- Lamination Colony (The intention of Lamination Colony is to published 'fucked up' literature. Everything at Lamination Colony is interesting and high quality. Lamination Colony is sometimes considered an online literature 'institution'. Lamination Colony is edited by Blake Butler who seems pretty cool. The layout of Lamination Colony is 'stunning'.)
- No Posit (Edited by Ken Baumann. Lamination Colony and No Posit are the 'twin pillars' holding up the 'internet lit scene'.)
- Elimae (If you submit work to Elimae, you will get a response within 20 or so hours which is impressive. Elimae publishes emotive and 'experimental' short stories and poems. The look of the site is very simple. Elimae is for people who consider their writing 'serious literature' but do not make a living from their writing. 'Serious amateurs'.)
- Seventy Two Words (Seventy Two Words is a blog where every story is seventy two words long. It has a more specific audienec than Six Sentences [below]. Seventy Two Words is a good way to see a smattering of writing from different writers.)
- Six Sentences (Six Sentences is a blog updated a couple of times a day with six sentence stories. Some of the stories are good and some are bad. Because Six Sentences is a blog, you can comment on the stories. A lot of the comments people leave are highly analytical and try to deconstruct the stories into their 'component syntax' and 'underlying meanings', and I often find I like the comments more interesting than the stories.)
- Dicey Brown (Dicey Brown is not updated very often, but it is always of 'high quality' and has been around since 2002, giving it 'credibility'. Mazie Louise Montgomery edits Dicey Brown and seems nice. If you have earnest-funny-depressed-neutral stories around 500 words, Dicey Brown seems to be a good place to submit to.)
- Bear Parade (If you write funny-depressed-sarcastic-neutral e-books, the best place that you can get them published online is Bear Parade. If you get published in Bear Parade, you know you have 'made it'.)
- Robot Melon (I think Robot Melon was conceived as an alternate version of Bear Parade for poems, short stories, essays, and visual art. So far three issues have been published. It is easier to get published in Robot Melon than Bear Parade. Robot Melon may be considered a 'stepping stone' to getting published in Bear Parade, although so far nobody has 'made the leap', as far as I can tell.)
- Spooky Boyfriend (Spooky Boyfriend is a new poetry journal, only one issue has been published so far. People seem to be liking it on the 'blogosphere'. The poems are quite nice. The poems are not as neutral or ironic as at 3:AM Magazine [below], but they are 'in the same vein' and are written by people who know people who have poems published at 3:AM. There are connections.)
- Paperwall (Samuel Cole edits Paperwall. Every new issue is a single PDF page of poems and stories. It is probably not that difficult to get into Paperwall but there has been some good content. Another plus is that, if you happen to get rejected, Samuel Cole will reject you quickly and will probably be quite nice about it.)
- Bear Creek Feed (I'm not sure if this is still running, but it takes long-form stories around 1500-5000 words. So far it has only published two stories, but I liked both of them a lot.)
- Zafusy (This poetry site is quite pretentious, but sometimes alright if you are in the mood. If you are not in the mood the poems will not make any sense and will make you angry at how stupid people can be. Zafusy says, "We prize syntactical inventiveness for the purposes of heightening emotional or symbolic impact." It probably is fairly difficult to get published at Zafusy, but I doubt anybody reading this blog would want to, except as a joke.)
- 3:AM Magazine Poetry (I only really pay attention to the poetry section of 3:AM. It is edited by Tao Lin I think. All of the poems are good on 3:AM. 3:AM is the 'Bear Parade' of funny-depressed-sarcastic-neutral poetry.)
- Juked (Juked publishes short stories and poetry. Juked has been around since 1999 and is regarded as an internet literature 'touchstone'. Juked does not really publish much funny-depressed-sarcastic-neutral-hipster fiction or poetry. Most of the stories are too serious for me but I have included Juked because it is of 'historical importance'. I don't think anybody who has anything published at Juked knows anybody who has had anything published at 3:AM or Robot Melon.)
