Fantastic Stories of the Imagination is a new online zine that publishes Science Fiction and Fantasy stories of any length. Pay here is 15cents a word with a max of $500. They also accept reprints and pay a flat fee of $25 for those. There is an issue up now so you can read the stories and get a feel for what the editor is looking for. You can find all the details here.
Hat tip to Coffintree Hill!

That's quite an extraordinary word rate. Makes me wonder if I could possibly write something that would be accepted.
Yes, it is, Manuel. I read his editorial for this issue and he's been planning this project for a while so I expect he's set aside the funds to be able to do this.
Sent a piece; got a rejection in just four days. That's an impressively fast turnaround.
It certainly is. I've had a story out to an anthology call since May and still haven't heard back (sigh).
I can handle rejection just fine; waiting and waiting is worse. Come to think of it, I've had a radio script out for ... let's see ... seven and a half months, with no reply or acknowledgement. And that's to a non-paying market. (If you know of a paying market that accepts unsolicited radio scripts, I'd love to hear about it.)
Haven't run across one lately, Manuel, but I'll keep my eyes open for one.
