CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS : DECEMBER, 2014
More than an excellent, absurdist 2001 film set during the Bosnian War, "No Man's Land" is an idiom overused to inutility. It was a cliché long before I was born and learned what it meant or what a cliché was.

It's one thing to dress-up a cliché, it's another to reclaim it. So wax your mind clean, Mr. Miyagi-clean, and what does "No Man's Land" come to reflect?
Is it that piece of geography where two gubernatorial borders don't quite meet, or where they overlap?
The Age of Discovery was 400 years ago. You can barely outrun googlemaps lens these days. Is No Man's Land somewhere unfound? A tribe brandishing spears on the beach as the motorboat approaches?
How rare and valuable are then these last pockets of "undiscovery"? And what does "discovery" mean in this digital age anyway?
Is it a "No Man's Land", that which lies outside the current boundaries of science?
Are we talking about a lesbian commune living off the grid somewhere in the mountains?
Is this void a philosophical concept to be appropriated by some kind of post-scientology orgone cult?
Something else entirely?
You tell us. In writing. And if we like your pitch we can all have fun with all the mindgames that result.
Eat a peach,

- Dave.
