New Market

Holly Lisle is putting together a new sort of online magazine project based primarily around serials, although with some shorter one-shot stories too, and with issues grouped into "seasons." She explains it better than I do. :) Anyway, it's called Rebel Tales, is starting off as an F&SF market, and she has the preliminary writer's guidelines up.

The guidelines are worth reading even if you don't plan to submit; she has a refreshingly blunt, take-no-prisoners attitude toward people who submit without following instructions, or without being able to write terribly well, or without knowing what SF or Fantasy actually are, or even what a story is. I got a few chuckles while reading.

Charles -- it's an interesting idea. I hope it works out for them, whether or not I (or you :) ) can get something together for it by the deadline.

Angie,

Thanks for this. Always interesting to see a new mag in the F&SF community (because so many of them have gone by the wayside, to put it mildly).

Nancy -- very true. I was bummed to see Realms of Fantasy fold recently; I have a couple of rejection slips from them, and had always hoped of making a sale there at some point. :/ It's definitely good to see new markets opening up, though, and I hope this one lasts. [crossed fingers]
