Inspo for “Erotica: Vibrato:”
flights of fancy amidst fawns & fairies, sirens & chimaera, nymphs & muses, cupids & cherubs, giant women & quixotic satyrs; symphonic daydreams found in tales of old Atlantis, in sylvan forests, private oases in hidden elvish cities; secret gardens overflowing with poppies & moss & wine & olives, overripe fruit beside bubbling fountains & verdant springs. Spin golden yarns overflowing with brimful bouquets musical ambrosia, rhapsodic rendezvous, symphonic daydreams, alluring mirages, buttercup capriccios, honeydew encounters, midsummer nights, abounding Edens, utopic connections ♡

OPEN CALL:
*ੈ♡⸝⸝🪐༘⋆ Death Rattle is looking for Erotica submissions for an IN-PERSON LIVE READING & ZINE RELEASE IN THE BOISE AREA details TBA! Fan Fiction Welcome! The Content: Fiction, fan fiction, prose, essay, and poetry. 2-3 poems, fiction/non fiction/prose 400-1200 words max.
You may use a pseudonym on our advertising if preferred; most of our past readers have used a pseudonym / performed in persona in-line with their fan-fic so you can expect that as a big part of the vibe for the evening! That’s not to say that soft and vulnerable work doesn’t do well by any means, we have had some wonderful writers read about more serious matters and it can be really powerful, but expect a crowd that is a bit rowdy! You also can ask someone else to read your piece for you if you yourself do not want to perform it and/or would like to remain anonymous to the work.
Content can be fan fiction, original content, auto-bio/true to life, etc. Past reading selections have featured trucks and dragons, aliens, Greek gods, monks, Transformers, Hulk Hogan, Shrek, BG3, Klingons Wuthering Heights and medieval knights alongside tinder dates and cringe meetups, sexcapades, and yearning sonnets.
