Allasso is a bi-annual online publication dedicated to finding new experiences within anthropomorphic writing and art. Publications will be released as an online journal. Submissions can have humans but must be animal-related. Anthropomorphic and feral creatures are both accepted. A person may enter one submission per category each time submissions open. The different categories are:

Poetry — five (5) poems per submission. No minimum or maximum length. File must be .doc, .docx, or .rtf

Comic — one (1) comic per submission. Maximum 20 pages, no minimum length. Comics must relate to animals or the furry fandom. Send a link, a .zip file, or individual images.

Experimental/Other — one (1) piece per submission. If what you are submitting doesn’t seem to fit into any of the other categories, it can go here. This could include music, video, or something even our editor cannot imagine. Feel free to surprise us.

We will choose one work per category for a $50 cash prize. In addition, we’ll give our favorite of everything a little something special. Prize winners will be announced on November 15, 2011.

We accept previously published pieces, but new work is preferred. If your submission has been published anywhere (including personal blogs or websites), please tell where in the cover letter. Simultaneous submissions are not accepted.

While we accept adult pieces, we will not accept anything that is strictly pornographic.

Submissions for Allasso are currently open until June 30, 2011. Every person who submits will be contacted by August 31, 2011. Allasso vol. 1 will appear in mid- to late-December.
