About

This is an annual "best of"-type reprint anthology so we want only material published in 2008. (No original stories.) E-published material is acceptable, but please -- no self-published fiction! We are looking for stories from all branches of sf/f that also include a strong "romance" element or, conversely, romance that is fantastic, supernatural, paranormal, futuristic, etc. Definitions are ambiguous. If in doubt, send it. Erotic romance and alternative sexuality are acceptable but the emphasis must be on well-written stories.
