A new batch of prompts and themes to explore! Most of them seem to be speculative in nature.

Looks like there are two new subgenres too: lunarpunk and solarpunk. Dare I guess? These involve the sun and the moon?

Some of the themed calls are: Medusa; maps & biomes; preteens; the sea; wildfire; solarpunk; lunarpunk; prehistories; after the Gold Rush; human monsters; madam president; vacant spaces; and war. Also see this list for more themed calls, and this list of speculative fiction calls; a few deadlines are coming up.

Right? I guess non-themed horror publications are the thing to search for there.

I mean, the specificness of some of these surely means these zines receive relatively few submissions. I could totally be wrong, but it seems like we'd have to be really fast writers or have early-early knowledge of these themes to be able to get stories to them on time.

Anyway...
