D. L. King is looking for your kinkiest lesbian erotica, in fact, the
kinkier, the better.
What is taboo to one might be tame to another and one person’s vanilla
might be debauched and utterly kinky to someone else. Rope, handcuffs, wax,
needles, tattoos, collars, whips, rubber, leather, worship, degradation, power exchange,
butches, femmes, polyamory, food, shaving, phone sex, webcams, porn, role
play—I could go on, but I’m not here to tell you what to write.
What’s that story that you’ve always wanted to tell? That one you
thought might be just a little “out there,” the one your ex-lover told you
never to tell? Go on, you can tell me. Whisper it to me. I’ll never tell. At
least, I’ll never tell how it found its way into a book of dirty, kinky, sexy
erotica. So tell me something a little transgressive. Make it hot. Make me
squirm. Tell me just what happens when women come together, get down and dirty
and let the inhibitions go.
Tell me about pain and pleasure. I want to hear about toys and
implements, about hardware stores and sex shops, about corsets and trousers,
fingers and tongues. You know what
I want; I want something unspeakably erotic. But make no mistake, taboo, or
not, there are still some things I never want, so don’t send me stories with
underage characters, scat, or snuff. You know what to do: just make me
happy—and damp.
Stories should be between 2,500 and 4,500 words, double-spaced, 12 pt
Times New Roman. Please indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch
and do not include extra lines between paragraphs. No fancy fonts, no weird
sizes, no bizarre formatting, no strange colors. Do not put a cover sheet on
your story. You may send up to two never before published stories. I’ll want
exclusive rights for one year from the date of publication (with the exception
of “best of” anthologies), and then non-exclusive after that.
Send your story as a .doc attachment (NOT a .docx—if you don’t know how
to do that, ask) and include the title, pseudonym (if applicable) and your
legal name and mailing address to tabooantho@gmail.com. The subject line should
read: Submission: TITLE. Please include a 50-word bio. Direct any questions to
the same address. (If you are absolutely unable to send a .doc attachment, I
will accept an rtf. But I will not be happy about it.)
