About

From Farscape to Deadwood, Firefly to Marion Zimmer Bradley’s epic Darkover series, little inspires our imaginations—and our passions—more than a frontier. Colony ships, space stations, the Wild West, the Australian gold rush, the uncharted oceans . . . wherever and whenever your characters may be, they are many and varied, intimately entwined, and utterly dependent on one another for survival. Big casts, nosy neighbors, lawmen who make their own laws, corrupt officials, whole cities cut off from the higher powers—and the niceties and conveniences—of civilization. Show us your best, your worst, your most difficult, your most exciting. Bring us the excitement of new worlds and the drudgery of deprivation and isolation. Past or future, real or speculative, bring us gossip and backstabbing, teamwork and revelation, good guys versus bad guys and man versus the untamed wilds. And whatever you do, bring us there with you in full color—engage our senses and our imaginations.
