Dropped by The Dead Mule today and discovered that they've posted another round of short stories. Part of the joy of The Dead Mule is reading the author's Southern Legitimacy Statements, then diving into the stories they've written. Some of the titles, like The One-Armed Man, Shark Teeth, and Ode to the Waffle House just draw you in. http://www.deadmule.com/
Noticing that they also have a blog at The Dead Mule, I clicked on over and discovered a link to a Flash Fiction contest and a new ( to me ) zine. The contest is being sponsored by Gemini Magazine. There's no fee and the deadline is August 31 for stories 1000 words or less. Top prize is $100 and publication in the October issue. Three honorable mentions will also be published and all other entries will be considered for publication.
Gemini seems to be open to whatever story strikes a cord with the editors so they're wide open content wise. The first story I clicked on was a PI story. You can find the details for the contest here http://www.gemini-magazine.com/contest.html The zine is also open to regular submissions so check out their guidelines and stroll through the archives while you're there, they're a non-paying market.
