We welcome submissions from writers of all ages and experience. We encourage new writers to submit their work and established writers to use our forum for experimental fiction. We want to receive “bold” and “brave” stories. We require that you agree to our terms and conditions and your submission of a piece of work to us will constitute an acceptance of those terms and conditions (listed below) by you. Unfortunately, we cannot pay for publication.

We accept the following types of submissions with strict adherence to the word limits. Please note that a reasonably short title is not included in the word count (a title for a very short ficlet should be no more than two words and for a microfic, one word.)

Ficlets (under 1000 words)

Very short ficlets (under 100 words)

Microfics (20 words or less)

Short poems (under 500 words)

Submissions will be welcomed on any theme and in any genre, provided there is a GLBT connection, and multiple submissions may be accepted but please don’t have more than three active submissions at any time. There will also be regular themed submissions requested, as well as competitions to enter.

From time to time, we may focus on the work of a single author or group of authors.

Terms & Conditions

By submitting work you agree to accept the following terms & conditions:

• Your story stands alone
• Is GLBT themed or friendly
• Is not fanfic
• Contains no pornography (eroticism is fine); racism; excessive gore; or other obscenity
• Is written in English
• Must not be part of a larger work unless it can stand alone
• Has not been previously published elsewhere, in any format, with the exception of your own blog or website or work-shopped in an internet discussion group
• You assign us First Electronic Rights for a period of three months from the date your work appears on our site. If your work is published elsewhere before it appears here you must advise us and withdraw your submission
• After three months, your work will be transferred to our archives, where it will remain accessible. If you wish it removed from our site you need to advise us in writing, by e-mail
• The decision on whether to publish is made by our Editors and is final.

Submission

Submissions should be in Rich Text Format (RTF) by email, (the email link is at the bottom of these guidelines).

We encourage you to submit a 25 word maximum biography to include with your work. We will also provide links to your website, and request that you will reciprocate and link to our site.

We may make minor spelling or grammatical corrections without contacting you. However, if we believe that significant changes are required, we will contact you by email. We will contact you to let you know whether your submission has been accepted or not and when it is likely to appear on the site. We will respond as quickly as we can, but please understand that this may take some time if we are receiving many submissions.

Notes for Formatting

To assist the editing process, please use Rich Text formatting to post your story, sending it an as attachment to your email.  If you post in any other style formatting problems may occur.

That is:

• Edit your work in rich text file format (.rtf) before submission
