"Personal, provocative, and potentially disturbing." The Rough Guide to the Internet http://www.roughguides.com/net/wwwezines...
The Fray is a web zine for "people who believe the web is about personal expression and a new kind of art."
The Web is full of homepages that tell the tales of day-to-day life. Fray is also full of tales of day to day life. But what makes Fray unique is the way that the stories are presented and enhanced by the Web and the interaction with readers and visitors to the site. It is interactive, the readers can share in the experience of the story teller AND also share their own thoughts.
"Every story has a posting area at the end where everyone is invited to tell their own story," says Fray's creator, Derek Powazek. "This is one of the things that makes publications on the Web different from any other medium... and, in my opinion, better." Powazek is primarily a designer, and Fray's beautiful design is some of the most innovative work on the Web.
Under the four main topics on The Fray, Criminal, Hope, Work, and Drugs, recent stories/essays have included:becoming a walker With a sharp excuse me and a businesslike shove to the right, I was initiated into rush hour. alive in the machine It's not my life. It's just my job. Really.

Submissions:
The fray takes submissions from anyone with a story to tell. And they believe that everyone does. There are only three rules:
1. Make it personal. (Use the word "I" or don't write at all.) 2. Be honest. (Only true stories will be accepted.) 3. Keep it under 1000 words. (Please!)
