welcome to the sphere

This is a copy of the "Collected MUST" which features content from issues #1-7.
Check out many Sphere members! And think about submitting for MUST #8 which will be out in December! Thank you everyone! -Lynn



unconventional unpretentious unrestricted uncovering unrepentant unforgiving uncensored unbelievable nonconforming nonrestrictive nontraditional nonmainstream - NONFICTION - raw rare righteous readable right between your eyes off the wall off kilter off center off the hook off the chain ON THE WING. We’re flying again. We need art. We need writes. We need you. Write for us. Create for us. Read us. ON THE WING. The nonfiction arm of Full Of Crow.


Yes, it's another network. But it's not just another network. It can be as much or as little as you want it to be.

The Sphere is a place for people interested in writing, poetry, publishing, zines, art, diy, collectives, collaboratives, experimental work, and small press to discuss work, projects...to meet up, trade, post calls for submissions, and connect around creative work and the independent art/press scene. This network welcomes writers and publishers and artists from all walks of life, who share a commitment to community, independence and collaborative distribution.

Navigate, Links, More

If you have a link to add to the sidebar (or it was unwittingly lost in the shuffle) please send a message to Lynn or Michael. And please consider adding your publication to the "call for submissions" section. Please ask if you have questions about anything here.

Navigate: Use the top tabs to navigate and find your way around. There are some new tabs, like "For New Members", as well as links to groups, blogs, forums, downloads, ebooks, newsletter info, projects, events. The top level tabs generally have a drop down menu of more tabs underneath.

This is a very well developed world you've got here. It begs to open out into a fullblown fantasy. I think of the claustrophic Gormangast of Mervyn Peak, even a bit of Lovecraft. All you need is some peril from within or without to wake up the Foo...
