Sliptongue MATURE CONTENT

This project is believed to be defunct. (November 2016)

About

We are looking for literary fiction with erotic content: we are NOT an erotica "genre" magazine. Aside from being erotic, subject matter must occur within the realm of actual human experience and obey the laws of biology and physics (i.e., no SciFi, fantasy, monsters, et al). This is not to say we aren't receptive to horror and mystery stories -- simply that they must remain within the boundaries of the possible.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 21 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
