E-mail subm okay.] FF&F submissions c/o Chaosmanor Enterprises P. O. Box 753, Sioux City, IA 51102 FAX: 712-258-3635 Editor: Kathleen A. Hill GL: http://www.Fantasytoday.com/Fantasy_eZine/fantasy_ezine.html E-mail: submissions@Fantasytoday.com The premiere international e-zine for fantasy readers and writers. Monthly. 1st issue on September 1, 1999. NEEDS: articles and reviews, short stories, poetry and artwork dealing with pre-selected topics / theme per issue. SHORT STORIES: 1500-7500 wds. If the story is an excerpt from a novel, please note this in your cover letter. But, the story must be able to =stand alone=. If you have illustration, that's wonderful. If not, we may contract illustration for the piece. After all, we do print art, too. Contracted illustration will be chosen by the staff of FF&F, and is not subject to approval by the author. FF&F is interested in publishing quality fiction, non-fiction and art with a fantasy, folklore and/or fairytale background. We feel the subjects of fantasy, folklore and fairytales intermingle, but can also stand separately. Fantasy deals with things that can't quite be. Folklore is based on myth and legend. Fairytales span the reaches of time, creating parodies of life. First and foremost we want to be entertained. ARTICLES/REVIEWS must deal with art, books, games, history, movies, or other publications that fall under our subject headings. These do not necessarily have to match the monthly themes, but are better if they do. 1500 wds max. THEMES: First issue: simply Fantasy, Folklore and Fairytales. Deadline: Aug 1, 1999 for the September 1st issue. October's theme: Hauntings. Deadline: August 20, 1999. November's theme: Hollow Trees. Deadline: September 20, 1999. Subjects will be posted 3 (three) months in advance in the magazine. We will accept submissions up to 3 (three) months in advance, but no more. Please be sure to specify which theme is used. PAY: For short stories: On acceptance. $10-$15. For articles/reviews: On publication. $5/. FF&F will retain rights for the month in which your work is published. Submissions by snail mail or e-mail. Only one poem or manuscript per e-mail. Submission guidelines on site.
