Thaneros Online Magazine - Public Service Announcement

It is with great regret that the following must be written. I only wish I could see better to type it up.

Ethan Thomas, the editor of Thaneros Online Magazine, has always been a group entity, one comprised of two writers sharing a pseudonym as well as intimate living space. One of those writers--namely myself--has received serious health news over the last week. I have learned that I need far more than a change in prescription to fix my recent eye difficulties; I am in the second stage of diabetic retinopathy, and the sight that has been lost may not return. This means that I must prioritize time spent on the computer, and at present the magazine takes up the majority of that time, leaving very little for writing itself. Given that this condition is generally progressive and that I am now suffering other diabetic complications as well, we have decided it best to focus on writing instead. Therefore, as of today, Thaneros Online Magazine is no more. While we plan to leave archived stories up for one year, as per our contracts, should any of our writers wish for their work to be removed we will do so immediately. Please--submit elsewhere. You write beautifully, and your work deserves to be read. Working with you was a greater pleasure than either of us can express.

Yours,
One Half of Ethan Thomas
Editor, Thaneros Online Magazine

Winterborn: Erotic Horror and Dark Fantasy

Thaneros seeks submissions to Winterborn, an anthology to be released in e-book format January 5, 2009.


Desired:

Original erotic horror and dark fantasy between 5,000 to 15,000 words. No reprints, no science fiction please. Query for longer, though chances are slim; no shorter works will be accepted. If you must use traditional monsters, use them in unconventional ways.

All sexual orientations will be considered, though incest, rape, pedophilia, skat, and snuff are out. Sex must occur during the story and must happen "on screen." Do not be afraid of curse words, but do not use them gratuitously. Choose the language and tone that flatters your story's setting, characters, and plot best.

Works that focus on the interplay between love and death or desire and pain are most likely to catch our eye, as will stories that take place during the darkest and coldest time of the year, from Halloween to Epiphany.


Payment: $15 US per 5K words, to a maximum of $45 US, plus a copy of the anthology.


Rights: First electronic rights, and the right to archive the story online for one year. All other rights remain with the author.


How to Submit:

One story at a time, please, sent via plain text e-mail to Ethan Thomas at thaneros@shaw.ca; attachments will be deleted unread.

Include the following in the subject line: [WINTERBORN SUBMISSION] Title / Author Name.

Reading commences September 1st. Expect a response by December 1st, 2008 at the very latest.


Deadline: October 31st, 2008. All anthology length submissions received after that time will be considered for future anthologies only.


Publication Date: January 5th, 2009.

This Week's Discussion Topic

When visiting a website that features a variety of sexual material, do you appreciate it when the fiction is labeled in some fashion? For example, a story labeled "Story Title - (M/M)" would contain gay elements. Drop us a comment here, or write the editor at thaneros@shaw.ca.
