Taking Submissions: Furry Frolics
Deadline: October 1st, 2017 Payment: Contributor's Copy Thurston Howl Publications is now accepting submissions for its furry anthology, Furry Frolics (tentative title); Fred Patten, editor. Deadline: October 1, 2017 Word count: 2,500-8,000; a little above and a little below will be acceptable Humor has been a rarity in furry fiction. We aim to change that! Furry Frolics will friz your fur and tickle your tail. We want your funniest fiction. There have been stories with anthro animals mixing with humans in our civilization: what would it REALLY be like for a furry in our world? Having to wear clothing on top of thick fur? The ever-popular "tails and doors don't mix"? Or having tails and wearing pants at all; or tails and chairs with no tail-holes? Being in a stinky crowd with an animal's enhanced scent? Or: being the manager of a hotel that caters to all sentient animals, predators and prey, of all sizes? (Think Zootopia.) Funny-animal stories will be accepted, but try to make it a genuine anthro-animal story, not one that would work just as well if the characters were all humans. Also remember that "funny" is not the same thing as "silly", although if you can make it both, go ahead. (What is the anthro equivalent of a pie in the face? Remember that most mammals besides humans and horses don't sweat.) We will NOT accept: Racism, sexism, or discrimination presented in a positive light. Pedophilia or sex with characters under the age of 18 presented in a positive light. Rape, torture, dubious consent, forced seduction presented in a positive light. Snuff or Necrophilia presented in a positive light. If you are in doubt, ASK. Better to ask then to get an outright rejection! You can submit up to three stories, but we will only accept one per author (if any)....
