Anthology call: "First published in 1895, The Time Machine by Herbert George (H.G.) Wells is a blueprint for science fiction and horror that persists to this day: underneath the science and the theories that attract a reader's mind, there is an underlying story of a person who struggles with the question that burns in the heart of every man: what does it all mean? Well, now we have a chance to find out. Northern Frights Publishing is looking for stories inspired by The Time Machine. Stories that delicately reach into our past. Stories that boldly stride into the future. And everything in between. Send us your stories of paradoxes and contradictions, show us what happens when we mess with our timelines or create new ones. Take us to the edge of the dying earth millions of years in the future. Show us its birth. Most importantly, though, show us the people affected when we rip through the walls of the fourth dimension." Deadline: December 31, 2009. Prefers unpublished work. Pays: "$0.01US (One Cent) per word up to $50.00, and one contributor copy, paid on publication through Paypal." Update: Thanks to practicing writer Lawrence Schimel for pointing out to me that the publisher's guidelines show a call for a second Wells-related anthology, too.
