It seems there are some posters who have an interest in reading and writing literature in its various forms; are you aware the chans have their own eZine? It's not exactly prestigious, but it does mean they'll consider most any submissions for publication. So you have an opportunity too!
There is a $40.00 prize for the best prose fiction each month, if it helps. This months one I thought was especially deserving, knowing the author had a death and a heart attack in the family the month prior to writing it, so it was quite a touching story.
Their url is http://theaprilreader.org/, read a few back-issues if you can. It's a pain to get your mind into "reading internet fiction" mode but it's really worth it.
Our prose is a celebration for the season. Easler's Sin Vacuum is a reminder that nothing can beat a snuff film. Hurley's Shut Up Sauce and McVey's A Brothel Tale bring the familiarity of a youthful past from opposite ends of the globe. Scheer's Everything's Amateur echoes the insanity of a heat wave, while Arthur's A Common Fertility Ritual sheds new light on the heat of sex.
The poetry is a getaway from July's toils. Not Only That Fewer Men Know is a cure for the plagues of requited love and happiness; Rooftop's brilliant imagery is a release from the dull nature of the natural; and Untitled is a nice reprise from the motion of life.
Lastly, our new homepage is nearly finished, and will be deployed with the next release of TAR.
