lydamorehouse This doesn't pay very well (actually, hardly at all), but the subject matter amused me so I thought I'd pass it along to interested parties:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Bad-A$$ Faeries 2: Just Plain Bad
Premise: Urban Fantasy stories about tough faeries. Basically in professions or with interests that you would least likely expect faeries to be in. For this volume a faerie must be the antagonist. In other words, both bad-a$$ and bad. This is not to say there can't be good faeries in the story as well. (for those that aren't sure what constitutes urban fantasy, it is a story in a modern setting with fantasy elements).
Word Count: approximately 5000 to 7000 words
Payment: One comp copy per author and a pro rata portion of $1.25 each book sold
Deadline: November 30, 2007
Submission Guidelines: Please see website at www.sidhenadaire.com/submissions.htm Ideas to Avoid:(Used in first volume) Biker Faeries, mob faeries, detective faeries, ghetto faeries, assassin faeries, ossuary faeries, cowboy faeries, indian faeries, street urchin faeries, Puck, gang faeries (Submitted for second volume) Nazi elves, world war two faeries, faerie reaper, pirate faeries, heavy metal faeries, faerwolf, corporate raider faeries, repo faerie, evil tooth faerie Stories We Might Like to See:bounty-hunter faerie, hocky or rugby player faerie, mercenary faeries, teamster faeries, construction worker faeries, robber faeries/bandit faeries...that kind of thing. And one thing I'd really like to see...a cops-and-robber faeries' story. Keep in mind, though a faerie has to be a bad guy, that doesn't mean their can't be good faeries in the story too...
Second Anthology: Title: Cry Havoc - Stories of Conflict Between Men, Monsters, and Machines
Premise: collection is broken into section: Pure Fantasy (Men vs. Monsters, no tech), Historic Fantasy (any combination of the three, primitive tech (like DiVinci or such), Urban Fantasy (any combination of the three, modern-day tech), Soft Sci Fi (any combination of the three, future projection tech based on current design or theory), and Hard Sci Fi (Men vs. Machines, anything you can imagine, even if the science doesn't yet support it)
Word Count: approximately 5000 to 7000 words
Payment: One comp copy per author and a pro rata portion of $1.00 each book sold
Deadline: November 30, 2007
Submission Guidelines: Please see my website at www.sidhenadaire.com/submissions.htm We have an off balance amount of submissions for Historic and Urban Fantasy, and Soft Sci Fi, so focusing on one of the other sections might be advised.
