These are calls and contests for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Some of the themed calls are: tender; generations; incredible journeys; myths and fairy tales; outsiders; deadly women of the sea; and the still of winter.

That description is kinda short. Lots of options here for horror, Cthulu-type mythos, etc. and really random stuff.

Random? What does that mean, Raveneye?

Taco Bell, for instance. Yep, apparently Taco Bell has a quarterly magazine with stories and poems that mention Taco Bell and/or its food. WTF. That's all I have to say on that. WTF.

Anyway, here's the link to June's themed prompts:
