julesjonesA couple of updates on submission guidelines at ERA that might be of interest:
Black Lace has changed the theme of one of the 2006 Wicked Words anthologies to "Paranormal Erotica" - deadline January 2007. 4000-6000 words, pay 200 pounds. Yes, that *is* two hundred pounds, not a typo, so great pay but a lot of competition.

SMUT magazine says it "generally pays fifty dollar per story" now -- it used to be exposure-only. However, their own website still suggests payment only for exceptional stories by names, so be wary.

Several other new and changed markets over the last week or so at ERA, and I am reminded that there's a webzine looking for m/m shorts, deadline in a couple of weeks. I should write something as a way of practicing writing under 2000 words, but I'm out of short story ideas at the moment, and the last "short" story I started in response to a call on ERA is currently approaching 10 kwords and likely to be novella length. (That's the Ipswich story I'm working on with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

500 words on the dolphin shapeshifter story yesterday and again today. I had an excuse for the low word count today, as I was at a publisher day on one of the romance loops, and Yahoo was being its usual horrible self, which meant that it was pretty much impossible to do anything else while trying to follow the posts and persuade it to post *my* meanderings.

There is definite "drawing on own experience" going on in this story now, and no I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about things like trailing round after a JCB in a cold wet foggy brownfield site collecting environmental samples...
