Call For Submissions: Coming Together - Arm in Arm in Arm...



Coming Together: Arm in Arm in Arm... is a collection of erotic fiction with a tentacle sex theme edited by Nobilis Reed. All proceeds benefit Oceana, the largest international organization working solely to protect the world’s oceans.

THE EDITOR'S CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Tentacle sex celebrates helplessness in the face of ravenous, remorseless, undeniable lust. I want to see stories with characters, settings, and plots. People change. The world is revealed. Things happen. They don't have to be deep, but they have to be there.

I want to see stories that stretch the boundaries of what defines tentacle porn. "Demon appears out of nowhere and rapes unsuspecting victim" is boring. Even hentai anime isn't doing that anymore. Give me more than that.

Stories set in any time period, setting, or sub-genre are fine. Any flavor of speculative fiction is fair game, and if you can figure out a way to do it with a contemporary setting, I'm good with that too!

I like funny stories, sad stories, angry stories, and thoughtful stories.  You can read some of my stories to get an idea of what I like; "In Her Arms" is free on DeviantArt plus there is the "Tentacle Dreams" anthology and "Incursion at Gene Bunker Four." I don't want to see a lack of exploration. I don't want vignettes that have no context or emotional foundation. I also don't want to see stories that don't deliver on their promises.

Stories should be between 2,500 and 7,500 words.  Exceptions will be made for outstanding stories. Previously published work is acceptable, but make sure that your right to submit the story for publication is clear.

Please submit .RTF or .ODT (open office) documents to authornobilis@gmail.com (cc: tentacle@eroticanthology.com) with "Submission for Coming Together: Arm in Arm in Arm" in the subject line. Questions can be sent to the same address.

This is a charity anthology, there will be no payment to the author or editor.  Instead, all proceeds will benefit Oceana, the largest international organization working solely to protect the world’s oceans.
