Indeed revenge is sweet! How about served with a big scoop of ice cream, with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a gleaming
drop of blood red cherry on top?

Just Desserts is all about vengeance. Whether your character is dishing it out or tasting the well-deserved (or not) fruits of
their actions, we want to hear stories of revenge. We’ll accept most genres, including science fiction, fantasy, mystery,
horror (but keep the PG-13 rating in mind), romance, steampunk, Weird Western, and poetry of various types.
We are especially looking for DIVERSE protagonists and characters, all races, including aliens, sexual orientations,
disabilities, etc.
