of your enemy? What acts to enforce society's norms and catch those violating
them in the future? Will our definitions of crime—or punishment—change, and
what new forms of either might appear?

Description: “Literary adventure fantasy”: stories with a
secondary-world setting and some traditional or classic fantasy feel, but
written with a literary approach. We want stories set in what Tolkien called a
“secondary world”: some other world that is different from our own primary
world in some way. It could be different in terms of zoology (non-human
creatures), ecology (climate), or physical laws (the presence of magic). It
could be set on Earth but an Earth different from our primary world in terms of
time (the historical past) or history (alternate history). It could have a
“pre-tech” level of technology, or steampunk technology, or magic as
technology, or anything else that’s not advanced or modern technology. However,
the setting should contain some element that is in some way fantastical.

Description: Fiction that challenges
human centered narratives, that forces us to confront our place in the
universe, that makes us question: Who are we? Why are we here? Is there a
purpose? Historically, weird fiction has best captured this goal. However, we
are willing to accept submissions from speculative, horror, and literary
writers that meet the above criteria.
