The holidays are over, and it’s time to get back on the straight and narrow. Easier said than done, though. This month, we want stories about overindulgence. Opulence. Living beyond your means. Whether that’s money, drugs, generosity, or viciousness, we want stories about people who overdo it, and what happens when they realize they\u2019re in a hole they can\u2019t hope to fill.<\/p>\n
Stone\u2019s Throw<\/strong> will open for submissions from the first of every month. We\u2019re looking for all the same dark fiction, crime and noir as our usual submissions, but with a target length between 1,000 and 2,000 words, and aligned with the monthly submissions prompt (see below). We\u2019ll read through the best, choose the one story that shines brightest, and publish it online the following month, paying $25 per accepted story<\/em>.<\/p>\n After a year, we\u2019ll collect all twelve stories into a Stone\u2019s Throw Anthology<\/strong>, to be published alongside our other print issues.<\/p>\n PLEASE NOTE \u2014<\/strong> If you have been accepted within the calendar year for Stone\u2019s Throw, you are ineligible to submit again during that same calendar year. However, we look forward to reading your submissions during our regular RHP Magazine open calls!<\/p>\n And from the Department of Things We Never Thought We’d Have to Say Department<\/strong>: Anyone found to be submitting a story that uses AI or language modeling software will have their story instantly rejected; they will be banned for life from submitting to any other RHP open calls; and they will be the object of open public ridicule and scorn. Come on, people \u2014 let\u2019s not contribute to the eventual subjugation of humankind by the machines, okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month, we want stories about overindulgence.
