AGAIN
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.
Doomed by fate or driven by never-ending hope, following destiny or refusing to follow the signs, stories & characters are often shaped by cycles and patterns. Sometimes by being unknowingly framed by them, or by being unable to fully escape the traps laid by fate.
For anthology #12, we want to read stories that deal with time, cycles and patterns, and how characters respond to and are shaped by them. We are looking for broad responses to the theme AGAIN, and what that prompt may mean to different people in different contexts. As always, these patterns may take any shape or form – the generational struggles of magical realism, the self-fulfilling prophecies of fantasy, or the contemporary fight against destructive behaviours – as long as they are a sincere exploration of the theme.
AGAIN will be an anthology that recognises the obstacles against change, and the structures that can maintain repetition despite individual will; of how people are affected by trying to challenge what has always/will always be; and how meaning is found in any kind of narrative, ever-changing or cyclical.
