There are 38 themed submission calls and contests for writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Some of the themes are: joyful imaginations; deadly love; the dead inside (identity horror); untethered (magic horses); monsters; apocalypse; us/them; love, death, and androids; spirit machine; escapism; urban fantasy; fantastic fall; legendary kids; not the fellowship (Tolkien); and ancient worlds. Most calls are paying ones, and none of the contests charge an entry fee.

Time-sensitive. The themes make good prompts for practice writing too.

None of it fits things I have right now, but maybe someone else will find the right fit.

That’s either funny-sad or sadly funny.😂
