(min $20). No mult or sim subs. Subs only through website.] E-mail (no submissions): MrsPeabody@nfg.ca http://nfg.ca/ NFG is a quarterly print magazine. NFG is not a webzine. NFG accepts submissions through [the] website [at http://nfg.ca/] only Stories of fiction, art, comics and poetry--exploring the farthest reaches of the imagination. We've probed your mind. We know what frightens you, what makes you laugh, cry, think, see... and what makes you believe. Behind the face you wear, you think you are a warped, disturbed individual. You are. Welcome home. We don't believe in typecast genres. Our artists make their own brand of fiction. The label has no importance if the story digs in, opens a new door and twists your way of thinking. You try to forget, but you can't. The characters have become a part of you, the tale forever carved in your mind. Hell, you read the newspaper, don't you? What could be worse? Truth is only stranger than fiction because the fiction hasn't happened yet. Yet. Sniff sniff... I smell a writer. Yeah, you there. The one with the rolled-up story bunched under your sweaty armpit. Show it to me. I dare you. Join up, read the guidelines and submit your soul for publication. Are you a comic-strip artist, with an unusual ability to make people laugh out loud, or pull back in horror? Time to make the world see through your bloodshot eyes. If knowledge is power, then fiction is foreknowledge. Ready yourself for the splashdown of issue #1, coming summer 2002. Questions and inquiries should be directed to MrsPeabody@nfg.ca. [http://nfg.ca/] Mission Statement To deliver the unexpected, the odd image that sticks with you or makes you bark out laughter from time to time over the coming weeks. Stories to talk about with your friends or colleagues that explore the universe, the self, or the alley outside your window. We are hoping to publish the intelligent and creative who can't seem to or don't want to cram their ideas into a pigeonhole long past stuffed with pigeon feces. We want the real Joe to open up our magazine and scream, "finally!". We want our mothers to take one look and drop into a dead faint. Above all, we want quality writing. Questions and inquiries should be directed to MrsPeabody@nfg.ca. [http://nfg.ca/aboutus.jsp] Submission Guidelines Welcome to NFG! We are a new magazine based in Toronto, Canada, with staff and distribution throughout the world. Our goal is to showcase the works of great, new artists with curved, edge-of- your-seat fiction, poetry that pushes the limits of human nature, art, comics/strips, articles and interviews. A group of artists seeking artists of the 21st century. Are you driven to make your mark in the wet cement, with the ability and persistence to see it harden? Please--step here. Submissions ONLY accepted THROUGH [THE] WEBSITE FICTION Original, unpublished fiction up to 7500 words in any genre that provokes, disturbs, awakens and shakes up the minds and emotions of those who read it. Fantasy, horror, slipstream, science fiction, historical fiction, character driven stories you can't stop thinking about. No multiple or simultaneous submissions please. POETRY Fresh, daring poets that are able to reach out and stun the consciousness with their unique views. All forms and lengths accepted for those that aren't afraid to take poetry beyond the limits. ARTICLES and INTERVIEWS An interview with a well-known (or not so known) author, a break-away home-town band to essays on how you marketed your first e-novel--if it's interesting, informative and researched, we'd love to see it. ART We're in need of illustrators for stories, articles, cartoons and cartoon strips that will reflect the magazine's edgy, exciting attitude. We expect exclusive first rights with a duration of no less than two years; republication in books and compilations is reimbursed at 50% of original fee. Reuse of artwork in electronic media is NOT reimbursed. Artist retains ownership of all original works unless otherwise agreed. We recommend you check out our "Call for Art" [at http://nfg.ca/artguides.jsp] to see more specifically what we are looking for at any given point in time. HOW TO SUBMIT All submissions are accepted on-line only. Plain text (.txt) submissions for fiction, poetry, articles and interviews. As standard, use underscores to indicate italics and asterisks to indicate bold. For artwork submissions, we require .gif, .jpg or .png, though we expect .psd or .eps for actual production. Mac Users -- if you don't know how to save stuff as text, or if you do but stuff still doesn't seem to be working (please always verify that your work made it by checking "Your Info" after submitting it, regardless of email messages you may get) and check out: mac tips at http://nfg.ca/mactips.jsp. SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO: Visit http://www.nfg.ca and join. When you're logged on, you are free to submit using the menu on the left.

[http://nfg.ca/subguides.jsp;jsessionid=aaa4nbDL5UsD5C] TALES OF THE UNANTICIPATED [Annual printzine, SF/F/H to 10,000 wds. Pays 1-1/2 to 2 cents/wd. Reprints okay. Query for sim subs; up to 3 mult subs. Reading window 1 May - 1 Jun 2002. No e-mail subs.] Tales of the Unanticipated Eric M. Heideman, Editor P.O. Box 8036 Lake Street Station Minneapolis, MN 55408 E-mail (no submissions): TOTU@att.net http://totu.home.att.net/ =Tales of the Unanticipated= announces a new reading period! Details below. =Tales of the Unanticipated= welcomes submissions from writers, poets, and artists. Please read the following contributors' guidelines before submitting. General Guidelines Reading submissions for #24 that are postmarked May 1-June 1, 2002, ONLY. Will respond by October 31, 2002. We give stories the most detailed consideration offered by any current SF publication. That takes time. If you require a yes or no in two months, our answer is "no." If you need confirmation that we got your MS, enclose an "MS received" self-addressed, stamped postcard (SASP) in addition to your self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) for our response to your story. If you are reading this after June 1, 2002, DO NOT send unsolicited manuscripts. Write a query letter, enclosing an SASE, to learn when we'll be reading for #25, or visit our website at http://TOTU.home.att.net/ for reading period/guidelines updates. Please note: TOTU is currently an annual publication. We aren't open for submissions very often. None of the editors assumes any responsibility for unsolicited manuscripts. Reasonable care will be taken, but we're human, and we occasionally screw up. Include a SASE with adequate postage if you want your manuscript returned. Please don't guess what adequate postage is; ask the post office every time you submit. Postage-due manuscripts will be refused. For questions and queries only: TOTU@att.net. Prose Submissions Send PROSE submissions to Eric M. Heideman, Tales of the Unanticipated, PO Box 8036, Lake Street Station, Minneapolis, MN 55408. Eric does not assume responsibility for art and poetry mailed to the above address. ARTISTS AND POETS, PLEASE READ THROUGH THE GUIDELINES. #24 will be a general, non-theme issue. We will consider stories up to 10,000 words; no serials. We prefer stories with personality over the factory-made brand. We especially appreciate stories that take old ideas and approaches and turn them sideways and inside out. A story whose whole effect depends upon a "surprise" punchline is usually less effective than a story whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Believable people, good writing, interesting ideas, and a good story, well told, are always appreciated. Don't just read these guidelines. Read the magazine. Please note that Eric and the TOTU staff put a lot of time and care into helping promising writers hone their craft. Writers of originality and vision often need help presenting their material so that their desired effect gets across to readers. That's what editors are supposed to be for. To be helpful, we think it's necessary to be honest. If you see personal editorial feedback as enemy action, please don't waste our time: we have a magazine to put out. If you like getting feedback, we look forward to reading your stuff. RIGHTS: TOTU acquires First North American Serial Rights. We occasionally settle for One-Time Reprint Rights on previously published material, but if your piece was previously published, you need to say that in your cover letter. No surprises, please. SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS: We are occasionally willing to look at simultaneous submissions, but again, no surprises; you need to query and obtain our permission before submitting simultaneously. (After several staff members have each devoted hours of consideration to a piece, it doesn't make us happy campers to learn that, in the meantime, unbeknownst to us, you've sold the piece elsewhere.) MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS: Because of the short reading window, we're willing to consider UP TO three stories at a time; but please include a separate SASE for each story. E-SUBS: TOTU DOES NOT ACCEPT STORY SUBMISSIONS BY EMAIL. EMAIL SUBMISSIONS TO ERIC M. HEIDEMAN WILL BE DELETED UNREAD AND WITHOUT RESPONSE. (For poetry submissions, see below.) PAYMENT: 1-1/2 - 2› a word for science fiction, fantasy, horror, and unclassifiable stories, to 10,000 words. No serials. Nonfiction Pays 1-1/2 - 2› a word for essays for the general reader on speculative fiction writers and themes, or speculative science articles, to 6,000 words. Currently backlogged on interviews; no plot summaries masquerading as book reviews. Query Eric M. Heideman with an SASE with idea before submitting. Poetry Pays $7 for speculative poetry, up to two typewritten pages per poem. Send poetry to the attention of Rebecca Marjesdatter. If you give an email address, plus your mailing address, no SASE is necessary with poetry submissions. (THIS ONLY APPLIES TO POETRY SUBMISSIONS. Prose submissions sent to Eric without SASE will be discarded unread.) Illustrations and Cartoons $25 for front-cover art, $15 for back-cover art, $12 for commissioned interior illustrations, $7 for cartoons, spot illustrations. For an assignment, send several clear photocopies representing the range of your work. Please do NOT send original copies unless asked to do so. Send art portfolios to Rodger Gerberding, 1204 S 9th, 1st Floor, Omaha, NE 68108. Send cartoons to Eric Heideman at the address for fiction submissions, above. [http://home.att.net/~TOTU/guidelines.html] ----------------------------------------------------------------- MARKET INFORMATION 3SF Liz Holliday, editor of =3SF=, said, "Slush reading came to a dead halt while I did [a] high-paying freelance gig. Tonight I have another paying thing to do (it's overdue because of the other job). At the weekend, I plan to get caught up. "But stats for the record: Hardcopy subs to be read: 23 Hardcopy subs put by for second reading (both probable sales): 2 Email subs to be read: 21 Email subs - revisions received but not yet read: 3 or 4 "Be it noted by anyone thinking of sending me an email sub - I'm clearly slower at reading them, so though you save postage, I'm not sure you save time." [sff.publishing.3sfmagazine, 25 April 2002] ARTEMIS MAGAZINE Ian Randal Strock, editor of =Artemis Magazine=, said, "Just a quick note as I recover from a hellacious week: the Summer 2002 issue of =Artemis= (aka issue #7) is on its way to the printer. It took considerably more time to get it out the door than I'd originally intended, primarily because it is the most graphic-intensive issue I've done. Assuming it comes out as I'm pretty sure it will, I'm going to be very proud of this one. "Anyway, just a note to say I'm getting back to normal, and will be back to reading the manuscripts that've been accumulating for the past two or three weeks." [sff.publishing.artemismagazine, 24 April 2002] He continued, concerning the free issue offer, "I've had as many responses as I can take. This offer, therefore, is finished. "Copies will be going out in the next few days. "And thank you, everyone who responded." [sff.publishing.artemismagazine, 26 April 2002] CARUS PUBLISHING GROUP A writer on the =Speculations= Rumor Mill said, "I just noticed that the Carus publishing group (the folks who put out =Cicada=, =Cricket=, and all the other young'un oriented magazines) has switched from buying first world rights to all rights. "Does anyone know if they're at all flexible on this? They used to buy first rights and I can't say that I wouldn't sell all rights for $.25/word, but the idea of doing so is a little freaky." [http://www.speculations.com/rumormill/index.php?t=204, 16 Apr 2002] Another writer said, "A little more info on =Cricket=/=Cicada=. The market report in the current =Children's Writer= says they are obtaining secondary rights on previously published material. I can confirm this as I received an offer this morning to buy second rights on the story I sold them a few years back. Looks like they're tying up a lot of loose ends." [http://www.speculations.com/rumormill/index.php?t=204, 17 Apr 2002] DEEP OUTSIDE In response to a question about queries to =Deep Outside=, a writer on the Rumor Mill said, "I sent a story to =Deep Outside= in the middle of last month. For some reason I expected an auto reply confirming receipt, so when it didn't show up--and since I've been having trouble with my ($#%&) current web server--I re-submitted with a note explaining why. Within three days I got a reply from Brian saying that he had received both e-mails. He said they don't normally send out auto-replies and that if I did't hear back within the six week reading period (whenever they are -- they don't give any dates, only that the maximum RT is twelve weeks), I should feel free to contact them." [http://www.speculations.com/rumormill/index.php?t=204, 22 Apr 2002] IDEOMANCER UNBOUND Mikal Trimm said, "Let me clarify the shortlist for the [=Ideomancer Unbound=] antho. We do NOT use slush readers; to make the shortlist, both Chris Clarke and I have agreed on the story's merit. We WANT it. The only reason we aren't giving out acceptances at this point is that, due to the fact that we've never done one of these before, we don't know how many entries to expect by the end of June, and we only have a limited number of spots to fill. The bloodbath over which stories make the final cut or not should be brutal." [http://www.speculations.com/rumormill/index.php?t=201&m=11777, 26 Apr 2002] NEVERWORLDS A writer on the Rumor Mill posted that webzine =NeverWorlds= is folding. Ralan.com posted a farewell message from Jonathan M. Sullivan, the editor: "After a great deal of painful deliberation, Kevin McPherson and I have made the difficult decision to suspend publication of =NeverWorlds=, at least for the time being. We may resume publication at a later date, although looking at the situation realistically suggests that is not a strong possibility. "=NeverWorlds= made a little money, but never produced a profit. Quite frankly we couldn't care less about that. It doesn't cost that much, and for us it was always a labor of love. The problem is that over time the labor has overwhelmed the love. The production of =NeverWorlds= is an extremely demanding and time-consuming process, one that has consumed the lion's share of our precious little free time for the last several years. Much as we would like to continue, it has become physically impossible, given our professional and personal responsibilities. At some time in the future, it may become possible for us to resume publication, and if that opportunity presents itself we will enthusiastically seize it. But for now, we both need a rest. "To those of you who have had submissions waiting at =NeverWorlds=, we apologize for the delay--we wrestled with this decision for nearly two months ... because we didn't want to make it. We've always tried to do right by our contributors, prospective and otherwise. We certainly didn't want to string anybody along. In the end, it was the pending submissions that forced our hand -- we just couldn't see keeping you guys on the hook any longer. "Our plan is to leave =NeverWorlds= up as an archive of free sf, reviews, artwork and other features--indefinitely. "It is also our plan to release one additional issue, to showcase material already purchased and in inventory. We still have great stories coming from Paul Melko, Arnie Christianson, Leroy Smith and others. "We really do hope to resume publication someday in the not-too- distant future, when our lives get less crazy and when perhaps we have a little help. We refuse to declare =NeverWorlds= dead. Think of it as suspended animation, if you will. "It has been a distinct privilege to work with so many wonderful and talented people. It was always the artists and writers who made =NeverWorlds= go ... our profound thanks and best wishes to all of you." [www.ralan.com] STRANGE HORIZONS Mary Anne Mohanraj, editor-in-chief of webzine =Strange Horizons=, says, "I've seen a few people pretty upset . . . about getting form rejections from =Strange Horizons= recently. *Please* don't take this too much to heart. As our readership goes up (and it's been spiking madly since the Hugo thing, so it's likely to just keep going up), our submission volume does too, and it's getting to the point where it's much harder for Jed, Chris and Susan to find time to write personal notes. So if you got personal notes in the past and aren't now, that doesn't mean that we like your work any less than we did before. You can take *future* personal rejection notes as a good sign, if you like, but I really recommend against trying to do a compare and contrast with the past, because the circumstances have really changed."
