Deadline: January 20th, 2018 Payment: $30 SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN until JANUARY 20, 2018 for Enchanted Conversation’s February 2018 Issue Theme: Un rêve d'amour (A Dream of Love) Love can be magical or tragic; star-crossed or end happily ever after; an unrequited longing or two souls that always find one another. Enchanted Conversation is looking for stories, poems, art, and sequential art (aka comics) that explore different aspects of "love" in a fairy tale, folklore, or mythic setting. Work can either be re-tellings of established stories or about original characters set within the fairy tale, folklore, and mythic templates. What if a witch’s curse backfires and turns into true love? Did Medusa love Perseus before her tragic end? Why does the Land long for the touch of the Sea? Can the cold heart of a trickster be warmed by one who out-tricks him? Be bold, traditional, lyrical, or experimental in your storytelling. Think beyond palaces, princes, and princesses in their usual context. Take readers on a journey to long ago Japan, an enchanted forest in Russia, or magical root bridges in India - where the stage is set for characters to tell their unique tales of love. WE'RE LOOKING FOR STORIES: between 700 - 2,500 words. Payment $30.00 US dollars only POEMS: any length Payment $10.00 US dollars only ART: varied medium - i.e. watercolor, digital, etc. Payment flat rate $15.00 for 1-3 pieces US dollars only SEQUENTIAL ART/COMICS:1 to 5 pages in length Payment flat rate $30.00 US dollars only PAYMENT WILL BE MADE THROUGH PAYPAL ONLY Absolutely none of the following: Sci-fi, dystopian, erotica, high fantasy, excessive world building, time-travel, futuristic, or space travel.
