Upcoming Themes

Here is a list of themes for upcoming issues. Please read our guidelines before you submit.

EUREKA! & OOPS!

Accepting Submissions until August 10

September 2010 – Life is a series of discoveries and mistakes, success and failure. But we don’t use exclamation marks lightly – theses are impassioned expressions. Highs and Lows.  Great accomplishments, achieved. Goals, sough and missed.

OIL & WATERCOLOURS –  EXTENDING DEADLINE

Accepting Submissions

October 2010 – A painter’s pallet is not the only application we’re looking for, nor are we specifically interested in things that don’t mix. Is it the colors that draw you in? Or the act of making meanings out of them?

New HEROES & VILLAINS

Accepting Submissions

November 2010 – Is a villain a malicious person devoted to wickedness? Or is she just misunderstood? Are you sick of the hero’s holier-than-thou attitude, or are you truly grateful for his intervention? Is she a Black Widow or a goddess? Is he Superman or a super-sham? In the end – who do you want to win: the Hero or the Villain?

New TRADITIONS & CELEBRATIONS

Accepting Submissions until October 15

December 2010 - You fast in Ramadan. Or maybe you eat turkey in October (or November – whatever). Some eat unleavened bread in Nisan. And others go vegan for the first full moon of Taurus. Maybe for you, the best day of the year includes trick-or-treating or fireworks. For some these times are sacred, for others it’s just a day of fun. And no matter when we ring in the New Year, we all have traditions and we all celebrate. What defines our differences can also be the source of our similarities.

If you have a suggestion for a split-theme please leave us a message or email us   editors@theglasscoin.com

I really like what you have to say about starting a zine, the passion, the thanklessness, the open-mindedness to genre. This site looks fab and I hope to read some equally fab stuff here soon.
