policy posted on fan fiction

I am detailed about fan fiction guidelines of my work and will allow it for Lake Fossil Only with the condition I get to publish it in The Ethereal Gazette. I am doing an anthology of real person horror featuring me as a character but I ask contributors to read Namesake II for the model story to this idea -- I want them to be straight up balls to the wall scary horror. Nothing sexual or slashy oriented -- I don't want to see male male romance, female-female romance, female female erotica, no trans shit either, or male male erotica. That is gross. The memoir is the source material for the fan fiction stories based off me, I want them written in the vein of Richard Matheson and Richard Christian Matheson. Intelligent and surreal is what I am looking for with one story being features on the blog with a page dedicated to the best story overall. I am not looking for anything resembling Andrew Wolter or Poppy Z. Brite. But I want stories to feel not out of place on Mike Philbin's anthologies he published over the years. I want the writers to be creative and have a full range of creativity with the dark subject matter. My trademark style is using real haunted places -- akin to In The Reflection Of A Lens. I am looking for help to format the book to publish it on creatspace.com but I am looking to work with Lulu.com -- my strict guidelines for the magazine are in effect for the anthology and the size I am going for is 260 pages. Think the publications I put out in the past and what I was featured in for examples here -- the suggested reads will be posted on this one blog entry too for those looking for help to get ideas for the stories. I am looking to pitch the anthology to fanfictio.net since I joined there nine years ago to play around with ideas that are unique to me but sneak great deals of originality in there--I got in trouble for being too original for fanfiction.net.
       I want to work with another editor to make this anthology work, something that needs a collaboration between two editors to make it happen. The weirder the stories and more surreal -- the better, I write with a lot of surrealism like Mike Philbin but it is more toned down. I am working on a short story right now that is another sequel and looking to send it off to a paying market. I am trying to convince Jordan Bobe to be the co-editor on this project because it's got some of the traits of Darkened Horizons: Issue 3's closing story. I can hold my own with Gabrielle Faust and Kevin Lucia in that anthology but that one had a lot of egos -- none of the writers involved got along except for Colin who appears in The Ethereal Gazette as the closing writer. I want to do something that has an oil painting for a cover like the namesake 2 has. I have the rules laid out for the masses here -- and want everyone to be on the same page when it comes to this pet project as an anthologist. I want to work with createspace or Lulu.com on this one. I want to publish the book in a 5.5 x 8.5 trade paperback. I want to do this as a print only anthology -- but I want to co-edit a kindle or nook only anthology too with another editor who can operate software on a desktop computer. Laptops are good for writing but when it comes to editing a publication it is hard as hell.
      I know my fans well in the business, they like to kick peoples asses -- they fight, drink beer, smoke cigarettes, pissed off and intelligent. I stole one of Poppy's fans with Library of Bones -- so I am looking for fan fiction based off that short story. It was published on HorrorMasters.com and it was one of my stronger stories I wrote in 2003 -- it got noticed by Nicholas Tillemans. I am looking for that kind of dark but not perverse. If you want to collaborate on the stories with another writer that is fine. I welcome collaborations. I published a collaboration between two brothers and they are billed as The Davis Brothers on the TOC. I published a writing team on The Ethereal Gazette: Issue One. I want to do more with collaboration teams as a publisher. I am trying to do this real person fan fiction anthology as an excise as an editor to train my eye to those who can stay faithful to my visions as a publisher. Tabloid Purposes broadscope was twisted horror and mind-bending Science Fiction but accessible enough to the teenager to shock their parents -- I wanted a cover where the parents will say, "What the fuck are you reading? At least you're reading books and not watching TV all the time." I like weird and surreal -- but nothing too pervers. I am co-writing a story with one of the contributors on the namesake one's reboot. I will be writing the introduction for this anthology where it will pay tribute to Richard Matheson and his influence on the writers in Tabloid Purposes IV and my story in the namesake one. The model for the fan fiction anthology is my story in namesake 2. I want nothing that would fit in the queer horror anthologies that are published out there or the erotica anthologies that are published in the small press. I want inventive not sleazy.
       I noticed that slash writers are little sleazy--and that is why The Fandom Writer seems to piss them off. The story is a swipe at Poppy Z. Brite in 2004 when I first wrote it -- I submitted the story for a contest but the judge was the editor of Queer Fear. My anthologies was the straight writers answer to that trend. I wanted writers who are straight and Christian. I was blessed to worked with Christian writers from the very beginning but I want something that wouldn't be too out of place in a bookshelf along side Frank Peretti or Ted Dekker. I want an illustrator who is talented as A.P. Fuchs illustrating this anthology but helping me design the covers on photoshop because I want to have the cool spine layout. I am thinking of making the anthology available on cafepress.com but they don't have the size I want for the anthology. The thing with working with Creatspace is you need a pdf blender to put the pdf's together into one document. That is what I like about Lulu.com they do that all for me. I just need someone to help me design the wrap around covers to make the anthology seamless. I want it something cool that I can see what people do with me as a character in a story -- but make the story original.
      Tucker in Chimeraworld so Mike gets some attention for his anthologies -- give the books supernatural powers. I want the stories to be genrecletic. That is Mike's term. I want a dark delivery that belongs entirely to the contributor. I am looking to run this through some channels and have working titles going in my head for the anthology. I might enlist the Tabloid Purposes roster to look over the stories with me -- I want to borrow a trait that Kaplan did when he edited Emanations having more than one editor working on a project but one editor calling the shots who stays or who gets cut. I want writers good enough to invade Clive Barker's website like I did 13 years ago. I linked up the short story that did just that when I did a wall post on facebook.com. I am promoting the anthologies I did and appeared in hard on the groups. It is hard to get contributors who are keen to a vision you have for an anthology but when it works it works. I was blessed to work with as many writers as I did over the nine plus years as a publisher -- I have been a publisher almost as long as A.P. Fuchs -- I was lucky to work with him to illustrate Faraday Nelson's short story in The Ethereal Gazette: Issue 12.

did this with a freebie and a print exclusive

I write like
David Foster Wallace

I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!

I ran my freebie Revelations Obscured through it and got H.P. Lovecraft, I ran my print exclusive from Issue 13 and got this result. I posted the freebie on this journal. Now I am curious about this writer too. I am trying to get my anthology going here and got some interesting submissions. I was running the submissions through there to get some comparisons there out of curiosity so I can market the thing. I had to reboot Issue 10 because of the faggot named Marc Lyth, and one thing is this if I see Lyth face to face he's getting punched in his. Some of the stories got Arthur C. Clarke and William Gibson. I am the Arthur C. Clark of horror because of Ghosts In The Tornado. That is very unusual to pull off and found this thing on a few searches. I am working on the nonfiction book right now and waiting for the introduction. I am just waiting to upload the thing from a library.
     I was analyzing the writers in the anthology too to see what I can come up with. It's a curious thing indeed but now I know how to market the anthologies too. I am wondering what famous authors would compare to. The print exclusive story is found in this issue. Now I know how to gauge my work to the famous counterparts, the Lovecraft one is a very strong comparison. I just hope the writer I got compared to with the story in the magazine is not a faggot. The comparative author died in 2008, but I haven't heard of him. He did a book that was about John McCain so there is some hope there -- I am looking to get this because I am curious now, it's driving me crazy with this comparison. The comparative author is originally from New York, but raised in Illinois.
     For those saying I can't write look up their own styles to see who they compare to -- I am kind of shocked that I got this one but at the same time I have to admit it's pretty damn cool. I was comparing my rival authors' styles too to see where I measure up. Now I know why Poppy got worried when it came to me challenging her, she might as well been insulting H.P. Lovecraft when she did that. I am doing this with my other print exclusives too namely the fan favorite story that's creative nonfiction too. My creative nonfiction is like David Foster Wallace and my fiction is like Arthur C. Clarke, William Gibson, H.P. Lovecraft and a female author who appeared with Stephen King. I am looking to compare some of the famous counterparts -- the novel that is the one I created the answer novel to is the one I am curious about. I am getting a lot of this thrown at me because of GAME OVER -- I ran GAME OVER through the thing and they compared me to H.P. Lovecraft so I am curious what the story it challenges would come out to be. They don't do the famous writers having their modern counterparts, but it's the lesser known writers who are getting the famous comparisons. I am posting this from the site where I got it from -- Conservapedia.com. This is the response people don't want you reading. They're going to scream this when they read GAME OVER -- they're going to call that book homophobic because of the portraying of The Picture Of Dorian Gray being urinated on.

"Conservative Christians and other people who strongly object to homosexuality often take offense at this term, which had led to the use of the term heterophobia to describe those who manifest an antipathy to those who uphold heterosexuality as normative or exclusively valid."

I get this because of I uphold heterosexuality as normative and exclusively valid. This is where I call one editor heterophobic. I am waiting for him to get a load of GAME OVER when it hits the streets. I portray a denim n leather vs. PVC world as a good vs. evil kind of thing -- something that Stephen King writes about. Then what some people see with the nonfiction I didn't expect myself to have the comparisons to because of that. I put one of the ex-contributors at odds with me because I challenge the status quot when it comes to genre fiction -- everyone wants to be on that publish the gay bandwagon, I am not going to play that game. I get a lot of flack because of this, and really they can ask me if I care for that matter -- I am not phobic, I just don't want it in the magazine.
