One year ago – inspired by 'Don't Submit!' (donotsubmit.net) – I started the German lit mag 'Rehkitzler', and so far this has been a strange but wonderful journey. If you understand German, feel free to check out the absurd, surreal, and bizarre pieces I got to publish. www.rehkitzler.de

Are there any lit mags that don't want a specific number of words but rather the exact Scrabble score of all the letters used in the text?

Eine möglicherweise lustige Kurzgeschichte von mir gibt's jetzt im neuen UND-Heft
Beginn der Geschichte "Augen auf Herr B." 
Berthold Birnenbacher war ein geborener Kämpfer. Nicht dass er jemals gewonnen hätte, aber er hatte den Ring des Lebens so oft schon bestiegen, dass sich eine Stempelkarte fast gelohnt hätte. Jetzt gerade kämpfte Herr Birnenbacher (der aus Einfachheitsgründen im restlichen Verlauf der Geschichte nur noch Herr B. genannt wird) mit einem Stück Klamotte. Siegessicher steckte er seinen Arm in den Hemdärmel, zog den Arm wieder aus dem Hemdärmel, der wider Erwarten ein Hosenbein war, und führte das passende Bein hinein.

Ein seufzender Luftstoß entwich dem Auswuchs in der Mitte seines Gesichtes, den man in Fachkreises Nase nennt, durchstrich seinen rhododendronbuschartigen Schnurrbart und verlor sich im Raum. Herr B. tastete sich durch seinen Kleiderschrank, bis er alles gefunden hatte, was er brauchte und hatte schon bald das Wunder der Ankleidung vollzogen. Früher hatte Herr B. Bücher verlegt, am vergangenen Freitag jedoch seine Brille ...Titelseite des neuen UND-Heft

"As they surrender, they creak louder and harsher, their bones snap until they collapse into the dark embrace of the soil, finding peace in the light they had blocked for so many years." Got a short story about dying trees published in 'A Thin Slice of Anxiety'

Can we all agree that all ears look so weird yet we never really notice unless they're slightly weirder than normal?
