Summary

Tantalizing Tales is inviting writers to submit Christmas and New Year-themed stories for publication throughout December, with a focus on festive fiction and a variety of genres including erotica, sci-fi, and historical fiction.

Abstract

Tantalizing Tales, an online publication, is launching a festive project for the month of December. They are seeking short stories with a Christmas theme to feature from December 1st to 26th, followed by New Year celebration stories from December 27th to 31st. The publication encourages a mix of genres such as erotica, sci-fi, supernatural, historical fiction, and twisted tales. Existing contributors are asked to book a December slot by contacting the publication via comments, Twitter DMs, or email. New writers are also welcome to submit their drafts for consideration. The initiative aims to create a positive and enjoyable holiday atmosphere, especially after the previous year's disappointing holiday season. Tantalizing Tales will feature flash fiction on Mondays and longer stories on other days, adhering to their submission guidelines.

A Tantalizing Christmas

Christmas is coming, are you? A festive project…

One of our amazing writers, Andy Harding, had a brilliant idea with regard to Christmas — it was for Tantalizing Tales to feature festive fiction throughout December. We were excited by the challenge, so here’s the deal…

From 1st to 26th December, we only want to feature stories with a Christmasy theme. Then from 27th through to the 31st it would be great to share tales about New Year celebrations.

On Tantalizing Tales, we like the following tags:

  1. Erotica
  2. Sci-fi
  3. Supernatural
  4. Historical Fiction
  5. Twisted Tale

Or a combination of two or more.
