questions

is “linja monsuta” a theme? do i have to include something menacingly stringy/ropelike in my work?

you do not. the name of the issue is just a name, not a theme. it’s flavor. but if the name gives you ideas, then this is good.

can i submit a translation of a story?

everything in lipu monsuta uses a CC BY-SA license. because of this license if you submit a translation of another work then you must have permission to use the other work in this way. the translated work must be very old, or it is yours originally, or the author of the work gave you permission to translate it.

does my submission need to be short?

nah, it can really be as long as you want.

can i use weird/new words?

you can. but i would like for you to look hard at your usage, and ask: “does my story truly need this weird word?” if it needs it, then use it. weird words are not bad. (i used a weird word in this document!) but you have to remember: if you use a weird word then a lot of people are not going to understand your story. what is important to you: the understanding of others or the usage of the word?

am i allowed to submit pictures or text from Stable Diffusion / GPT / other “AI” tools?

no.
