Quick Lucks is the online version of Big Lucks, with new work being released every Monday at 5:00 AM EST. Loosely-themed issues of Quick Lucks are introduced at the start of every month; these themes aren’t meant to limit submissions but to prompt. We like to publish work that isn’t clean and polished and complete, but dirty and rough and fragmented. Quick Lucks submissions should be (as the name implies) quick to read–we prefer prose to be no longer than 1,500 words. That’s about as much as we’re willing to tell you: it’s up to you to get filthy.
