I snarfed this from several places. Pass it on.

Call for Submissions: Like the Knave of Hearts

What if Alice returned to Wonderland as an adult, and met up with the White Knight or the Red Queen again? What if there was more going on between the Queen of Hearts and the Knave than just those tarts? And what kind of adventures was Mary Ann, the White Rabbit’s maid, up to when she wasn’t at home? We’re looking for a darker, sexier view of Wonderland. Be creative, keep it legal, and don’t be afraid to explore your nightmares as well as your dreams.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

The submission deadline is December 1, 2009. Email submissions only. Stories are best submitted as a word processor document (.doc, .rtf, .txt, etc.) attached to the email, but do not forget to include your complete contact information on the attached document! (If it’s only in the body of the email, it’s quite easy to have a brilliant story come out of the printer and then have no way to trace back where the heck it came from.) Manuscripts should be correctly/professionally formatted for submission. (If you’re not sure what we mean by that, Google it.)

Preferred word length is between 3000 and 7000 words. All stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. (For more details on our editorial preferences, see the general submission guidelines on circlet.com. We highly recommend reading the guidelines, especially the “do not send” list, to increase your chances of sending us something we’ll love.) Try to avoid cliches. Fresh and direct language is preferred to overly euphemistic. Sex-positive, please, no rape/nonconsensuality/necrophilia or other purposefully gross topics. We do not publish horror.

Original stories only, NO REPRINTS unless the distribution was truly obscure. Ebooks pay $25 per story, with an additional $25 if the book gets a print edition. Authors get one copy of each edition, as well. Author retains the reprint rights to individual story; we buy non-exclusive rights to inclusion in this anthology only.
Send submissions to: msjblackmore (at) gmail (dot) com.

My latest review for AllBooks Review can be found here.

Just popping in to post a couple of reviews. I don't think I have these here already.

So.

A while back I wrote Clockwork Madams and Airship Pirates for Circlet's website.

Today Cecilia asked me to re-write it as the intro to Like a Wisp of Steam!

*skips*

I mean, I as already just thrilled that there's finally going to be an anthology of steamy steampunk, but this just adds the icing. Not that I need a reason to ramble on about steampunk, but it's always nice to have a sympathetic audience.

My interview with Midori is up over here.

Also, it seems that I forgot to post the link to Ann Vremont's interview when it went live last week, so you can find that here.

Both of these ladies write cyberpunk erotica, so if that's your thing you should definitely check out their stuff.

My interview with M. Christian went up last night. I was supposed to write an intro at the beginning of it, but he had to go and write an awesome one on his own, so that's the one you'll see. He was a lot of fun to chat with, even via email.

I've already finished interviewing Ann Vremont, so her interview should go up two weeks from today. I've also just written to Francesca Lia Block to request an interview, which might be aiming too high, but we'll see. I've got a couple of other ideas for potential victims, but I'm not sure which I've settled on yet.

Now, however, I should concentrate on getting ready for school. *sighs* Not nearly as much fun as stalking authors. :-D

Latest Broken Pencil Review

I should probably finish the next batch of reviews today or tomorrow. I'm not sure about their quality as compared to the last group, but I'll see what I can do. If my internship hasn't started by the time I'm finished them I may be looking for interim projects, if anyone has any suggestions.

I wanted to see how fast I could type for a cover letter. Now I'm pleased. :-D
