I read "I'm in Love with My Ex's Absence." I thought it was an odd piece of writing because initially, I assumed that "Space" was a metaphor for healing or something, but then I got very confused when the narrator introduced them to their friends.

I read "The family game I never wanted to win" by Laird Barron. Before the piece began a different writer gave a bit of background on the piece which I thought was interesting. The way they described it was taking something more relaxing or "good" and giving it a more sinister feeling. From what I read the piece itself was interesting, the dad seems to compare normal everyday things to like how predatory species act which is kind of weird but I think the purpose of the piece was to be weird, overall I thought it was interesting and longer than expected.-Miyori

This story is about how the character goes through a heart break. How their lover left and took a part of them along. That there was a space left for them to deal with. However they began to become comfortable in the space and became to like the space. By the end of the story the lover wanted to talk and space wanted space. This story was weird to me but in a sense I kinda understand. He became in love with the space between him and his lover. It was a coping mechanism for him to get over his ex and now that they appeared again that space was being filled. It wasn't needed anymore and he all missed the space that he had.. kayla

Literary magazines are great starting points for writers looking to gain a decent following, but due to how small the literary magazine world is, literary magazine publication alone wouldn't be enough to lead into popularity.
