slum magazine is currently a not-for-profit publication and receives no revenue nor pays for contributions.

We are always looking for great articles from SL publications on the web or inworld, on almost any topic relevant to Second Life, except for commercial promotions. Bloggers, writers  and magazine publishers can submit entire articles or we can publish an excerpt only and link to the original post. Some fiction and poetry will also be accepted.
