Curst & Twysted Tarot

    - Short Stories (1500-2500 words) $15 on publication

  - https://www.istockphoto.com/search/stack/758110545?assettype=image
  - 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.
- Flash/shorts (750-1500 words. No MORE than 1500 words, no LESS than 750 words for flash, no more than 2500 words for shorts) for $10 per piece original, previously unpublished flash, shorts $15). Microfics (350-749 words) will pay at a $5 per story rate for original, previously unpublished stories.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.
- No poetry for this one.
- Submissions accepted from Dec 4, 2020 til March 31, 2021.
