We continue to be pleased with the response to the initial call for submissions. For those interested, we’d like to see more of the following:
- Light/funny/uplifting
The submissions we’ve received to date are predominantly serious or dark. We’re aiming to publish a variety of moods and themes so we’re on the lookout for more pieces of a lighter persuasion.
- Sci fi
To date, we’ve had less stories that could be classified as purely sci-fi than stories under the fantasy and horror umbrellas. We’d love to see some well-written science fiction that dazzles us with concepts but is driven by engaging characters.
- Short/Flash
We’re more than happy to publish flash and micro fiction as long as each piece tells a complete story.
For the writers who have already submitted – thank-you. We’re currently responding in around five days or less to most stories. If your submission was made more than 10 days ago but you haven’t heard from us after the initial acknowledgement e-mail, it’s most likely because your story has been long-listed for consideration in either of the first two issues of Scape (January and March 2011). All authors will receive a final response within 60 days of acknowledgement of submission.
