| Call for submissions — Kink in the Post-Self Setting |
What avenues does the life sys-side open up for exploring kink? What does forking get you? How about endless memory? Sensorium messages? What new kinks form and what other kinks fade away?
We are looking to pull together a collection of short stories exploring specifically the ways in which kink changes after uploading one's consciousness. While kink often includes or is intertwined with sex, your story need not include any sex — and conversely, this is not simply an anthology of erotica, but an exploration of kink. Here is a chance to pull apart a kink, discover what makes it tick, and then put it together in this lovely setting where even the concept of self is challenged.
The Details
- Word count
- Approximately 2,000–10,000 (please ask if you are planning on writing more; I may say yes!)
- Payment
- TBD — current thoughts are sharing the results of a Kickstarter campaign. All stories, regardless of whether they are accepted, are eligible to be included on the site as canon so long as everyone agrees.
- Submission format
- MS Word, LibreOffice, or Google Docs — basically, anything I can comment on. If you want to submit LaTeX or Markdown, good on ya~
- Submission Deadline
- Soft deadline: October 1, 2024 / Hard deadline: November 1, 2024
- Estimated publication date
- January 15, 2024
- Please include
- Your story, a list of CWs, and a short author bio

- "For Old Times New" or "Opportunity Paralysis" for how one can interact with one's body
- Gallery Exhibition for unique things that can be done in the setting's mechanics
- If you have read at Toledot or do not mind spoilers, "Shared Moment" for some explorations of sexuality's intersection with those mechanics
