Call for Submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
I was sent this by Crystalwizard:
*******************************************
Time must figure prominently in each story. For example, the story could be about time travel. Or it might concern a wizard who uses spells that affect time in some way. It might be about people or things that have been displaced to a time other than their own. The story could even be about someone who’s time is running out, perhaps from a deadly disease or poison.
Stories that explore parallel events in time, the nature of time or in some other way are centered around time will all fit in this anthology.
Along with TIME as the central focus of the story, it must also fit in one of the following genres:
Hard Science Fiction
Soft Science Fiction
Fantasy
Space Western
The above genres can be mixed with each other if desired but stories that fall outside of these will not be considered. For example, a story that is Space Western/Fantasy would be perfectly fine but a story that was Horror would not. The only exception would be minor elements. A fantasy could have some horror elements as long as they weren’t so heavy as to turn the story into a Horror or Horror/Fantasy mix.
If you have questions whether your story idea qualifies, feel free to email and ask.
Stories may be set in any time period from prehistory to the far future.
Word count must be between 3000 and 6500. Stories that are too short or too long will be sent back to the author to revise and resubmit.
Submissions open on Nov. 1, 2008 and close on May 1, 2009. Submissions received before Nov. 1, or after May 1, will not be considered.
Send submissions as an attached .doc or .rtf file to:
timeantho@gmail.com
Submissions in other formats, or pasted into the body of the email, will be returned to the author with a request to resubmit in the correct format.

Re: Call for Submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
hmmm..... I have a story idea in my notebook that fits this theme perfectly. However, the idea is probably too large for a short story.
Unless I trimmed the plot down to the barebones....

Re: Call for Submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
Yes, that always happens with short stories. On the other hand, I've had a whole novel grow out of a short story idea.
It helped a lot to have written the short story, actually.

This sounds like good stuff. I think I'll try for this... when NaNo is done, of course.

Re: Call for Submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
Is Crystal the ed on this, or did she just forward it to you? It looks like her writing style in the sub guidelines...

Re: Call for Submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
In that case anyone who might have a story should go for it. You'll get some feed back.
