Call for Submissions - Fcuk Equality: Er0tic Short Stories for Rowdy Queers

Post date: 14 June 2012
Deadline: 31 December 2012

Against Equality (www.againstequality.org) is putting together a new anthology of er0tic fiction, so we need your help! We’re looking for submissions of original, unpublished stories between 1500 – 2000 words that incorporate our political agenda of challenging mainstream gay and lesbian politics (ie. marriage, military service, and hat3 crimes legislation) into the storyline. We’re always trying to find new ways to animate our politics; what more fun and s3xy way to share our political project than with nau9hty tales of queer d3bauchery and gender terr0rism!?

We want to hear about your wild3st fantasi3s of rauc0us anti-war organizing, lesbian wolf packs fighting to end anti-queer vi0lence (Born in Flames tribute anyone?), trans prison librarians organizing er0tic poetry writing groups, s3ducing marriage equality interns to the dark side, and lots more! These are just a few examples to get all your juic3s flowing. And remember: political er0tica (when is er0tica not political?) doesn’t have to be dull and didactic – let your imaginations run wild!

Submissions are due December 31st by email to againstequality@gmail.com; we hope to complete the editing process early in the summer. Each contributor selected for publication will receive two copies of the book as compensation. Submissions should be formatted as either .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .txt files. Please include a short 50 – 100 word bio.
