Opportunity Window Gold Star Program Gold Star

OPPORTUNITY WINDOW is an anthology of time loop fiction edited by Merc Wolfmoor and is seeking both original and reprint stories for publication in 2027.

LENGTH:

2,000 to 6,000 words for original (unpublished) stories. [A hundred words over/under the threshold is just fine, I just don't want to see stories excessively outside the limits, please!]

Reprints of any length up to 10,000 words.

PAYMENT:

Original stories will be paid a flat rate of $200USD.

Reprints will be paid a flat rate of $25USD.

Authors will each receive (1) copy of the ebook.

Stories MUST feature a time loop of some description as a central component (i.e. characters can't simply talk about time loops once and then the plot is entirely focused on something else). You do not need to explain the time loop, but it must be present and affect the characters and the story.

What defines a time loop?
"The time loop or temporal loop is a plot device in fiction whereby characters re-experience a span of time which is repeated, sometimes more than once, with some hope of breaking out of the cycle of repetition."

Science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres are welcome. Humor is great!
