Categories (or Genre)

All stories must possess conflict, a beginning, a middle, and an ending. Solid plot twist(s) are nice in short fiction as well. Stories that are a mix of categories are welcome. Romance with a thick vein of sarcastic humor, or a nice horror piece laden with slapstick humor, will both be welcomed.

Categories

Romance

Submit great dialogue.

Action/Adventure/Thriller/Mystery

Yes, one giant genre mix.

Science Fiction / Fantasy

Tell us a tale that will inspire us to play RPGs in the woods.

Humor

Make us laugh and smile, but not necessarily in that order.

Literary

We expect deep rooted conflict in these.

Horror

Last on our list, but definitely not least. We love horror.
