Extinct Doesn't Mean Forever Anthology Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Think about it. Just how really "gone" are species when we can still study their bones, their pictures, the imprints they made on this earth? Why are we so fascinated by their past existence and why do we mourn their loss? What would it have been like to run with the last of the mammoths? What is it like to fight governments for dwindling habitat or confront a poacher for his prize? What will the future hold for third-world countries if all the bees should die out? Perhaps your story will envision rewilding Siberian tigers today or saving them through genetic engineering tomorrow. Perhaps it will examine flood geology of the past or look to the day the megavolcano simmering beneath Yellowstone Park finally erupts. It could be revisionist history where a fateful asteroid strike 65 million years ago never happened and mammals were hunted by the reptiles to extinction. Or it could be the story of a modern-day Dian Fossey risking all to protect a dying breed. Whether set in the past, present or future, as long as your story's theme touches on the subject of extinction, it's welcome.
