Found Treasure

I love finding a new site and clicking on links - you just never know what you'll find. This morning I found three new flash markets. They're non-paying as most online flash sites are but by the looks they've been publishing for quite a while and on a daily basis. And the sites are beautifully done.

First up is "Weird Year" http://www.weirdyear.com and they've got a pretty wide selection of genres from UFO stories to dark cross genre and everything in between. They're looking for flash up to 1000 words with a sweet spot of 500 to 800. You can find all the details at http://www.weirdyear.com/2009/09/submission-guidelines.html

"Yesteryear Fiction" is a fantasy site. They'll take shorts up to 4000 words but their sweet spot is 1000 words. http://www.yesteryearfiction.com/2009/10/submission-guidelines.html

"Daily Love" is looking for, you guessed it, love stories. No X-rated or blood and gore, they want romance. They will take stories to 4000 words but here again the sweet spot is 1000. http://www.dailylove.net/2010/03/submission-guidelines.html

I also found a site dedicated to shorts that have "passed the test of time". You'll find work by the likes of Thomas Hardy, Ambrose Bierce and H.P. Lovecraft. The site is called "Revitalit" http://revitaliterature.blogspot.com
