 SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  December 31, 2010 Midnight (EST)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Arr Matey, we be searching for treasure of Pirate tales and their notorious misdeeds. These pirates can be on Earth, another planet, or a different world altogether. Most all genres acceptable-including but not limited to horror/scifi/fantasy/suspense-as long as the story fits the pirate theme. This is a collection of stories to be enjoyed by everyone, please keep excessive cussing and sex out unless integral to your character.

WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR:

Slash and hack, blood and gore for their own sake. Graphic rape, torture, child molestation, and animal torture have their place, but not here.

Shiver me timbers or walk the plank to meet Davy Jones.

We prefer stories written in the third person—will consider first person if you knock our socks off.
