You know that Open Submission call for BDSM short stories?
Fuzzwolf tweeted about it, recognizing me as the editor. So, cat is out of the bag.
I don't want anyone to play favorites or anything, it's all strictly business. But I did want to talk about it a little bit.
There's very little stuff out that which is directly related to kinks. You have your occasional portfolio dedicated to say, tentacles, but beyond that, not really. Anthologies typically have either an orientation, a setting, or a catch all like "Life After High School".
I want to offer something that's related just to those kinks, and have something for everyone. Offer something for specific tastes, while otherwise allowing for ideas. So far I've received fantasy and sci fi stories, as well as contemporary. Gay, straight and bi. I want to see what the community can offer. I'd even advertise in BDSM writing circles, but those are harder to find.
Hopefully this will garner some attention and the book will sell nicely.
In the future I'd like to see other kink-related anthologies. For instance, I rarely see Transformation stuff out there, and I know that those who are into it are really into it. It might be interesting to see that.
The real challenge of the above is finding authors who are skilled writers in addition to being knowledgeable and creative with that kink.

I may take a crack at this. I need to get moving on some short stories.
I really hope this book turns out as well as you hope...the fandom needs more specifically-directed books. There really is a market for it.
Ultimately though, it just takes someone with the gumption to start the project. I started this one because I wanted to see it done (and because I wanted a place to publish another story or two).
I should get you two in touch.
