For your amusement, I thought I&#8217;d dredge up the original call for submissions that I sent to the <a href=\"http:\/\/writetotheend.com\/\">Write to the End<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dragon-writers.com\/\">Dragon Writers<\/a> groups way back in September of 2011:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>DOORWAYS TO EXTRA TIME<\/p>\n<p>In our busy world of meetings and microwaves, car radios and cellphones, you always hear people wishing they could get an extra hour in the day.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you could?<\/p>\n<p>DOORWAYS TO EXTRA TIME is an anthology that explores ways to get extra time (be it an hour, a day, or a decade) and the impact it would have (whether upon a single life, a family or an entire world).<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking for stories with a touch of the fantastic\u2014whether mystical, magical, mechanical, or just plain mysterious\u2014but they can be set in any time or any genre: contemporary or historical, science fiction or fantasy, horror or magic realism. We could even find a place for a nonfiction essay if it was truly exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>In short, show us something showstopping, and we\u2019ll make time for you.<\/p>\n<p>Suggested Length: full stories from 3,000 to 7,000 words and flash fiction under 1,000 words. We will accept good stories up to 10,000 words but it\u2019s a hard sell.<\/p>\n<p>Due Date: January 31st, 2012<\/p>\n<p>Editors: Anthony Francis and TBD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The theme&#8217;s still the same, but due date January 31st, 2012? <i><b>Really?<\/b><\/i> HAHAHAHA no. As you all probably know, the estimable <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anovelfriend.com\/\">Trisha J. Wooldridge<\/a> signed on as my coeditor and helped me make this a much stronger (and more diverse!) book.
