Welcome to the website of The Plague, NYU’s only intentionally funny publication. Here you can learn more about our magazine, view all of our past issues, and most importantly, find the inspiration to finally write up that courageous and surely hilarious piece about how Patrick Bateman from American Psycho (2000) is literally so you!.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join or submit to The Plague, even Tauruses. If you’d like to submit to our magazine or say hi, you can email us at plaguemagazine@gmail.com. Also, we're currently looking for opportunities to use some of our funding to help princes in various foreign countries get back to their rightful positions of power—if you know of any, hit us up.

A bit of history about The Plague: The Plague began in the 14th century in Eurasia where it just simply killed tbh. There wasn’t paper or education back then so the laughs had to be spread by word of mouth and rats. Approximately 75-200 million people shared in the joy of comedy as The Plague became a worldwide sensation. Flashforward a couple hundred years and now you, dear reader, can join our proud tradition!

If you want to be a part of The Plague’s future, past, or in-between, come to one of our meetings on Wednesdays at 6:30 in various rooms around NYU's campus (email us for the location!!). Pizza will be ordered and probably eaten as well. Get meeting updates emailed to you by shooting us an email at plaguemagazine@gmail.com.

In the meantime, you can connect with us on Instagram (@plaguemagazine), where our pay-to-play interns post updates and content so The Plague can once again emerge as an unstoppable global power.

How do I submit?
Send written pieces to plaguemagazine@gmail.com! We always respond with feedback.
How do I submit visual art?
Email your art to plaguemagazine@gmail.com. If you're working on a full-page visual gag or fake advertisement here's what you oughta know: the Photoshop document should be 5.25 X 7.25 inches, have a .125 inch bleed, at least a .125 inch margin, and a 350 DPI resolution. If you don't know what that means, just send us the art you've got an we'll grudgingly format it ourselves. If you want a template PSD, email plaguemagazine@gmail.com.
Can we advertise with you?
Only if they are humorous advertisements (e.g. Flo from Progressive, GEICO ads, or a pharmaceutical ad that ends with listing waaaaaay too many side effects!)
