Mythica Publishing is starting up a new zine called Tears for the Void. They're looking for sci-fi stories of 500-9000 words with a token payment of $1. You can find the details here http://tearsforthevoid.com Hat tip to Paul Brazill for the link.
From Cynthia Sterling's marketing letter we have two paying markets for romance and erotica writers.
Grassroots Publishing is launching New Love Stories http://grassrootsmag.com/submissions.html They're looking for short stories 3000 to 5000 words in length with a flat rate of $300 a story. They're also accepting poetry and paying $50 to $75 per poem.
Speak Only to Me is doing erotic audio stories for women. http://www.speakonlytome.com/writeforus.html They're paying 10 cents a word for shorts of 1500 to 4000 words. They're also seeking novels of 10 to 15 chapters of 2000 to 3000 words to serialize with payment negotiable.
And CrimeSpree is open to submissions during the month of July, you'll find their url in the print section to the left.

New Love Stories published their first issue earlier this year, so the launch has already happened. I've seen copies at Books-A-Million, know a couple of writers who've been published within its pages, and one of my stories is tentatively scheduled for the September/October issue. So it is--at least for now--a viable market.
Thanks for the info, Michael!! And congrats on the sale.
As always, thanks, Sandra. I would love to try my hand at erotica but I think I forget how.
Yeah, I know the feeling. I've tried my hand at writing romance stories but my idea of romance and what everyone's vision of romance is are two very different things.
