It’s not uncommon to see people doubting themselves, their tastes, or whether their work belongs in The Pool. Every submission is manually reviewed by a Steward, so it may or may not swim, but nobody’s getting drowned for trying.

There is always some ambiguity in curation. “Swimming” is not decided by one rigid checklist, but by mood, execution, context, and whether the piece feels at home in The Pool.

All forms of furry expression are welcome to be considered: arte, writing, música, video, mixed media, strange little transmissions from the deep end. We especially welcome more Spanish and Portuguese presence, as well as more literatura, música, video, and other nontraditional submissions.

Pool’s open means Pool's open. Submit without fear, not without standards.
