In much of science fiction, humans are seen as a boring spacefaring race, soft and weak. But what if we were the strange ones? A recent trend online has been exploring the many ways humans can be weird, and it is fascinating. Even on Earth, we do stand out in a number of ways, from our throwing ability to our endurance (we domesticated dogs because they could keep up with us). Maybe aliens would be taken aback by things we consider normal, like the capacity for eating poisonous things like caffeine. Maybe we unsettle them. Maybe we frighten them. Maybe there are far too many possibilities to explore in one novel!
This anthology will be free to submit to; submissions open in May. Full details are here, and the insider's circle for fundraising and additional content / mini-contests / free merch is here on Patreon. (The funds to pay writers and printer etc must come from somewhere, and this seemed the best way to handle that while making sure it's worth everyone's while. There will be a lot of good content.)
Ideal word count is between 1,500 and 5,000 words.
$25 per story, payable on acceptance.
(One story per author.)
Feel free to spread the word. Let's all embrace our weirdness together.
