SUM FLUX Fiction Repository
A Living Archive. An Open Call.
This is a self-selected masterlist of fiction—no jury, no gatekeeping, just writers choosing their own best work. Each piece here was submitted by its author as a reflection of their highest level of craft, their most beloved work, or both.
As a disclaimer, please note that these works have not been vetted by SUM FLUX editors and inclusion does not imply endorsement of opinions or viewpoints We encourage readers to explore with an open mind.
The list is still open for submissions and will remain so. If you’d like to be included, drop links to your two best pieces (private message only) along with a one-sentence description of yourself as a writer.
This is an evolving archive—a place to discover and be discovered.
