A Call for Writers!

A Touch of Lace - Sixth Edition call for writers!

Welcome readers, writers, and photographers!

A Touch of Lace is a erotica magazine focusing on Bi & Lesbian women's erotic stories written by amateur writers in Second Life. Each issue will deliver stories that could come from anyone within Second Life. The goal is that this magazine provides those who either write or wish to write an opportunity to present stories to a wider audience.

This issue will focus on the world of Dominance and Submission and can even go into BDSM! Ever have a story idea that you'd like to share with others? Has the idea of being dominant or submissive been a turn-on? It really excited many readers and this is the perfect way to share in some erotic thoughts. If you, or someone you know has an original story, by all means, look it over, write it down, think it over and send it to me as a submission for consideration.

The editors review all stories and consider them for publication. We'll select 5 stories for publication and then the magazine will hit the stands for the world to see. Now, we can't offer any kind of pay as a reward at this time. But, it is my sincere hope that once this magazine finds a footing, I'll be able to pay the writers that are published as well as the photographers for each issue you appear in.

We're not going to be heavy into photography for the most part. Cover artwork will reflect the theme of each issue and I'll have a photograph of each writer and the photographers for each issue shown so we can all recognize the community that helps to make this publication a success.

Advertisers will be kept to a minimum. I only want to have people I know and wish to support listed within the magazine. That way, you know that there's something really of the highest quality when you read the stories, see the images and use the links within.

So -- the guidelines...

Story length should be between 1200 and 2000 words in general. This is a magazine, not a novel. If you have something that is significantly larger or smaller - please give some background on it and why it should be considered. This is a general guideline but it's also meant to keep consistency for the readers. Multi-part stories should not be submitted as the magazine will likely change subject from issue to issue which would wreck continuity.

Pictures are not accepted at this time. For consistency sake, please let the magazine take pictures. We want great text to be the focus of our writers.

The publisher and editor will make changes to your submission on an as-needed basis for flow and grammar.

Please, no real-names in the stories. No youth (under 18) or objectionable material. A Touch of Lace reserves the right to refuse to run any story it finds objectionable. Please send stories to me via notecard in-world or via my yahoo email account: lacie_babenco@yahoo.com

The Deadline for submissions is March 1st, 2009

Let's see what kind of talent there is in SL. If the topic of the issue isn't your bag, be patient, there will be future issues and I hope to cover a wide range of topics for everyone here in SL.

So to recap:
