Calling all fanfic writers and artists!

[aquarius]

I wasn't sure if this could go down in the creativity forum, so I thought it would be pretty safe to put it here.

Note: Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested, or repost it at any community that deals with fan fiction in the relevant genres. Any help in getting the word out would be greatly appreciated!

Personal note: Half of the editors LOVE Hex, and we'd love to see some Hex material in our first issue.

Are you tired of fanfic that promises good, hot, steamy, AND mature
romance -- the sort you yearn to read on a lonely afternoon -- only
to have your heart sink in disappointment when what you were hoping
for isn't delivered?

Do you hate it when all you've read turns out to be vapid, overblown,
and boring porn pieces that wouldn't even qualify to be part of an
instructive sex manual?

Are you left confused, shaking your head, and asking yourself "Just
what version of 'Twister' ARE these people playing?"

Well, have we got an alternative for you!!!

Hey--just wanted to remind everyone that we're still looking for material and we're interested to see what the creative minds here have to offer.

Also, if anyone here draws well and would like to do an illustration or two for a Hex story, please let me know.

Thanks.

Just wanted to remind anyone who's interested that the deadlines for SFC are coming up. Stories are due by January 31, 2008, and artwork is due March 15, 2008.

We still need artists so if you draw we'd love to talk to you!

Visit www.somerescue.com/A-Larger-Playground-Press.html for submission guidelines and FAQs.

Thanks.

I'm feeling some Hex plot bunnies rustling around in my brains so I'll try and whip something up.

[aquarius]

That's awesome! ;D Hex stories in the zine would be a beautiful thing.

As much as I'd like to contribute, romance isn't really my genre to be honest. Best of luck with the project.

[aquarius]

Thanks, fenris! I know everyone doesn't do romance, and that's cool, I don't always read that, either. If you ever decide you want to be zine published, though, my friend Cheree does a multi-fandom zine that handles all types of stories, not just relationship ones.

If anyone's interested, we just pushed the deadline to February 28, 2008.
