Beneath Strange Stars Anthology A project of TL;DR Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2019). We provide the following information as an archive. About TL;DR Press is proud to announce Beneath Strange Stars, an anthology of science-fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction short stories and poetry, to benefit charity. We are asking for submissions from writers around the world who have a story to tell and want to help a great cause. We would like to hear about aliens from a distant world. A knight defending a castle. A unicorn creating an army of robots. Super-powers in a gritty urban setting. And of course, anything in between and beyond. High or low, soft or hard, we are looking for interesting stories that push these fantastical genres out of this world.
