All stories must have an erotic element, with an emphasis on romance over pure erotica. Here&apos;s your chance to spice up some favorite childhood tales in a way you&apos;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: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_fairy_tales\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/<wbr><\/wbr>List_of_fairy_tales<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surlalunefairytales.com\/talesindex.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.<wbr><\/wbr>surlalunefairytales.com\/<wbr><\/wbr>talesindex.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <lj -cut text=\"Details, details, details!\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Deadline<\/b> May 31, 2009. You may submit anytime before then, but I may not have a decision on yours until closer to the deadline. I strongly suggest a query in advance (including a paragraph or two about your storyline) to avoid having 10 Little Red Riding Hood stories, though perhaps that could be an interesting anthology on its own.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Specifics<\/b>: 3,500 to 10,000 words. <span>&nbsp;<\/span>Please be sure your submission is free of typos and errors. Polish your story before sending it, please!<span>&nbsp; <\/span>No rape, underage, incest or bestiality.If you have other content you feel might be questionable, email me for clarification.<\/p>\n<p><b>Format<\/b>: send in RTF or Word (no docx), double spaced with no headers or footers. <br \/> <span>&nbsp;<\/span><br \/> <b>Terms<\/b>&nbsp; $10 per story advance against the royalties on ebook sales (and other non-exclusive subsidiary rights) for a period of three years. <strong>There is the possibility of an upfront payment rather than royalties<\/strong>, so email me if this is a deal-breaker for you to participate. Royalties are a pro rata share of the 35% on ebooks and 15% on audiobooks. If they sell additional subsidiary rights, additional payments will follow!
