Androids and Dragons



Description
We’ll consider any story with speculative elements, no matter how slight, except for graphic horror and erotica. We are particularly interested in stories featuring anthropomorphic characters such as dragons and other mythical creatures, animal-like aliens, or robots, androids, and other sentient machines. Dystopia, military science fiction, or stories that are primarily romances will be a hard sell, but they are not out of the question. If in doubt, submit!
