We take fiction in the following genres:

+ Horror, including erotic Horror

+ Science Fiction, including SF Romance

+ Fantasy (High, Low, Urban, and Dark)

+ All the -punks (Steampunk, Bronzepunk, Clockpunk, Dieselpunk, Atompunk, CyberPunk, and post-Cyberpunk)

+ Erotica, any combination including menage. QUILTBAG stories encouraged. BDSM and multiple-partner stories also encouraged.

+ Non-fiction on a case-by-case basis. Craft books, cookbooks, and game source books welcomed.

+ Christian Inspirational

+ Young Adult

+ Cross-Generational Incest as titillation. It may be a formative plot point for the characters, but may not be explicitly shown.

+ Underage characters in sexual situations.

+ Necrophilia. This is defined as sex with the dead who cannot consent. Vampires or other forms of undead are considered capable of consent.

+ Explicit Bestiality. Werewolves and other shifters are considered capable of consent, even in shifted forms.

+ Gratuitous Violence

+ Feces or Vomit play

+ Snuff. Killing a partner during sex is deeply discouraged outside the erotic horror category.

+Rape. While rape is an act of power and violence, fictional lines of consent can be much blurrier. Non-con and dub-con, where consent is given every way but verbally, are acceptable. Eroticized rape is not. Rape scenes should express the violation and awfulness of the act.
