The Sexpunk Spunk Anthology - Submissions (open)
Sexpunk Spunk Anthologies Submissions Information
Sexpunk / Sex-fi
Portmanteaux of ‘sex’ and ‘cyberpunk’ and ‘sex’ and ‘sci-fi’ respectively.
Fiction set on gritty, fast-paced, furious and alien worlds, wherein racy, hardcore sex with aliens, monsters, cyborgs, mutants, robots and similar agents is as central to its nature as the technology also inherit in the genres.
Not to be taken seriously, sexpunk/sex-fi is outrageous, over-the-top entertainment.
I am looking for…
original, hard-hitting, fast, hyperviolent, sexual, x-rated fiction with strong characters and plot.
Think sex with aliens/robots/AIs, dogfights, street fights, fight bites, bite fights, virtual wars, tentacle sex, black holes, wormholes, shaved holes, intergalactic criminals, mad scientists, futanari/hermaphrodites, body mods, transhumans, vore, post-apocalyptic worlds, destruction, dystopia, gleaming towers, utopia, death, mayhem, insanity, computer viruses, hedonistic cults, retro-futures, flying cars, extrasolar planets, Mars, and perversion… for starters. Then mix it all together with whatever the hell the opposite of ‘political correctness’ is and the glitz and glam of the 80s (okay, that part is optional).
In other words… KNOCK ME ON MY ASS. NOTHING IS TOO ORIGINAL FOR THIS ANTHOLOGY. NOTHING IS TABOO (with the exception of Hate). I do not freak out over words or ideas. I cannot stress this enough. I don’t care what you submit as long as you don’t bore me.
I am not looking for…
A house in Snoresville. I will turn down fan fiction (reworking of copyrighted material), reprints, excerpts from your upcoming novel, simultaneous submissions, vampires, werewolves, zombies, superheroes, or religious themes/undertones.
