SEVEN DEPARTMENTS / ONE MEMBERSHIP

A membership with
several things wrong with it.

01 / CREDENTIALS

An Official Accomplice card.

Your own numbered membership card, bearing a title of dubious authority. Download it. Print it. Explain it to nobody.

Inspect the credentials →
02 / CONCEALMENT

The Evidence Locker.

Save up to 100 BZ articles with private notes. A useful reading list, disguised as something that might be seized.

Open the filing cabinet →
03 / UNEARNED PRESTIGE

Dubious Honors.

Choose an official title, adopt neglected punctuation, and optionally appear among the magazine’s questionable benefactors.

Become inexplicably distinguished →
04 / CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Emergency Excuses.

Generate and save elaborate explanations for writing delays, missed social obligations, and work that has become philosophical.

05 / LITERARY RESILIENCE

The Rejection Letter Machine.

Reject your own masterpiece before a real magazine can get to it. Personalized, downloadable, and incapable of affecting an actual submission.

06 / DEMOCRATIC THEATER

The Board of No Authority.

Vote on the next imaginary crisis BZ should worry about. Results are public. Votes are real. Editorial authority remains absent.

Inspect the ballot →
07 / IMAGINARY CIRCULATION

A readership you can manufacture.

Your annual Fake Reader Point allowance powers inflated article counts, virtual bonfires, transfers, donation dispatches, and the purchase of Nothing.
