SF Sisterhood Anthology by Chronners

[Serendipity]

Just to let you good people know, we lady chronners are still working on a science fiction anthology here in the writing forum. Stories must
- be between 3k and 15k word count
- be family friendly
- have a science eviction element
- subbed by close of play 30th June 2018, when they will then be critiqued by fellow contributors
- not sure when it'll be ready as this is strictly a voluntary project.

This anthology started out half in jest on another thread... the things I let myself in for! ... gentlemen chronners were welcome to do their anthology!

Edit: The thread for this anthology can be found in the writing groups!

 

[Onyx]

Good luck to you all on your anthology - cool project.

gentlemen chronners were welcome to do their anthology!

I had to chuckle a little at this - the ship has likely sailed on the "men's only" fiction anthology - at least an intentional one.

 

[Brian G Turner]

@janeoreilly - is this of interest to you?

Jane’s in on it

Stories must...
- have a science eviction element

Does that mean the science is shoved out the airlock?

Hey, that's me!

 

[Cathbad]

Can I buy it yet?

Pre-orders can be paid by wire transfer to my offshore account, $1000 per copy or three for $2500.

What a deal! Now, does anyone know how to wire transfer Monopoly money?

*counts loose change*

Huh! You're worried about loose change... I'm more worried if a short from the SF Sisterhood Anthology gets nominated for the BSFA shorter fiction award... like what happened to the first anthology I ever published (in 2017 before you ask)... you'd be surprised at what goes on behind the scenes - means a fair bit of work and nail-biting (in a nice sense).

 

[Mouse]

I've been on hol so have actually started thinking about this!

I've got nothing.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I've got the glimmering of an idea, which I've almost managed to forget already, but it's hanging in there. There may be hope.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Oh, sh*t. Mouse and Dusty are thinking of it. Deadline looms. Time to squeeze my brain. Ass on chair time.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

And since that was over two hours ago, Jo is done now.

 

[Juliana]

I...may have to write something new. It looks like the 'sci fi element' in my story might be a little too nebulous.

 

[Serendipity]

I'm about to nail mine with a couple of ice spears... nice sharp points and all that!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I have words! 1200 words! And a sci fi idea that's so, frankly, nebulous, poor Serendipity will be crying into her vodka.

 

[Kylara]

Well I woke up thinking I was a genius and then fully woke up and realised I had not in fact finished my story and had not won the Nobel prize for literature. Nor had I won a giant tortoise. Instead I have a dodgy idea with zero words written. Also very upset I didn't win a giant tortoise

 

[Serendipity]

I hasz storie... coming in at 10,265 words, but that may change by ± 1000 words on my polish edit (rather than structural edit). Yay!
