Alpennia: Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast Fiction
<\/strong>They want short stories in the lesbian historic fiction genre, to be produced in audio format for the podcast, as well as published in text on the website. The editors want to see actual historic culture and the plot and characters should be firmly rooted in that time and place. Stories must be set before 1900; the editors would like to see stories that reach beyond the popular settings of 19th century America and England. Romance is optional \u2013 meaning story lines focusing on the establishment of a new romantic relationship \u2013 and romance stories should have some other strong element in addition to the romance. Stories\u00a0may<\/em>\u00a0include fantastic elements that are appropriate to the historic setting. For example, they can include fantastic or supernatural events or beings that people of that era considered\u00a0to be real. Or stories may be modeled on the fantastic literature of a specific historic era and culture. No time-travel or past memories, erotica or tragic endings.\u00a0

\n– involves struggle against state authority, capitalism, or other oppressive\nhierarchies
\nTheir guidelines also say, \u201cWhile\nwe are aiming this podcast at a primarily anarchist audience, we are actively\nexcited about publishing work from other political traditions that share an\nantiauthoritarian, pro-community worldview.\u201d This is primarily a reprint\nmarket.
