\n<\/strong>This speculative\nfiction magazine wants work particularly (but not exclusively) addressing these\ntopics:(1) The future of religion in an age of amortality; and (2)\nCommunal identities on a globalised planet. They are <\/strong>not interested in\ncharacter-driven fiction, and want Campbellian hard science fiction. Their\nguidelines say they\u2019re looking for \u201chard SF that zooms out of the personal and\nlifts off into the structural, the systemic, the epic. We yearn for carefully\ncrafted philosophical speculation that puzzles over the questions of the future\nand alternate pasts. And we have a soft spot for stories created as \u2018artefacts\u2019\n(fictional, \u2018in-universe\u2019 non-fiction).\u201d They also accept speculative\nphilosophy, and translations.
\nDeadline: 31 January 2020
\nLength: Up to 2,000 words
\nPay: $0.03\/word (Euro) for fiction; $0.01\/word for translations; no payment for\nnon-fiction

\n<\/strong>They have\nopened a brief submission window again for their survival horror anthology. The focus is on the survival horror genre (in which protagonist(s) must\nface dire situations in locations far off the beaten path by using the\nenvironment, or items found in the environment, to survive) of video games, and\nto incorporate elements of the survival horror tradition into narrative fiction\nwriting. This anthology will favor active horror stories over quieter, literary\npieces. Think dangerous locales, overwhelming odds, makeshift weapons, cryptic\njournals, secret underground facilities, and deadly traps. Their\nguidelines also say, \u201cAlthough this is a sub-genre created by\nvideo games, you don’t have to have knowledge of video games to submit. You\ncould look at this as a “survival against the elements” type of\nstory, or a “survival against something in the woods” type of story. But keep in\nmind…the protagonist must be at severe odds against his or her adversary.\u201d Military horror is not a good fit for this\nanthology.
\nDeadline: 31 January 2020
\nLength: 2,000-8,000 words (2,000-5,000 words preferred)
\nPay: $50

\n<\/strong>For this quarterly journal, they want a short story\nbeginning with a pre-set first line. They have released the first lines for all\nthe four quarters (see guidelines) and for the Spring issue, it is: \u2018Ravi had\njust worked a double shift and was having trouble keeping his eyes open.\u2019 Their\nguidelines also say, \u201cIf you think you are up to the\nchallenge, you can write a four-part story that uses the spring, summer, fall,\nand winter sentences. However, all the parts must be submitted at once (a\nsingle e-mail or snail mail) before the February 1st deadline. (If selected,\neach part will be published in its respective issue.)\u201d They also accept poetry and\nnon-fiction.

\n<\/strong>They\u2019re looking for general audience furry stories on the\ntheme of \u2018Innovation\u2019. Their guidelines say, \u201cWe can\nbe generous in how we interpret \u201cInnovation,\u201d but all stories must be furry.\nThat means an anthropomorphic animal figure should be significantly featured in\nyour story \u2014 it could be anthropomorphic in body or only intelligence. We\u2019ll\nconsider any type of furry fiction from secret life of animals to fox in\nStarbucks \u2014 as long as it\u2019s excellent. Though, the editor does have a\npreference for stories where the animal nature of the characters matters \u2014 if\nthe reader can\u2019t even remember the species of the characters by the end of the\nstory, then that\u2019s not a good sign.\u201d

<\/strong>They are seeking fictional short stories for an upcoming anthology, \u2018Twenty Thousand Leagues Remembered\u2019, to be published in June 2020, on the sesquicentennial of Jules Verne\u2019s classic. The anthology will contain short stories that pay tribute in some way to Jules Verne\u2019s \u2018Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea\u2019. Their guidelines say, \u201cSet your story in any time or place; use characters from Verne\u2019s novel or make up your own. You need not write in Verne\u2019s style. The mood of your story need not be dark, as other Pole to Pole Publishing anthologies have been. Aim to capture, in your own way, the sense of wonder and adventure for which Jules Verne is famous. The connection between your story and\u00a0Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea<\/em>\u00a0must be obvious and significant, and your story must not disparage either the novel or its author.\u201d They also accept reprints.
Deadline: 30 April 2020 or until filled
