Calls for Submissions and Etc

 

Call for Submissions: Faking Out Zine

Ever faked an orgasm? Has your partner ever faked? Fake orgasms can be a tool, especially for women, to get out of situations they start to feel uncomfortable in. But what else can they be? How do YOU feel about the possibility of faking orgasms?
If you’ve ever ruminated on these issues, you may want to think about submitting to Faking Out: A Zine About Orgasms and (Not) Keeping Them Real. Send stories of fakery of up to 500 words to [email protected].
Deadline: February 28th.

Call for Submissions: Chupa Cabra Press

I won’t lie, I really liked the name and ethos of this press so I included it. They are hosting a call for submissions for their upcoming anthology titled Short Story Culture. The theme is weird westerns – duels with the devil, robot cowboys, or vampire saloon girls. Any genre is accepted as long as there is an overarching Old American West/Cowboys/Native American theme.
