Additional info

I just don't want to see female characters who are weak, having to be constantly rescued, etc. Females in the story should have the same strength of character as their male counterparts and not be there as window dressing. This has been changing over the years in fantasy writing - the idea of the female character being nothing more than a sidekick, the princess to be rescued, etc has faded significantly. But, she still shows up occasionally. We are no longer looking ONLY for stories that feature female characters. However, if your story has female characters - they CANNOT be there just as window dressing for the male character or only to serve as damsels in distress. Submissions received outside the submission period - will be held for the next submission period. I will accept reprints as long as it has been at least 1 year since the story was previously published, rights have reverted back and you tell me where it previously appeared. These will be limited to 2 per issue. PAYMENT: $15.00 for short stories $5.00 for poems and flash (<1000 wds) fiction pieces. $5.00 for reprints
