Ships of Hagoth is a digital-first literary magazine featuring creative nonfiction and theoretical essays by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Where other LDS-centric publications often look inward at the LDS tradition, we seek literary works that look outward through the curious, charitable lens of faith.

"You're looking at the ghosts again," a voice whispered from the darkness of his room.

He reached the end of the directory. The status changed from "In Progress" to The story of these nations, from their birth in the ink of old maps to their digital immortality, was finally documented.

Nikolai clicked an entry labeled The Industrialist . The image bloomed into life: a tall figure in a soot-stained coat, eyes glowing with the embers of a thousand coal fires. This was a version of Britain that no longer existed in the history books, preserved only here in the "Completed" archives.

"Every page is an era," Nikolai murmured. "And we're just the librarians."

In this digital limbostate, countries weren’t maps or geopolitical entities; they were memories, avatars, and icons. Here, the "FAP Nations"—a moniker given to the collective of personified states—lived within the server's architecture.

It looks like your topic comes from a specific online gallery or archive tag related to "FAP Nations" (often a community project involving personified countries or "Countryhumans" themes).

Nikolai didn't turn. He knew it was just the hum of the cooling fans, but in the world of the 12 pages, the nations felt real. He moved his cursor to the "Next" button. Page 5 was done.

A CALL FOR

SUB
MISS
IONS

We are hoping—for “one must needs hope”—for creative nonfiction, theoretical essays, and craft essays that seek radical new ways to explore and express theological ideas; that are, like Hagoth, “exceedingly curious.”

We favor creative nonfiction that can trace its lineage back to Michel de Montaigne. Whether narrative, analytical, or devotional, these essays lean ruminative, conversational, meandering, impressionistic, and are reluctant to wax didactic. 

As for theoretical essays: we welcome work that playfully and charitably explores the wide world of arts & letters—especially works created from differing religious, non-religious, and even irreligious perspectives—through the peculiar lens of a Latter-day Saint.

We read and publish submissions as quickly as possible, and accept simultaneous submissions.
