About

69FoP's tastebuds tend toward horror and dark fantasy. While horror is our favorite dish, we most love to serve it in a slipstream/cross genre stew. We love monsters and unknown beings of all types (just remember, though, there's a billion of 'em out there, so yours had better be tasty) and the contemporary/urban fantasy found in The Twilight Zone. LotR/Harry Potter-style fantasy, hard sci-fi and poetry are not particularly palatable to us, and we've been known to spit those pieces out before we finish chewing. Nothing particularly wrong with them, mind you, just not the textures we savor. 69FoP gives first consideration to short stories originally served up in small press 'zines prior to the turn of the century, though we will take a bite of anything published in any periodical through 2004. We will also accept original fiction, but if it's good enough to submit to 69FoP, it should be good enough to put out to the paying markets first. That said, if you really want your recipe associated with such a groovy title, and it has the right ingredients, toss it in our oven and see if it bakes...
