    • Choose an image you would like to write a story about.
      • This will stay open until I have enough stories so do not automatically pick "werewolves" or "vampires" because I don't want 12-25 werewolf/vampire stories in the slushpile. Pick something interesting.
      • Don't steal an image of the cards. I will buy images for the story posts once the issue is set.
      • Write your stories and submit it the usual way (see below).
      • My hope is to have enough good stories collected by the end of this year or beginning of 2022 to select for the issue.
      • Knowledge of tarot is not required but will make for interesting stories. Add your own twist (twyst) to tarot.​

• My Job is a Hellhole!
  • Working for demons, imps, devils, and other minions of hell. Your boss is a denizen of the underworld, but the story can take place in any setting. Any setting means: hell, another planet, Modern Earth, Future Earth. Heaven? Sure why not? Maybe there's an employee exchange program between heaven and hell.
  • I'm looking for fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, humor (oh HELL YES) and science fiction if you can come up with a science fiction-y hellscape.

Microfics (350-749 words) will pay at a $5 per story rate for original, previously unpublished stories.  Will consider publishing a couple of drabbles for this, at $1 per drabble.
  • Reprints accepted for this one, $10 for shorts, $5 for flash, $3 for micro. No drabble reprints.
