Editor V. Ulea seeks submissions of short stories, flash fiction, film and book interpretations for a new
print anthology: Quantum Genre on the Planet of Arts. Stories and artworks should meet the
requirements of “quantum genre” explained in detail in the manifesto published by Sein & Werden
( http://www.kissthewitch.co.uk/seinundwerden/3_2/page37.html ).
____Basically, the Quantum Genre is not theme-based but style-based. In other words, Quantum Works
are not about quantum theory but quantum representation of characters and their worlds. The style is
distinguished by a high degree of obscurity of both the narrative and characters which are subject to
mutability and ambiguity ...
____... To clarify, we are looking for the stories told FROM “quantum” perspective, not the stories
ABOUT/RELATED TO quantum theory.
____Furthermore, “Quantum” perspective should not occur as a result of the external influences on the
mental/ physical/spiritual state of characters/storyteller. Don’t “explain” the odd state of the world by
characters’ usage of drugs, or illnesses, or all sort of contaminations, pollutions and the like. Because most
sub-genres of sci-fi and fantasy give reasonable justifications to their occurrences, those type of stories
should not be sent (so, no time machines, magic spells, apocalyptic devices causing temporal shifts, etc).
____... The mode of your storyline should be considered somewhat irreal. The structure may appear
experimental. The plot and sub-plots must be highly imaginative.
____V. Ulea requests all submissions begin with briefly describing why you consider your work to be QW
____— Send no more than TWO stories or FOUR flash fiction. Stories should be no more than 3,000
words each, and flash fiction should be no more than 1,000 words each)
____— Film and book reviews should focus on the “quantum” qualities of quantum genre-movies/books
(see the manifesto for more details). They should not exceed 1,000 words. No minimum.
____— Deadline is May 1, 2009. Scheduled release is September 1, 2009.
____— Payment is 4 cents per word in the anthology for new work. A friendly tip of the hat for previously
published work.
____— Select stories and articles (not based on quality) will also be featured in a Quantum themed issue
of Sein und Werden. The editor may request that certain works be featured in the Sein und Werden issue
yet not in the Crossing Chaos anthology (again, not based on quality).
____Send written works in doc format; artworks as jpeg to...
