together, they balance logic and chaos, guiding writers with their deep love for storytelling. As avid readers, writers, and storytellers themselves, Pen & Paradox are guardians of imagination, ensuring every story finds its voice and every writer is inspired to create their best work.

The Quill’s Honor

The Quill’s Honor is awarded monthly to a writer whose submission embodies outstanding creativity, skill, and passion. This recognition highlights the craft of storytelling and encourages fellow writers to keep pushing the boundaries of their imagination, making every word count. All are welcome to submit!

No AI-Generated Content

Stories that rely too heavily on AI to generate ideas or writing, lacking the personal touch, voice, and authenticity that come from human creativity.

No Plagiarism

Any form of copied or stolen work, whether it’s direct plagiarism or heavily derivative material without proper attribution. Originality is key here.

No Draft-Level Submissions

Submissions that are not fully developed, lacking depth, or seem more like rough drafts than finished works. Submissions should demonstrate care, thoughtfulness, and completion.

Lastest Community Submission: The Forgotten Rebirth

“The sound of the bustling city was a cacophony of life that Fred Willard had grown accustomed to, although he no longer belonged to it in the same way as before.”
