Who Am I? A Sapphic Spec Fic Anthology of Identity and Purpose
Description
Limited Demographic: sapphic/queer women
Note: payment will be made by PayPal.
This anthology aims to explore sapphic identity and purpose through the lens of fantasy and speculative fiction. Give us your adventure, introspection, daring, romance, or conflict!
Put simply, being sapphic is not all we are, but it does play a role in who we are and the choices we make. Same with our characters. We’re looking for stories that give sapphic characters something amazing to do while remaining visibly and proudly queer.
Within the specified genres and guidelines below, you are free to explore identity and/or purpose in explicit or implicit ways however you wish. That purpose or identity does not need to be related to queerness.
Speculative fiction, urban and contemporary fantasy, gothic, dystopian, near future, monster, steampunk, space opera, romantasy, fairy tale twists, mythic, or anything not specifically excluded! We are a big genre, with plenty of room to play.
