TEoP Slushpile Scorecard for 2007
So, now what? Well, now that the TEoP 2007 Slushpile is closed, the TEoP 2008 Slushpile is open with an all new theme already written up in the Call for Submissions. Because I am nice and because I want good, on-theme stories, here are the guidelines:
THEME[S] FOR 2008
The theme for the first year of the Edge of Propinquity was "Revelations." The theme for the second year was "Consequences." The theme for the third year is "Retaliation." It should be considered to encompass and expand on the previous "Revelations" and "Consequences" themes.
In order to be accepted for publication, stories must fit the webzine's theme and setting. The setting is a modern day story focusing on a character deep within the hidden world that surrounds mundane society. All guest author stories must include an active retaliation from one character to another. This can be mundane to supernatural (IE: hunter after the vampire who killed his sister), supernatural to mundane (IE: Werewolf seeking revenge for a murdered mate), supernatural to supernatural (IE: mage versus mage due to a stolen artifact) or mundane versus mundane via supernatural means (IE: teen cursing another teen for the loss of a best friend).
The hidden world does not have to be supernatural. It could be conspiracy based. No far future, medieval or alternate dimension stories, please.
