Short Story - Anthology - Lesbian

Forbidden Fruit: stories of unwise lesbian desire

Editor: Cheyenne Blue

Publisher: Ladylit (www.ladylit.com)

Deadline: 15 May 2014

Payment: US$40.00 plus a copy of e-book and paperback

Rights: First worldwide digital rights and print rights.

Forbidden Fruit. She’s off limits but the attraction burns so bright it’s impossible to resist. 

Cheyenne Blue is seeking stories of lesbian passion on this theme. Think teacher and student. A best friend’s ex—or current—lover. A monogamous couple tempted by a threesome. A traveler leaving on the next plane. A much younger—or older—woman. A straight woman. The bad girl heartbreaker. The attraction between characters should scorch the pages and sexual tension is as important as the actual sex. As for the sex, think hot and desperate. Think once-to-get-it-out-of-our-system sex. Or this-really-is-the-last-time sex. 

Please note the usual no-nos still apply: no incest / underage sex / rape / necrophilia / bestiality / scat. No poetry please.

Preferred length: 2500 – 5000 words

Unpublished stories strongly preferred, although a couple of reprints might be used. Reprints must be solely owned by the author.

US English. Please submit a double-spaced Microsoft Word document, using a 12-point serif font, such as Georgia or Times New Roman. One inch margins. If using a pen name, include both real and pen name on the manuscript.

Send your story as a .doc or .rtf file attachment to Cheyenne Blue at forbiddenfruitantho@gmail.com. Please include Forbidden Fruit and your story title in the subject line.

In the body of the email please include your legal name, pseudonym, a short bio, and previous publication information if the story is a reprint.

Established authors welcomed, newcomers encouraged. I look forward to reading your work.

All submissions acknowledged within 3 days and acceptances notified by 15 June 2014.

About the editor: Cheyenne Blue’s erotic fiction has been included in over 90 erotic anthologies since 2000. Under her own name she has written travel books and articles, and edited anthologies of local writing in Ireland.

EROTIC SHORT STORIES

Coming Together: Triumphantly is a collection of erotica that deals with reclaiming the body and sexuality after the trauma of illness or injury. This collection will benefit the National Women's Health Network.

We are seeking stories of triumph, of healing, and of appreciating the body and its abilities after (and in spite of) the changes brought about by illness/injury.

Attach submissions of up to 7,000 words to an email in RTF or DOC format and send to submissions @ the-erotic-cocktail.com with TRIUMPHANT SUBMISSION in the subject line. In the body of the email, include the story title, word count, your pen name, and a brief bio. Also, please indicate whether the submission has been previously published. Poetry will also be considered.

This collection will be edited by Dorla Moorehouse, who pitched the idea to Coming Together as follows:

     In late 2010, my friend and fellow writer Reesa Brown and I decided we wanted to edit an erotica anthology based around reclaiming the body and sexuality after trauma, such as illness or assault. This idea was very important to Reesa, who was a breast cancer survivor. We mapped things out, found some interest from other writers we knew, and put together a call for submissions, but then Reesa's cancer returned. She spent most of 2011 fighting, and most of the time she was too ill to work. We planned to relaunch our efforts as soon as she was well, but unfortunately, that day never happened. After grieving her death in January, I've decided I want to continue along with the project as planned, even though she is no longer here to co-edit with me. While more than a year has passed since our initial plans, my motivation is stronger than ever.

Coming Together plans a Valentine's Day 2013 release for this anthology.

Here's the URL: http://www.eroticanthology.com/triumphantly.htm

Thanks again! Your support helps a lot.

Cheers,

Dorla

• Scat or golden showers (sex involving urine or feces play)
• Gratuitous violence (including splatterpunk, slasher, and torture-porn)
• Rape intended to arouse (though we will consider forced seduction or dubious consent if it is respectfully handled)
• Snuff (sex during which one or more persons are killed)

Royalties and Contracts

As of June 1, 2012, unless otherwise specified in the particular call, our standard royalty and contract terms are as follows:

Initial contract length will be for exclusive print and electronic rights for three years. One year after the release of the anthology, each author's submission will additionally be made available for purchase separately in electronic formats.

Short Story - Erotic Geek Love - Deadline: 09/15/2012

www.MissTracee.com

Call For Submissions

Geek Love: An Anthology of Full Frontal Nerdity
Editor: Shanna Germain
Publisher: Kickstarter
Deadline: September 15, 2012
Payment: Semi-pro rates of .03/word for fiction and $150 per page of art.

Do you have the hots for that uber-sexy IT chick who knows exactly how to turn your computer on? Do you find a mad scientist's lab a sexier setting than the bridal suite at the Ritz? Do you take tours through the natural history museum just so you can watch the tour guide talk about the hardness of perfectly preserved dino bones? Know how to twiddle a game controller with the best of them? Then we want to see your stories, art and comics in Geek Love.

Geek Love will be a collection that celebrates geekdom in all its erotic, smart, hot-as-an-exploding-chem-lab ways. Think smart and sexy, girls with glasses, boys with brains, computers with all the right hardware. Give us characters who are smart but not smarmy, nerdy and wordy — whether they're playing Doctor or petting Schrödinger's pussy! Bring us your mad (and sane) scientists, your grammar nerds and your nerdy grandmas, your role players and cos-players, your freaks and geeks, your goggles and gears.

We have a kick-ass team putting this collection together, full of skilled editors, planning gurus, artists and promotional rockstars, including Galen Dara, Jaym Gates, Janine Ashbless, and Shanna Germain.

This will be a Kickstarter Project, and the funds will be used to pay the writers and artists, to produce the full-color ebook and print book, and to promote the collection. If we receive additional funds (and we absolutely believe we will), that money will be used to increase the pay to authors and artists.

Geek love… It's the Comma Sutra. It's Full-Frontal Nerdity at its finest. It's the sexiest thing since Leisure Suit Larry and Lara Croft filmed that super-secret easter egg cut scene together. It's hotter than a mad scientist's robot girl.

What We Really Want (IMPORTANT! READ ME!)

We have accepted a number of fantastic stories and art pieces from top writers and artists in the erotic and geek industries. Here's what we're looking for to complete the collection:

More stories and artwork with QUILTBAG characters, as well as a range of ages, races, body types, alternative sexualities, and varieties of geekery.

We especially need stories with elements of steampunk, cyberpunk, science/math/computer programming, horror, sci-fi, spec fic, super heroes, tentacles, fairy tales, aliens, mad scientists, robots/technologies, glasses, spaceships, and fantastic world-building. Stretch the sexual boundaries. Think outside the geek box. Give us more hot sex and less romance.

We want more hot art of men and couples/threesomes/etc. engaging in sexy, geeky activities. Also, images and photos of nerdy sexual paraphilia are fun ­ did you make a steampunk dildo? Send us a picture. Submit the schematics for your ideal sex 'bot. Did you draw a fantasy map of geeky, sexual places? We want it. Red Riding Hood getting it on with Snow White? Or the mirror? Or the dwarves? Yes, please. Give us otherworldly, dark, fantastical, fearsome, hot sexual stuff!

We'd love to have some funny, risqué, beautiful comics as well! Think Oglaf, Chester 5000, The Devil's Panties, etc.

Dark is great. Funny is great. Just make it geeky and sexy and original.

For great suggestions of what we like, please visit our Pinterest page.

NOTE: We do NOT need any more stories about gamers/gaming, conventions, hetero couples having vanilla sex, geeks who have sex after a night of gaming, or long-term romance that takes a long time to blossom.

"Two people meet and have sex" is NOT enough of a plotline for this collection. Give us plot arcs, world-building, character interaction, internal dilemmas, beautiful language, and cunning innovation and you'll have use swooning all over you.**

The Fine Print

STORIES can be of any sexual orientation, with any number of participants. Any time period or genre is acceptable, but all stories should be well written, with strong believable characters, a solid plot and steamy sex. Humor is always a plus. No characters or worlds that are owned by someone else, please—we love D&D too, but don't want to get sued into oblivion. Stories should be 100-6000 words, submitted double-spaced in 12-point font as a .doc (or .rtf).

ART can be geeky, erotic black and white and color drawings, photos, cartoons, comics, and any other combination of art and words. Graphics should be submitted as high-res tiffs, jpgs, or gifs. The ebook and print book will be in full-color, but black and white images are also accepted.

Payment for accepted pieces will be semi-pro rates of .03/word for fiction and $150 per page of art.

We purchase first world electronic and print rights. We will consider reprints, but don't expect to accept very many of them, and they'll have to be amazing to get a yes vote from our team.

Submit stories and artwork to geekloveanthology@gmail.com by September 15, 2012.

If you think you're going to submit, have questions, or just want to run a theme/story idea/topic by us ahead of time, feel free to email us at the above email address.

What we can't accept: Underage characters having sex. Bestiality (of the real-animal type. Shapeshifters, furries, and Doctor Moreau's lab experiments are all fair game). Characters or worlds that do not belong to you (i.e. no fan fiction or art of any sort).

Thank you so much! We look forward to seeing your work.

BLACK LION PUBLISHING

There's nothing like a good romance novel with attractive characters, and we don't just mean physically. Heroes and heroines in Black Lyon contemporary romance novels have personality and depth of character. Heroines can come from all walks of life and have all sorts of interests. Settings should preferably be in America. Rural or urban - it doesn't matter. Traditional contemporary heroes such as businessmen and cowboys are welcome in our contemporaries, as are most other heroes. We accept fictional rock star or movie star heroes if the character does not demonstrate the lifestyle often associated with those professions. Sexual tension is vital, but we do enjoy sweet romances in the contemporary line. Manuscripts should not contain swearing beyond "damn" or "hell." Happy endings are mandatory. Manuscripts containing infidelity, abuse, addiction or similar behavior on the part of the two main characters will be rejected. Stories should be written in third-person and above all, be romantic. Readers should remember that feeling of falling in love simply by reading one of these books. 45,000 - 60,000 words.

Comical visits with families, the rekindling of an old love, or even gifting ten maids a-milking to an unsuspecting lover. Wild Moon Books is open to all sorts of stories, genres, and themes for this line, so long as they're happy, wintry, and joyous! Stories must be between 15,000 and 20,000 words.

Storm Moon Press is seeking submissions of 20,000 words or more for their current GLBT lines and for their heterosexual imprint, Wild Moon Books. Our contracts are for four (4) year terms with no right of first refusal or non-compete clauses and seek worldwide first English rights. We offer 50% cover on digital titles sold through our online storefront and 40% net on digital sales through third parties. We pay via check or PayPal. All titles over 65,000 words are made available in print as well as digital. You can find all our submission guidelines at:
