Dang it! The deadline for submitting living-dead animal stories has passed. What the hell am I going to do with that zombie squirrel story now?
Other ultra-specific themed deadlines you might try to make:
Scheherazade's Facade
Fantasy with a transgender/cross dressing/gender-bending theme.
February 28th
Irish's Story Playhouse
An Irish parade story geared to readers 4-14
February 28th
SNM Horror Magazine
April Asphyxiations: Stories of comas, being buried alive, suffocation, being trapped or imprisoned.
March 20th
Howl: Dark Tales of the Feral and Infernal
The struggle between man and the animal-beasts of myth and legend.
March 15th
Got a story that fits? Great. Otherwise, get on it. Perhaps you could go one step further and combine them all. If anyone comes up with a fantasy story about a transgendered person in an Irish parade struggling with a beast of legend and is buried alive, then Shelf Life would love to read it. Happy writing.
Is the new issue of Shelf Life more handsome than this fellow? That's for you to decide. Issue #8 is live.
Jimmy Chen brings the weird with an original look at popular music. Ethal Rohen writes about the circus. Marcia Chicca dazzles. John Grey returns with some more choice poetry. And an interview with Molly Gaudry!
If you write fiction as short as Kat Williams, there are a bevy of excellent journals that specialize in such microfiction. If you don't, maybe you should consider it as it opens a lot of little doors.
