Looking for fiction writers

In perpetuating the world of geekishness, My wife and I started our own publishing company and are looking for fellow geeks to contribute to issue #2 of our annual short story anthology - Con(viction): Anthology of the Con. We pay too, not much (yet) but we do pay.


In a nutshell, we're looking for stories by convention attendees, for convention attendees (or anyone else who enjoys the hobby). If you've never been published before, that's OK. Now is your opportunity to give your a-bit-off-the-wall story a shot. Your story could be about The Con or take place at one, but this is not a requirement. The convention types we're looking for include: gaming, comics, anime, steampunk, renaissance, horror, and the like. Obviously we're looking for genres that include: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, steampunk, etc.


Conventions with authors making an appearance in Con(viction) issue #1:
Animation & Comics Fair, Beijing, China
Arisia – Boston, Massachusetts
Con on the Cob – Hudson, Ohio
KillerCon – Las Vegas, Nevada
Marcon – Columbus, Ohio
New York Comic Con – New York, New York
Ottawa Comiccon - Ottawa, Ontario
Tehran International Short Film Festival, Tehran, Iran
ZomBcon International – Seattle, Washington

What's Your Darkness?

Have you read "Bimbos of the Death Sun"? Nice short murder mystery often given to actors on their way to their first con so they can have some idea what to expect from sci-fi con goers.

Debbie Viguie lives somewhere in FL. She writes books and is on the local SciFi convention circuit. Maybe you can ask her?
