STEAMPUNK!

I will not talk myself out of this one: Steampunk Anthology Contest

So I've been blitzing the nets for inspiration in things steampunk.

A lot of these links fall under "things to read later." What I need is my cast of characters. I have a rough idea of what I want to do, really rough. More setting than plot at this point.

Tin Man fill-out form

Warnings: please DO NOT warn for slash or het, this should be made apparent in the characters/pairing line

Recced because: a few sentences on why you are reccing this story

Posting here until I can actually fill it out. In the mean time, how the hell do you contact anyone inside LiveJournal without a LJ account?

*Grumbles about sending an email should be required*

Finally got some free time to fill this out appropriately. So I will probably have to edit the first chapter on FF.net when I get home. *Sigh*

Story: Tin Man: Dragons and Ninjas
Author: KLCtheBookWorm
'Verse: Tin Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Legend of Zelda
Rating: Mature
Author's summary: Five months after the Eclipse, Longcoat attacks and dragon sightings terrorize the population, so DG and her companions set out to save the O.Z. again and cross paths with a Slipper on a mission of his own.
Characters: DG, Cain, Glitch, Raw, Zack Baker, Jeb Cain, Azkadellia, the Queen. Pairings: DG/Cain
Warnings: Uses original characters from author's TMNT and Zelda fanfiction, but you really don't need to read them to know what's going on.

Thesis Contenders

So I finally found somebody else in the English department working on a Creative Writing thesis. (That I don't get to socialize with these people is my defense, and I'm sticking to it.) Thesis runs about 70 pages and you have to have enough stories to fill that. And the stories all have to fit a theme that you get to defend.

*TWITCH*

So any ideas on a common theme between any of these?

• The Blue Man on the Porch
• Covenant of the Restless
• Gingerbread Girl
• Phantom Hitchhiker
• Strix short story
• Underneath the Colored Lights
• Zy's vacation story

Possible market

Pseudopod, a horror audio zine that pays

Also has a sister site for fantasy and science fiction: The Escape Pod

Love the play on podcast. :)

Noctem Aeternus

This is a new horror zine. I thinkthe Highwayman hitchiker story I wrote might work as a submission.
