I noticed that you are accepting submissions for stories and I wondered if you were accepting reprints? You see, I have a book shelf filled with my previously published stories and I fear that they will mold away and my genius will be lost to the world. Not to mention that I could really use that $5 to assist in my carbonated beverage fund.

Thanks in advance for your reply,

-Glen Arundel

Well Glen, we do accept reprints on two conditions. Those conditions being that you currently own all the rights that we're buying and that you inform us of the previous publication history. That way we can credit them as well for having the wisdom of publishing your work first.

In your submission guidelines, you state that you enjoy obscure points of departure where the story hinges on what a minor Balkan nobleman did during the middle ages as an example. What story was that precisely? And where can I find it?

-Owen Arbutus

Heh-heh. We try to be clever and it bites us in the rear. We were kind of referring to the "Adventures of Conrad Stargard" a series of novels written by Leo Frankowski that hinge on a modern time-traveler who ends up in medieval Poland before the Mongolian Invasion. It sits on that border between science-fiction and alternative history. Now the clever reader is scratching their head and thinking, "Poland isn't the Balkans?" Indeed it isn't. The editor doesn't know much about Balkan history which is why he'd like to see it in a story.
