Halloween Microfictions Re-Open Til Friday!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Circlet Friends! In a first, I have decided to re-open the Halloween microfictions submissions. Scary, I know, but I need more stories. Not many. Just a few. So I&#8217;m taking submissions again until this coming Friday, October 18th, midnight EST.\u00a0 All the same rules will apply which I will link below but here are some things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<p>No reprints<br \/>\nPlease follow standard manuscript formatting and include a word count and short bio.<br \/>\nStranger sex and ghost sex are a hard sell. I see a lot of these and they rarely work.<br \/>\nStories must include explicit erotic content but please bear in mind that we publish literary erotica. So there should also be a strong focus on character and story.<br \/>\nPlease do no resubmit work I have previously rejected.<br \/>\nConsent is of the utmost importance.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t try to fit too much in. Flash fiction is more like a scene. Too much world building can drag the whole thing down.<\/p>\n<p>Please also note that I already have vampire, werewolf, and witch stories. So I&#8217;d like something else if possible. There are LOTS of different types of monsters out there and lots of different Halloween tropes\/myths.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link for the full guidelines:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/circlet.com\/call-for-submissions-halloween-microfictions-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2019 Halloween Microfiction Guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Circlet Friends!
