NeaDNAthal

A project of Fringeworks (see other related projects).

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

About

As the title suggests, we are looking for stories which involve the reappearance of Neanderthal Man in the modern age. A sort of Jurassic Park for cavemen. NeaDNAthal is specifically geared to attracting Science Fiction (SF) stories. Stories can be contemporary, set in the recent past (as far back as the Victorian age), or set any time in the future. They should revolve around the return of Neanderthal man, possibly by DNA recreation, and should take account of the impact such a reappearance may have, either upon the neanderthals, society, or both. We are looking for new and original stories with surprising elements. Be clever but most of all be unique. We expect this anthology will appeal to writers of Science Fiction.
