Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2017). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

We are seeking short stories written by established and upcoming writers from around the world with the theme of issues that the future will bring. What issue or thing that will change our society for the better or for the worse in the future? It is a “what if” question, beloved of writers everywhere. For example, what if we had cheap, affordable FTL drives? What if, what if, what if? The genre is sci-fi and all the sub-genres therein. Space Opera, cyberpunk, solarpunk, all the punks. Have fun with this and as always, the story is king!. We are looking for stories that explore the range that these genres allow.
