Gacela & CJ: BsW doesn't pay and they sometimes even re-print. I had a story that did pay, "The Deer Hunt" published under the nom d'plume, John Drake, that they published--actually to my surprise. I sent it for the editor's enjoyment, thinking it was in violation of their guidelines. (It uses a lot of swear words.) You retain the copyright, so you can publish the stories elsewhere, although, without revisions, they probably wouldn't be accepted. No subscription is required; you just go to the website and read. You'll find my stuff under "Rachel Parsons, author" in the archives (I think even the John Drake one is there.) They are semi-professional (based on their readership), encourage new writers, and are in the science fiction/fantasy/weird fiction genre. They have no absolutes, and have published even urban mysteries, as long as they are weird ("bewildering.") There are a lot of great writers there, and recurring series. I've recommended it to my friends and to people in other social media forums (like FB and SL). Except for one story, "The Gorgon," (see my tNBW bio), the evolution of Rhiannon can be seen there, as well as some other stories. In the Gorgon, she is not just cursed to nakedness, but to absolute beauty too--so people are overwhelmed by looking at her.
They used to have forums, like tNBW, but now just letters to the editor, and other special features. The editor/publisher is a retired English Professor, so he often has a feature which is like an online exam on certain stories. Just to provoke discussion and thinking about it. I came across it as I was looking for online e-zines (I guess that's redundant). Found it, someone who bought up the rights to Amazing, Fantastic, If, Galaxy, and a vampire magazine.
You can trace the escalation of some characters by reading this story. Rosalyn was a minor character at first, got her own story and was a major character toward the end of the original series. Jeb Hardwick was premiered in one of the stories. I would think of great titles back then too. "I Still Wake from Nightmares." "I draw Comfort from the Blood of my Enemies." "One Beast That Will Not be Tamed."
I'm hoping for new connections and to rekindle old relationships. I've just uploaded the first three chapters of Incarnate, my latest work, and would appreciate some feedback. I am happy to reciprocate.
