Taking Submissions: Swept Under the Fur Rug
Deadline: October 1st, 2020 Payment: $10 Theme: This erotic horror anthology challenges you to come with a creepy but sexual narrative of furry characters transforming into objects. Swept Under the Fur Rug Deadline: October 1, 2020 Editor: Thurston Howl Word count: 2,500-8,000; a little above and a little below will be acceptable Furries and transformation narratives go hand in hand. Look at Bill Kieffer’s The Goat or Ajax Coriander’s Altered States for samples. But what is seldom written about are furry characters transforming into objects. This erotic horror anthology challenges you to come with a creepy but sexual narrative of furry characters transforming into objects. We want to see characters turned into fur rugs where the ex screws their new partner on top of them, toppy wolves who are too aggressive turned into living adult toys for their partner’s pleasure at choosing the pace, and homophobic furs who refuse to touch their partner’s dick turned into a chastity cage. The possibilities are endless! TIP FROM THE EDITOR: When I’m selecting the stories, the first thing I’ll do is weed out pieces that don’t match the brief. So make sure what you’ve written is 1. horrific, 2. erotic, 3. furry, and 4. involving a transformation from a furry to an object. Then I’ll select from there. So make sure you have all the required elements before submitting. Or else...you might be swept under the rug yourself. 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 a straight up rejection! If you are unsure, just shoot...
