An Explanation of The Dead Mule School’s Southern Legitimacy Statement [SLS]

Originally, the intent was to obviate spam. Then it just got fun and everyone enjoyed writing one so we continue with the tradition.

Please construct your own SLS. Be original or not. It’s not a big deal… just read some of the published SLS on the current or past Mule issues.

Do you have what it takes?

Note of interest to our submitting public:

Submission to and acceptance by Dead Mule grants us first electronic and indefinite archive rights. All other rights revert to the author upon publication. Please credit Dead Mule as the first publisher if you reprint elsewhere; we like seeing our name in print, too.

If you’re lonely for how it used to be, click here for SLS guidelines and inspiration.
