One of the things I love about stopping by Duotrope is their random market spots. Today's random market was Sub-Lit and if you're writing for A Twist of Noir or ThugLit this one will be right up your alley. There's no pay and they only publish three times a year. Right now they're looking for subs for their August issue. The word count is flexible from flash to 5000 words. They'll look at 7000 but as they say, people don't want to sit glued to their computer screen reading that long. You can find the guidelines here http://www.sub-lit.com/guidelines.html
And if you want to know what they're looking for in a story read "Trashcan Special" by Derek Nikitas. http://www.sub-lit.com/nikitas.html If you're offended by foul language you might want to skip this one, but I found myself laughing my ass off by the time I was done reading. They're not looking for your mother's stories here.
Ralan.com has revamped their website and it looks pretty cool. Over there I found a web site called Scribblers & Ink Spillers. They're starting up a new magazine called Emerald Tales and its another themed one. This time the theme is "Follow the Butterflies", word count to 4000 with a July 1 deadline, with a flat rate of $40 per story. And there's no specifics about what kind of story they're looking for. They'll also be looking for Novellas and longer works in the future. You can find their guidelines here www.scribblersandinkspillers.com/submissions.html They also have a blog http://scribblingseasprite.blogspot.com/ that you should check out to see how serious they are about this project.

Chhers for that! Sub-lit looks like my sorta thing.
I rather thought it might suit some of the writers who drop by even though its not specifically crime based.
