Signal boost: short story anthology seeking submissions

[tricksterquinn]

Lethe Press is putting an anthology together for Daughters of Frankenstein: Lesbian Mad Scientists, with an extended due date of 6 months out (July 31, I guess? Original due date was Jan 31). You can read more info at Melissa Scott's post hereIt sounds like they've gotten a disproportionate number of submissions about reanimating a dead lover, so

I already submitted, but now I'm feeling the urge to go full Mad Scientist trope. Secret agent, world domination... Dr. Horrible with a lesbian bent. ::makes note::

I WOULD LOVE THIS. Basically everyone should write a version of that story. ALL THE VERSIONS EVER.

[geonncannon]

That was basically my thought when I heard the anthology's focus. "Are you sure you want to compete with the thousands of other anthologies on this subject? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ONLY ONE?" ;)

Awesome. I have to admit that my first idea would be less re-animating a dead lover, and more giant armies of grasshoppers. Maybe it's just me.

[tricksterquinn]

Oh man, giant armies of grasshoppers! Do want!

Mad scientists are the BEST.

edited for icon, clearly.

All right. That's a 2700-word draft epistolary lesbian mad science romance. With GIANT MIND-CONTROLLED GRASSHOPPERS.

I'll show them! I'll show them all! But not until after the first pass edit.

I just.... ♥s. So many ♥s

Also, I'm not seeing anything about the extended deadline--are you sure?

[tricksterquinn]

Let me double-check... I didn't see anything on their site either, but Melissa knows the people in charge over there, so I trust her.

Even so, I'd be more comfortable if it was in writing somewhere official.
