Open call for submissions for a Science Fiction Anthology to be published by QueeredFiction where genre is queered. Deadline is 28 February 2009.
Exotic queer futures unfolding before alien eyes, queer cyborgs and androids in love and at war, augmented queer humans seeding the far flung stars … hard science fiction or realms of lighter pseudo-sciences where queer flowers bloom on strange new worlds; even if that world is our own. Your submission should be a short story between 4,000 and 10,000 words. We are seeking fiction with positive images of queer characters. We’re not looking for clichés. We do not want reprints. We are seeking first world rights for this anthology which will be published as an eBook and possibly in Paperback format. Your submission should be via email to editor@queeredfiction.com with Queer SF Anthology submission in the subject line. Please embed your short story within the body of the email and provide a brief author bio. Payment will be a 50% royalty split of eBook sales between contributors.
Queries welcome at info@queeredfiction.com or http://queered-fiction.blogspot.com/
Submissions open: 1st December 2008 to 28th February 2009
Reading period begins: 15th February 2009

Do you take stories with more than one author?
Naomi Brooks and I were considering putting together a piece for this.
Angelia: Of course, a collaborative piece is entirely acceptable and I look forward to seeing what you and Naomi weave on that story-loom.
Is there a rating level for this? I imagine explict sex would be "too much" but I just want to make sure.
vandonovan: I'll accept anything in the sex scene category from fade to black to explicit ... of course the scene should be an integral part of the story and give some forward momentum - be it plot, character development etcetera.
I'm in the middle of something for this that is, er, not very hard scifi. It has robots, AIs, that sort of thing, but all in the context of art - it's very near future. Would that be acceptable? :/
Joanne Smyth: It's difficult to judge from a brief comment, but we're open to hard SF and lighter SF...so I'm sure your piece will have sufficient elements to fall within this broad range of Science Fiction tales.
