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.
