Who Writes Short-Shorts?

Don't adjust your screen. No, you're not experiencing deja vu. I am simply extending my call from January for short-short erotic stories. Cleis has decided to add to the trim size of the book, which means I need nine additional stories at approximately 1,000 words each.

Here are the deets:

1) I'm looking for original stories between 750 and 1,000 words. (Yes, I will accept a few shorter pieces. No, I won't accept any longer pieces. So don't ask. Really.)

2) Tease me, please me, but don't spook me or oog me. This means, no incest, underage, or animals. (And especially no incestuous, underage animals.)

3) Your characters can be as gay, straight, bi, or curious as you want them to be. I like a range of flavors in all my endeavors. (Except in coffee. I take that black.)

4) Fetishes are fabulous—and I love lots of them: spanking, D/s, BDSM, shoes, stockings, marabou fluff, cross dressing, oral, anal, group, phone sex, bubble wrap—and that was only last night. If you aren't sure if your theme will tickle my fancy, drop me a note and I'll discuss the situation with you. (And yes, I do like tickling.)

5) NEW Deadline: August 15th. Submit up to three stories per author. Paste them into an email and send to msalisontyler at yahoo dot com. Include a brief bio, as well.

6) Payment: $40 per story, due upon publication. You keep the rights — Cleis only wants the non-exclusive right to use your story in this collection (in all forms, audio, e-book, print, etc.).

7) What'd I forget? I can't remember. Can you?

XXX,
Alison

P.S. Oh, you patient authors who originally submitted but have not heard... please hang onto your seats a little long. Cleis is halfway through the mega-manuscript and so far so good. (No cuts or substitutions requested.) I will send out approvals just as soon as I receive them!
