Attention writers: 2 anthology calls for submissions!
GLBT Fairy Tales and GLBT Angels/Demons Erotic Romance Anthologies
I'm going to be editing two anthologies of mostly M/M stories for my editor and I wanted to extend an invitation to my fellow Supernatural slash writers because I know both themes would be of interest to you. This is a great opportunity to anyone else who is interested in having their work published by an erotic romance publisher and actually earn some money!
Feel free to contact me with questions about how to convert fanfic to original fic and specifics about publishing/payment etc.
GLBT Fairy Tales Erotic Romance Anthology

Editor: EM Lynley
Payment: Royalties
Email: lynley.editor @ gmail.com
Length: 3,500 – 10,000 words
Deadline: June 15, 2009 or until spots filled — query ASAP if you need an extension
Publication Date: July 2009
All stories should be based on traditional or original fairy tales, but with a GLBT slant. Here's your chance to spice up some favorite childhood tales in a way you've never seen before, but always wanted to tell the story! Feel free to use non-European tales as a base. Here are a couple of great resources for inspiration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fai
Please query in advance, with a 1-2 paragraph summary of your plotline to avoid having 10 Little Red Riding Hood stories, though perhaps that would be an interesting anthology on its own.
Currently accepting only M/M stories as there has been an abundance of F/F queries and subs. CLOSED to F/F subs unless you have previously queried.
All stories must have an erotic element, with a preference for romance over pure erotica. That means there should be a relationship between the characters beyond merely a sexual one. The sex should have emotion and I want to feel that along with the characters. These are fairy tales so there should be HEA or HFN, whichever is more appropriate for your story.

WICKED GOOD: GLBT Angels & Demons Erotic Romance Anthology
Publisher: Ravenous Romance
Editor: EM Lynley
Payment: Royalties/possibility of upfront payment instead
Email: lynley.editor @gmail.com
Length: 3,500 – 10,000 words
Deadline: June 30, 2009
Publication Date: August 2009
The concepts of good and evil have fascinated us for millennia. Add in some sex, and we can’t get enough! Let’s see some new twists on this ever-popular theme. Angels with kinks; demons who make us do things we’ve always wanted to. Each story should have angels, demons or both.
Preference for m/m pairings, but I’d love to see some hot f/f stories as well and ménage is welcome. I’m looking for erotic romance rather than pure erotica. That means there should be a relationship between the characters beyond merely a sexual one. The sex should have emotion and I want to feel that along with the characters.

Fairly insightful submit. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a great deal of my time looking for someone to explain this topic clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
