Mad Scientist Journal is a zany zine looking for fiction which ‘purports to be “scientific papers” by mad scientists’. This could be ‘first person from the point of view of the scientist, someone who has witnessed these events, fictional newspaper articles, or even scientific papers about pseudoscience.’
Acceptable genres are ‘humour, SF, fantasy, horror, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, pulp adventure.’ Keep to ‘a first person perspective of some sort’ even in writing essays or newspaper articles, but remember it is fiction. Reprints and multiple submissions are accepted, but not simultaneous submissions. Writers whose work is accepted are asked to provide a fictional identity and a bio to accompany the published piece. This is to maintain the atmosphere of a proper ‘scientific journal’. Work would be published like this: ‘An Examination into the Giant Albino Fire Moles’ by Professor Higglepiggle, as provided by Mary Smith, Author.’
