Open Call for Submissions
Share Your Art, Music, and Stories from the Trenches
This is an open-source collective, and it does not survive as a one-way street. S.O.F.U. is a decentralized bulletin board built for real people navigating life’s raw, unedited messes.
While I will be using the paid tier of this Substack as a way to protect and share the unapologetic, uncensored truth of living with mental illness, surviving toxic dynamics, and watching life get messy, the public side of this space belongs to the community.
We are officially opening the floodgates for member submissions. We want to feature your raw creative work directly on our public dashboard.
🖤 What We Are Looking For:
Raw Artwork & Design: Show us the custom gear you’ve made, your sketches, your paintings, or any street art projects you’ve left out in the wild.
The S.O.F.U. Soundtrack: Music keeps us moving. Send us your specific anthems or links to custom playlists that help you remember you are still here. (You can listen to Chelle’s Playlist here)
Writing from the Trenches: Share short essays, poetry, or unedited journal thoughts about life’s actual realities—free from corporate censorship or forced positivity.
📥 How to Submit:
Send your work over to hello@societyofthefuckups.com.
Subject Line: Please use “SOFU Public Submission” so it doesn’t get lost in the noise.
Anonymity: You have complete permission to hide your real identity here. Let us know if you want your submission published under a pseudonym, an initial, or completely anonymously.
Bring your true, raw self. We don’t need a polished performance; we just want what is real.
Alternatively, interact with us on the substack platform itself! Free members can interact with our notes and comment on our Welcome posts. Paid members can share their comments and participate in chats. We’re still learning Substack ourselves, we can screw it up together! You can also email us anytime hello@societyofthefuckups.com.
