Call for Submissions  
Games in the Dark



An anthology of short stories with a kinky edge: restraints, blindfolds, spankings, threesomes - nothing too hard-core or heavy, please. We're looking for stories that are well-developed, consensual, and focus on exploring the emotional aspects of kinky play.

Length: 5,000 - 15,000 words (manuscripts shorter or longer will be considered but will have to be extraordinary)

Submission Deadline: August 20, 2009

---------------------------

I would love it if some of you submitted work for this anthology!

God, that cover is mesmerising...

Do you think a story would be ok if it was rather angsty but had a potential-HEA...?

Or I may have to write something new.

Darn it, I want to take part in this one!

I LOVE the cover. :)

I think angsty would be all right. I personally prefer HEA but I don't think the editor would find that a key element.

i love the cover of this and how cool would it be to get your work in print in something that looks as hot as that.

I may actually have to have a go at this as it's right up my alley. Although i'm always way nervous of writing anything original and submitting it as everything ive ever submitted has always either been way over the top for whomever was reading or not what they wanted.

for example the last original piece i wrote and submitted was a horror/tentacle piece for a Cthulhu anthology and aparently i gave them too much tentacles combined with sex and not enough horror.

oh well.

But this is certainly a short story subject matter i am very interested in. Kink all the way along with Hot Boys. That i know and can do. but just to come up with something.

I love the cover too! *swoon*

I definitely encourage you to submit something, just try to follow the guidelines and not be too extreme. remember that there's a wide audience for published material, who may not be as into (or experienced with) kinky stories as you are. Write for a relatively new reader.

Good luck!
