Call For Submission

[Cheryl A. Bellucci]

"Leaps Unbound" is now accepting submissions for our second issue.
This 'zine will contain two sections: The first will be of traditional
stories that follow the standard QL format. The second section will
be subtitled "Out of Bounds" and will deal with stories outside the
1953-1999 time frame. Specific guidelines for that are listed below.

General Guidelines:
-------------------
- Stories must be PG-13. We're keeping this adult, but no slash or hard
stuff please.
- Crossovers with any universe are allowed, but the story must stand on
its own as a QL story.
- If you're sending hardcopy only, make it typed, double-spaced with
page numbers at the bottom and the title as a header.
- Disk formats accepted (please send a hardcopy also):
IBM: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, WordPerfect, or ASCII
Macintosh: ClarisWorks, MacWrite II, Microsoft Word, or text
- Art submissions: send camera-ready copies (no originals, please.

Hardcopies and disks can be mailed to:

Pink Roses Press
c/o Newsletters To Go
P.O. Box 340058
Dayton, OH 45434-0058

- We highly encourage electronic submissions. If you are on America
Online, CompuServe, GEnie, Internet (or *any* electronic service with
an Internet mail gateway) submissions can be emailed to
bell...@fsp.fsp.com.

- Although we won't automatically exclude stories that have appeared
on alt.ql.creative or any other electronic bulletin board or service,
we are looking for stories that have not previously appeared on any
medium.

** The deadline for submissions is November 1, 1994 **

OUT OF BOUNDS
The above applies to "Out of Bounds" as well, but there are some
additional guidelines for this section as well:

- The leaps must be set outside Sam's "normal" leaping range; that is, not
between August 8, 1953 or the year 2000.

- Please don't try to come up with a quasi-pseudo-scientific explanation
for how he got there (like they *tried* to do in "The Leap Between the
States." Just leap him back there (or ahead there), accept it, and
move on with the story.

- Please allow Ziggy to access the information Sam needs normally. That
is to say, if he's leaped far into the past or ahead into the future,
allow Ziggy to have no more difficulty getting the original histories
than if Sam had leapt into, say, the sixties. Whatever problems
Ziggy might have on the leap shouldn't necessarily be related to where
in time Sam is.

original, unaltered form.
