Holiday submissions now open.
Because monthly issues just weren’t enough, we’ve decided that we’re going to have a Holiday Half-Issue available mid-December. Of course, to successfully do that, we’re going to need holiday-themed stories.
We don’t care if it’s about Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, or any other winter holiday you can come up with. Hell, it can even be about a general disdain for the entire season. It should just relate to the holidays in some way or else the entire theme is rendered moot. And, seeing as how we are us, after all, feel free to add as many Hanukkah goblins and robots to your story as you want.
Holiday submissions should adhere to our regular submissions policy. The only difference is that we’re requesting you add the word “Holiday” to the subject line. Submissions for the issue will only be open until December 11, 2009, with the issue being released the following Friday. It’s not a lot of time, we know, but we have faith in you.
And given that it’s a half-issue, we’ll probably only be running three or so stories. Just enough to print out and cram into someone’s stocking as a thoughtful last-minute gift. A gift made all the more touching if you’ve actually got a story in it.
