Call For Submissions

Two new calls for M/M anthologies — Scars & Tattoos!
Publisher: Storm Moon Press
Editor: S.L. Armstrong

CARVED IN FLESH
Deadline: April 27, 2012
Expected Release Date: September 14, 2012

People often say that the true perfection in the human form is in its imperfections. Scars are visceral reminders of a person's past, a sign of an event that can never fade. Whether it was gained in combat, a traumatic experience, or part of a ritual with a lover, scars are the ultimate labels. In Storm Moon Press' Carved in Flesh anthology, we're looking for short stories in which at least one character sports physical scars. These scars can be injury/trauma scars or decorative scars, but they must be noticeable: visible to the naked eye, and prominent enough to spark a conversation. Emotional scarring doesn't count. That's cheating.

The scars must also be the erotic focal point of the story. We want red-hot scenes between men, be it a contemporary sub's first scarification session or the survivor of an intergalactic war enjoying some scar-worship after his homecoming. Are your character's scars a mark of possession? Shame? A part of their life they would rather forget? An HEA or HFN ending is required. No leaving your scarred character battered and broken, please. Whatever they have been through, we want to see them have at least a little respite with a partner who adores their scars.

Genres: Any
Pairings: M/M
HEA or HFN Ending Required

WRITTEN IN FLESH
Submission Deadline: April 27, 2012
Expected Release Date: September 14, 2012

There's nothing hotter than a man with tattoos. He might get them to commemorate a lost loved one, celebrate an event, or just to look bad-ass, but there's no doubt the man enjoys showing off his ink. At least, that's what some characters in the Written in Flesh anthology will think. When confronted with a tattooed man, these guys just won't be able to resist. Tribal, classic black and white, or elaborate colored artwork spanning the entire back, each mark has a story, and we're looking for you to relate those stories with an erotic flare.

The genres for this anthology are completely open. We will accept submissions about the incubus who tattoos himself for each lover instead of making notches on his bedpost, the pirate sporting tattoos that mark him as infamous, or even the bold man who lets his tattoo artist lover mark the length of his cock. So long as the tattoos are at the center of the character's sexual attention and everyone ends on a positive, HEA/HFN note, feel free to have fun with your story! Show us those Chinese dragons, skulls, and tribal barbed wire!

Genres: Any
Pairings: M/M
HEA or HFN Ending Required
