\"big<\/a>I\u2019m looking for stories based on traditional fairy tales, but with a Lesbian 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_fairy_tales<\/a> and http:\/\/www.surlalunefairytales.com\/talesindex.html<\/a><\/p>\n

All stories must have an erotic element, with a preference for romance<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

Please look carefully at the submission details and be sure you send all the required information.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/strong> October 15, 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, with a 1-2 paragraph summary <\/strong>of your plotline to avoid having 10 Little Red Riding Hood stories, though perhaps that would be an interesting anthology on its own. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Specifics<\/strong>: 3,500 to 10,000 words. Please be sure your submission is free of typos and errors. Polish your story before sending it, please!<\/p>\n

No rape, underage, incest or bestiality. If you have other content you feel might be questionable, email me for clarification<\/p>\n

In your cover letter<\/strong>: include your real name, your pen name, the title of your story, the original fairy tale it is based on (if applicable), word count, and a 100-word bio suitable for publication, (i.e., not your life story.) Incomplete subs may be sent back for you to fill in the missing information.<\/p>\n

In your attachment:<\/strong> save the story with your last name and the title of the story. It\u2019s nearly impossible to work with 30 docs called \u201cfairy tale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also include<\/strong>: your name, pen name, title, word count, your snail mail and email addresses, as well as a short synopsis of the story. That means a summary including the ending. Please don\u2019t leave me guessing how it ends.<\/p>\n

Format<\/strong>: send in RTF or Word (no docx), double spaced with no headers or footers. Do not use tabs to indent paragraphs.<\/p>\n

Terms<\/strong>: Advance of $10 against the royalties on ebook sales (and other non-exclusive subsidiary rights) for a period of three years. 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!<\/p>\n

To submit<\/strong>, please send an attached document to lynley.editor @ gmail.com<\/strong>. Be sure your name & pseudonym, address, email, word count and a short summary of the story appear on the first page of your attached document (not only in your email).
\nFeel free to email me with any questions.<\/p>\n
