fiction genre icon

Fiction

Max words: 6000

We like all forms of fantasy. We like all forms of science fiction. Our horror offerings tend to be psychological, comedic, or situational โ€” not visceral. Weโ€™re happy to read comedy, steampunk, age-appropriate paranormal romance, superheroes and many other genres. We prefer: short stories between 3000 and 4500 words in length: they best fit our target episode length of 30 minutes; flash fiction under 1000 words.
