SUMMARY:PFN - Eternal Haunted Summer Seeking Submissions on the Theme: The Good Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:Winter Solstice 2025: The Good Neighbors. Submission Period: 1 November through 1 December 2025. The fae. The fair folk. The hidden ones. Send us your best poems\, short stories\, and essays about the fae as seen from a Pagan/polytheistic\, witchy\, and mythological point of view. Send us poems about the peri of ancient Persia\, Marie de France writing her famous lais\, the favorite trees of the Good Neighbors\, or Nicnevin of Scottish lore. Send us short stories about the armored fairies of the Orkney Islands\, an urban fantasy about a lawyer who specializes in negotiating with fairies\, a retelling of a classic fairy tale (with Fairy Godparent)\, or a story about a father trying to cure his child of elfshot. Send us essays about the impact of Lucy Allen Paton’s research on later scholars\, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Theosophical view of fairies\, fairies as fallen angels\, or the collection and composition of the Childe Ballads. \nSubmission Guidelines \nWe’re looking for hymns to Odin and Inanna and Sekhmet and Pele. Prayers to Hermes and Brigid and Asherah and Amaterasu-omikami. Short stories featuring (or otherwise referencing) Lugh and Yinepu and Hekate. Every poetic form\, from sonnet to rhyming couplet to free form\, is acceptable. There is no set length. \nAny genre of short story is welcome\, from mystery to fantasy to true lifeish to reimaginings of classic myths\, provided the Deities and heroes are treated respectfully (no bashing someone else’s Gods\, please!). Please limit your story to 3000 words or less (though a smidge over is fine). \nWe are also interested in reviews of: classic works of literature (such as new translations of The Eddas or The Iliad); books about the ancient world; books by modern Pagan authors about contemporary Paganism/s; academic journals and popular magazines that deal with Pagan themes or issues of interest to Pagans\, such as The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion\, Biblical Archaeology Review and witches&pagans; and comic books and graphic novels. \nWe are also interested in essays that address the nature of the Deities\, the mythologies of the various pantheons\, folklore\, ritual\, et cetera and et cetera. So\, for example\, we would be keen to read your essay on Hermanubis and how He relates to Hermes and Anubis. Or\, your essay examining primary sources for The Cailleach. Or\, a discussion of the evolution of Veles from (benevolent) God of the Underworld to (Christian) demon and how Polish and Slavic Pagans are resurrecting His worship. \nSimultaneous submissions are fine\, but please let us know as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere. \nThe Big No-Nos. We absolutely WILL NOT accept submissions of writing or artwork created with AI software (e.g.\, Midjourney\, ChatGPT). No generative AI. Any work must be wholly the creation of a human being. The use of assistive AI\, such as spellcheck\, is fine. In other words\, use the tools to create something yourself\, don’t let the tools do the creating for you. \nAbsolutely no ancient aliens. Pieces featuring Atlantis\, Mu\, UFOs\, aliens\, or subterranean civilizations\, as well as levels of gore\, violence\, and sexual content will be judged on a submission by submission basis. No plagiarism. We trust you to be honest. If we discover that a submission has been plagiarized it will be rejected; if the discovery is made after publication\, the submission will be removed and payment must be refunded to EHS. And be prepared to be stomped by the Fates for your poor character. \nAI Training Prohibition: The creators of the individual poems\, short stories\, essays\, and other works that appear in Eternal Haunted Summer retain control of their work. The creators retain all rights to their work; the appearance of that work in Eternal Haunted Summer is agreed upon by both parties\, and compensated as agreed. Any use of this publication and the works it contains to develop and “train” AI in any way\, for any reason\, is prohibited without the express permission of the creator/s. \nSubmission Address: lyradora@yahoo.com \nPlease be sure to note in the subject line if your submission is fiction\, poetry\, essay\, or review. Please only submit during the open reading period. Submitting outside of that window will make the editor very grumpy. \nWhile we have no doubt that everything you have written is absolutely amazing\, please limit yourself to three poems; or one short story; or one essay; or three reviews per acceptance period. Please send all submissions as a .rtf or .txt or .doc/.docx attachment\, or in the body of the email\, to lyradora@yahoo.com during the acceptance period. \nEHS will pay a flat rate of $5.00 for an original piece. We retain first electronic publishing rights. After the piece moves to the archives and the new issue is posted\, all rights revert to the author. Payment will be made via PayPal. No checks or cash. If you do not have a PayPal account\, payment may be made in the form of an online gift certificate to Amazon\, Barnes and Noble\, Bookshop.org\, or Kobo (all purveyors of fine literature). All payments will be made before the issue is launched on the Solstice.
