Editor/ Author Nicole Gestalt is looking for stories with a science fiction feel. These stories do not have to be focused on the far future or even the near future, they could be alternative histories or stories from far away worlds.

Be as inventive as you can but please don't forget the story line and the relationships! Since this is an erotic anthology there should be on the page sex scenes however don't forget the interaction between the characters and the relationship they have. The stories should either end with a Happy-For-Now or a Happy-Ever-After it would have to be a amazingly good story for me to select it if it didn't (but I am well prepared to have my opinion changed on that).

Nicole will be looking for stories that stand out so please don't just set your stories on Earth, they can be set anywhere in the solar system – or even outside of our galaxy. Don't be afraid to experiment

The No-No's: No scat, bestiality, under age sex, golden showers, rape or forced sex or incest of any kind and necrophilia (that does not include intelligent undead such as Vampires). If in doubt please ask

Format of submission: Please send the submissions double spaced in Times New Roman, 12 point black font. Indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch and double space (using normal double spacing please do not add an extra line between the paragraphs). Double quotation marks! Please submit your final, complete and totally edited version of the story. File format: .doc or .rtf. Since this is a British publisher UK spelling and grammar is greatly preferred.

In your document at the top left of the page please include you legal name, mailing address and a fifty words or less author bio written in the third person. If you are using a pen-name please provide both and make it clear which one you wish to use.

Please email your submissions to: [email protected]

Authors must own their rights to the stories and not have had them published anywhere else. Please note the publisher has final approval over the stories included in the manuscript.

Will of the Alpha 2

Submission Deadline: August 31, 2014 (Tentative release date: January 2015 at Further Confusion)
Editor: Rechan, send all submissions and queries to [email protected]
Rate of Pay: 1/2 cent per word, 10,000 word maximum
Submission Guidelines: Stories with a strong BDSM element. While this involves bondage, domination and submission, discipline and sadomasochism, other kinks that fall into this realm are humiliation, objectification, feminization, orgasm control/denial and pony/puppy play. While the BDSM component is important, do not forget about the story—give us characters, conflict and plot, not just an elaborate sex scene.

It may help for you to review the first Will of the Alpha to get an idea of what stories have already been told, so you don't inadvertently write a story too similar to one previously printed or cover well-trodden ground.

Non-acceptable kinks: Non-consent (rape, strong coercion or forced slavery), excessive violence or mutilation, bestiality, characters under 18, copyrighted characters or bathroom play.

Characters must be anthropomorphic. Humans or other entities are allowed, but one of the main characters needs to be an animal-person in your story to be considered.

Reprints: While reprints will be accepted, original stories will receive precedence in the selection process over something previously printed or posted online.

No simultaneous submissions.

Rights: Exclusive print and electronic rights for 1 year, non-exclusive rights in perpetuity thereafter.

How to submit: Times New Roman, size 12 font, 1" margins, with name and title in the document. Send as a .doc or rtf file. Email the file to [email protected] with Name_Title in the subject line. A cover letter in the body of your email with a word count, synopsis of the story, and where your prior work can be found would be appreciated.


For those unfamiliar with "furry", you can find some relevant information here: http://www.furryfandom.info/
A recommended reading list of stories to get an idea of what writing best appeals to this fandom is being compiled here: http://www.anthroaquatic.com/forum/index.php?topic=256.0
If you have questions relating to writing and the fandom, please email the submission email listed above.

Editor/ Author Nicole Gestalt is looking for stories set in a might-have-been Victorian setting filled with clockwork machines and airships. Think Jules Verne or League of Extraordinary Gentleman, think Sherlock Holmes with clockwork machines and the film Wild, Wild West.


The stories do not have to be focused in the Victorian era they could be modern day stories but still with the Victorian clockwork style. They could even be off world – think spaceships powered by nothing but steam, or mighty metal boats propelled by sails powered by the rays of the sun. Be as inventive as you can but please don't forget the story line and the relationships! Since this is an erotic anthology there should be on the page sex scenes however don't forget the interaction between the characters and the relationship they have. The stories should either end with a Happy-For-Now or a Happy-Ever-After it would have to be a amazingly good story for me to select it if it didn't (but I am well prepared to have my opinion changed on that).

I just saw this one on a Yahoo group for romance writers. It looks interesting and takes shorter works (3K to 10K).

"There's something about mythology from all cultures that captures everyone's imaginations, so snuggle up by the fire and tell us a mythological tale -- with a Torquere twist! For our Mythologically Torqued 2015 anthology, we're looking for fully realized, romantic LGBT mythological tale interpretations. Make us laugh, make us cry, or surprise us and make us glow with happy endings!

Please send your 3000 -10,000 word submissions to [email protected]h "Mythologically Torqued" and your story title in the subject field. Please see our general submissions guidelines for formatting etc. Deadline for submission is February 15, 2015; all submissions will be held and reviewed after the deadline."
