Search for the Any Key Anthology A project of WolfSinger Publications (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (August 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. About This will be mostly action/adventure, but can be placed in any time period, on other planets or any type of setting. All genres accepted and may contain humor, drama, romance, etc. Diverse characters welcome, human or otherwise.The catch – no traditional keys accepted. If the characters don’t find the key, that’s okay.Example – on a certain TV show, characters were searching for forgiveness and the key to enter was tears of regret. Another film had a key as part of a puzzle box which opened several artifacts.Please think outside the box when writing these stories. The Why of the search is the most important point.
