Our Story
One day Jack was looking for somewhere to submit a piece of writing (a lightish piece with Themes but not, you know, get you in the stomach ones. Not funny, but not NOT funny). Jude said her own work was often just 'a bit weird, but not really out there' and not lyrical nor gritty, not fantasy or horror or literary. Jack suggested they start their own magazine to give them and like-minded folk a chance to be heard.
They thought Neither Fish Nor Fowl would be a great name for it - except Jude isn't the best typist in the world, so it morphed into Neither Fish Nor Foul - which they like better anyway.
It started as a joke. But here we are. In any case, Cap'n Dave needs stories to keep those pesky Gander Brothers off his back.
Jack and Jude are keen to create a supportive creative community, where writers at all stages of their writing life can thrive and support each other. Jude and Jack are keen that this community be inclusive, and writers from all communities can find a home here.

Cap'n Dave
May or may not have once been a Naval Captain.
Was definitely once a bear
​
Rarely sober, rum-soaked salt Dave needs your weird, your absurd, your titillating tales to keep two angry geese off his tail.
Cap'n Dave's ship ran aground on the South Coast of Britain sometime in 2020. He quickly got into debt - bears are famously bad with money - and the only way to stop the Gander Brothers (scourge of the coast from Southhampton to Falmouth) from breaking his legs was to barter stories for cash.
He still owes them - which is where you come in. He won't be remotely grateful, he is a bear with a permanently sore head, but sending him your stories could help Cap'n Dave stay one wing-span ahead.
He is our captain and his is the final decision on all things neither fish nor foul.
He also writes a blog. It's not too bad for a bear.
