Here's (http://www.affinitiesjournal.org) something that looks like it could be a bit of fun...
Affinities is a web-based journal that focuses on groups, movements, and communities that set out to construct sustainable alternatives to the racist, hetero-sexist, system of liberal-capitalist nation-states. We are interested in questions such as: What kind of experiments are out there, beyond the state and corporate forms? How are they working, what obstacles are they encountering? What are people doing to emulate their successes and avoid their failures? How do these experiments relate to various histories of radical struggle? How do we build lasting culture(s) of resistance and (re-)construction?
There is much work to be done to adequately understand the new forms that radical politics are taking today. What are the common paths shared by groups, movements, communities, and peoples that seek to construct sustainable alternatives to the existing order? What are the inequalities, prejudices, and forms of oppression (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability) that divide these formations, both internally and from each other? For it is only through changes in practice that can result from such a discussion that we can work out ways in which solidarity across these divisions can be strengthened.
Affinities will publish work that comes from perspectives including, but not limited to, anarchism, anti-racism, autonomist marxism, disability studies, ecology, feminism, indigenous politics, poststructuralism, postcolonial studies, and queer theory. We do not seek to synthesize or prioritize any of these traditions; rather, we are interested in the ways in which they intersect, in how they can inform and critique one another while retaining their own particular approaches and questions.

It's out of our hands (we, the editors, and you, the writer) once it's on the site. That's what it means to 'publish', no?
