Hi everyone! With the great success of Tales Volume 1, we have decided to continue on and go for Tales Volume 2. This thread serves as our official call for submissions.
>What is Tales?
Tales of the Unreal is a periodically published book series taking inspiration from pulp magazines such as Weird Tales. We pick 12 to 15 of the best subs, put them into a book, and publish it with a book cover and style that emulates the pulp magazines of old.
>What we want
The horrible, the unknowable, the weird! We want your horror or weird fiction short story. Somewhere in the realm of 2 - 5000 words, but if you need a little more room, if the story is exceptional it will still be considered!
>When do we want it?
Submissions are open YEAR ROUND. This is just a dedicated call for Tales 2, with a close date of August 1ST AT 11:59pm EST.
>Where do I submit?
Please email your submission to [email protected] in any format of your choosing. We do light editing for formatting and spelling only, and otherwise keep the entire intent of the author.
Please include with your submission the name you would wish to be published under.
You can also query that email for any questions you may have.
>Where can I find Tales 1?

kewl. Good job, guys.
Frick off back to troonycord.
inshallah all the troon tourists making/posting in these threads will hang themselves soon
Remember when Unreal Press doxxed and harrassed multiple Unreal and & contributors over some petty Discord drama? Don’t trust them. Send your work elsewhere.
I don't. Tell us the tale, please. Where can I read up on it?
That’s all the threads were for months. Petty bickering and drama
I'm rarely online, so I missed it. I might search the archives for a few keywords.
I'm allergic to doxxing, so I probably won't bother with a submission.
Look at any of the & or tales of the unreal threads for like the last 3-4 months
We're probably all aware at this point, but it never hurts to have a quick reminder: it is not necessary to respond to anons who are clearly just looking to stir up drama unrelated to content and quality of Tales of the Unreal, or &, or Frank Gardner, or Miles or Zulu or Ogden. It's incredibly obvious to everyone that the drama is all being manufactured by one anon for his own amusement, so you don't need to point it out to anyone. It's pathetic e-drama, no one is genuinely curious about what might be happening, so if anyone asks for more information you can be positive they're just hoping you'll say something that will trigger a response from someone else. Multiple anons have come forward to say they have no idea what any of this shit is about, they just know they can type of a combination of "dox" "unreal" "drama" "ari" and/or "discord" and they will get guaranteed responses.
You don't need to respond to this post, either. If you'd like to see a day wherein anons can come together and try to entertain other anons without a bunch of petty name/samegayging e-drama, then you need only stop giving them attention. Any attempt to defend your motivations, set the record straight, or clear the air will be met with willful ignorance and bold unfounded accusations.
>there’s documented proof of Unreal doxxing and harassing people for months, destroying every & thread, and causing a frickton of drama
>Unreal: anyone who criticizes us or brings up our bad behavior just wants to make us look bad so everyone should just ignore them! we did nothing wrong, just stop talking about it guys!
Frick off troony scum. This whole board should know to steer well clear of you and your ilk.
>australian satan
Literally post that proof right now. Post it.
Frick off unrealie unreal is nothing compared to James Krake when James Krake starts Krake press in September it will put Unreal out of business.
Maybe you shouldn't use troonycord then.
But where else would they create their secret DM groups to plan their future gay-ops?
Nowhere, that’s the point.
It's amazing how you guys can just hand wave away spamming a guys face and school around here for 2 months straight with a post this whiny.
If you wanna make a come back just own up to it. Be a fricking chad about it. This is IQfy you homosexual, not discord. Don't be such a b***h about it. You don't need this narrative about how one guy is bullying you for fun so no one else should bully you and how bullying you includes bringing up how much of a spiteful discord troony you are. Own it homosexual. Dox everyone who looks at you funny.
Why did they doxx the guy?
Fighting over who gets the discord kitten (male).
The last Tales wasn’t worth reading. Twin Candles was some of the worst shit I’ve ever read in my life. Traffic Stop was laughably bad too. KGB Agents read like it was written by a special-ed teenager.
even the other unrealcucks hate twin candles
twin candles is the story of two children that are driven to madness due their parents unreasonable demands for perfection. they are the green monster and kill their parents then themselves
I don’t think this whole writing thing is going to work out for you.
Stop these shit threads frick off
No.
> With the great success of Tales Volume 1
Translation: they sold about fifteen copies, most of which were bought by the losers “published” in the anthology.
Stop hating and get a life. Unreal can’t be stopped.
sure it can if its reported for "advertising or begging"
Y'all need illustrators?
Nope, they proudly boasted that all the art was AI generated.
You could ask in their Discord
https://discord.gg/jnbVWMQY
Please drop your details in the thread for a seperate project that may need illustrators 🙂
I'd love to support the zine but half the stories being written by child slaves instead of IQfy writers really turns me off
Not gunna support or read anything by troons. Sorry!
Bump
>bump from page 10 after eleven hours of no interest
If you're going to organize a Discord raid you can at least assign a couple people to the night shift. This is some amateur hour shit. Apply yourselves.
The Mighty Unreal Press volleys with another incredible killshot straight to the brain. Very cool my dudes. I've already submitted my work; keep on trucking
Bump
Stop bumping this piece of shit you dumb homosexual nobody is submitting to your shit book. Mods.
Bros, come on. We're making a book here. Don't you wanna be a part of it? Anyone can submit a story. We're not picky. You could be part of IQfy history. Just give us your story. Come on.
was volume 1 all posters from lit?
lit and discord. Though we're probably going to have to reach outside of lit to fill vol2 if we want to hit our deadline.
The doxxing thing makes me a little anxious. I was thinking about submitting until I’d heard that.
There’s no concern. Everything is great. They have a great team and they’re doing great work still.
Everyone that we lost because of the doxxing drama was worthless anyway. It may as well have been a scheme to cut the fat from Unreal. We're stronger than ever.
I know it's not cool to publish reddit stories but we're going to do what we need to do to hit our deadline. We've already pushed it back once. It's that or AI stories as filler.
False. At least Rhyme had some amount of editorial skill and charisma. He was carrying Unreal. Now that the talentless hack MacNaughton is leading Tales 2, I shudder to think about how poor the story selection, editing, and formatting will be. Not to mention that the cover will undoubtedly be AI generated garbage.
At least Krake is gone. That makes up for losing Rhyme.
Now if they can get rid of Woolston they have a chance
Woolswine needs to abandon his aspirations of making it as a writer and stick to wagecucking at KFC.
>reddit
>AI stories
Holy frick. I might have been willing to ignore all of the doxing drama but come the frick on. Are you that desperate?
>he doesn’t know that Ogden Nesmer is a CIA Novelbot used to disorient and divide our movement.
NesmerBlack folk…it’s over
Don’t submit. They’ll doxx you if you look at them the wrong way.
>reach outside of lit to fill vol2
What? Like going to reddit?
hmm today i will submit a story
Every time I see this image it's kino. Especially considering the bird. Ones who read the story will know
How could these frickers doxx me if I use a tempmail + pseudonym?
I mean they've only doxxed two people so far. You're unlikely to get doxxed I'd imagine. My issue is more that I don't want to associate with people who dox contributors for petty reasons when I'm trying to build a name for myself, especially when all those people have to offer me is a spot in a crappy anthology that no one actually reads. I have more to gain by actively disassociating from these people.
They’ve doxxed at least three. Two & contributors and another guy whose name they pulled from a submission email. They posted his name and photos of his apartment building.
Still, only three. You probably won't be next. Not what I'm worried about. I just don't want my name anywhere near people this scummy.
Wait, the people who publish this doxxed their contributors?
yep. that's why nobody wants to contribute.
If you join their Discord they regularly post links that are secret IP grabbers
The people who got doxxed deserved it. We regret nothing.
>no actual interest
>no trip
Thank you, you may also enjoy this one we put out around Christmas
that is a sick ass cover ngl
It’s AI art schlock, you have no taste
This thread is so pathetic that I almost want to write you guys a story out of pity.
Only will submit if there can be multiple James Krake stories. KGB Agents was the only worthwhile thing in Tales 1
James Krake is wonderful and my hero. Ship of Fuls is one of my favorites and Faceless is amazing
Infinite Money Glitch and Five to Four are two of my favourites
James Krake is the only good IQfy writer. F Gardner is the worst. Krake is so fricking good,
James Krake is the best
More James Krake please
Frick off spammer
I want more James Krake books thats the only way your shit book will see. You idiots need a brilliant man like that on your squad. A shame you fricked him over.
This magazine seems haunted
Stop trying to deflect from the fact your audience wants more krake and we're up in arms to have it.
I think thats the point
its a spooky story zine
Samegay nobody is bying this without krake in it. frick off I mean it.
KYS pathetic moronic shill
coping because krake has a more organic fan base than your shit book
More Krake
Luv Krake and luv the Unreal bros. I'll be buying the next releases of both.
Until then have yourself a nice BUMP
only krake is good stop latching on to someone who is actually successful
>when it responds in under 2 minutes
It’s an unemployed troony with too much time on its hands
Unreal Press doxx contributors, stay away
James Krake is one of the authors of all time
Krake is a respectable citizen and a just father figure to his wife’s kids but he is not a good writer nor even a decent sculptor of lime or marble.
James Krake could easily have multiple children with multiple women if he wanted to but he is a respectable kind man and I will not tolerate the slander
More James Krake in tales 2 please
Bumbp
James Krake is the greatest IQfy writer stop steering the conversation away from him out of jealousy
It's amazing jame krake is a successful scientist and writer and is still so handsome. he really has it all
Krake i love you fricka I’m
Drunk man guck I drank too Mitch happy forth b***hes yeah I’m fixing it tonight yeah yeah
40 posters ain't bad for a self-shilled shitty IQfy rag. I was expecting 10 tops.
To be fair, 30 of those IPs are people shitting on them.
As they should.
Hopefully the entire book is just James Krake stories. Nothing else is worthwhile. James Krake is handsome and makes me feel happy. James Krake is high IQ and has a big wiener.
James Krake
James Krake
I got an old story that is too shitty for & but would be perfect for you guys
>too shitty for &
Impossible.
