I've got a few short story projects, some complete, others in the process of being revised, and I'd like some advice on where to send them (especially so I know if it's even worth the effort revising some of these if there's no good place to submit them).
"The Cat in the Castle" (1636 words, complete) - A humor piece aimed at younger readers, a cat who lives in a castle inadvertently prevents a war between two dukedoms from reigniting.
"The Legend of Prince Calphalon" (1066 words, in process of revising) - Inspired by thinking that various bakeware and kitchen utensil brand names reminded me of the names of characters from a bad fantasy novel, this is a fantasy farce about the dim-witted Prince Calphalon of Everlast, duped by the evil vizier Pyrex into searching for the legendary sword of William Sonoma to help him win a duel.
"The Chronicles of Kvell: The Tower of Tarn Agolet" (6k-ish, in process of revising) - Think "Conan the Barbarian as done by Mel Brooks." The mighty Kvell, son of Kvetch, battles the evil warlord Oyga Valt, who is kidnapping Jewish mothers in order to magically harness their ability to induce guilt as part of a world domination bid. Lots of Jewish in-jokes and plays on fantasy tropes. (This was previously submitted to and rejected by JewishFiction.net.)
"The Fencing Lesson" (990 words) - In Renaissance Venice, a mercenary is hired by a nobleman to teach him to fight (as opposed to the gentlemanly art of fencing he learned). Years later, the mercenary is hired to kill his former student, who now has a reputation as a swordmaster. This one's straight drama (originally intended for Flash Fiction online, but I'm wondering if there's a better home for it elsewhere, especially if I make it longer).
Thanks!
