SDO Fantasy is a paying
electronic publication of fantasy fiction and fantasy reviews. Beginning
January 2003, we do pay for accepted fiction. With payment,
we retain the rights to publish your work one time and retain archive
rights indefinitely. We accept reprints, but not simultaneous submissions.
We publish quarterly themed issues, paying $10.00
(US funds, via PayPal) for each accepted story over 1500
words, and $5.00 for each accepted story under 1500 words. One story
per author per issue, please. Please specify what issue you
are submitting for (example: January, April, July, etc.) in the subject line of
your submission or on our submission
form.
The January 2003 theme is: Frozen
Places.
The April 2003 theme
is: Rainy
Season.
The July 2003 theme
is:
Dreamscapes.
The October 2003 theme is: (to be
announced)
Get
your submissions in as early as possible. We publish six stories per
issue, period. Abosutely no exceptions.
The staff is currently an army of a few individuals. We are
dedicated fantasy readers and writers, and have sufficient
experience writing and editing to recognize what we like. This does
not mean we will edit every line of every submitted story, so please
proof your own work first.
Your
submitted work will be treated equally and fairly, given the
same careful consideration as every other submission. If your
story is not accepted, you will know why. This is not meant
as anything personal, and you are more than welcome to submit
again or rewrite the story.
Please
be patient if you do not have an answer immediately. Almost
all submissions are answered within two weeks. Please query
if you haven't received an answer within three weeks.
Fantasy
fiction is past, present, and future. Take us on a magical or
mystical journey through time (in either direction) for example,
and show us what could have been or could be, whether a thousand
years ago, yesterday, or next millenium. Spiritualism is a seldom
visited branch of fantasy that we enjoy. What happens to the
Church a thousand years from now_ In retrospect, what about
Merlin's great grandfather_ Do you know where dragons are born_
Do you have an adventurer ready to share his or her tale_ This
is the place for you.
Most
importantly, fantasy fiction is about having fun reading and
writing. If you enjoy it, others will as well.
