Our Unholy Triumverate of Carnivah House editors — in other words, Gere, Tom and me — is nearly finished reading all submissions for “The Infinity Swords.”

Each of us is reading every submission. We will gather Sunday to compare notes; any story that all three of us likes is in. Stories that get no votes, of course, will be rejected.

As for stories that get one vote or two votes, we’ll discuss those. Those in favor will try to convince those against that the stories should be in the anthology, and those against will explain their problems with the stories. We’ll hash out the differences; in some cases, the problems can be addressed with minor rewrites.

At some point, we’ll have as many stories as we can afford and the anthology will be filled. It is quite likely some pretty good stories will not make it into the book, as we have a tight budget.

Expect acceptance notices, rewrite requests and rejections to start going out over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for sending us your stories, and thanks for your patience while we try to assemble a kick-ass anthology.

The submissions window for our anthology, “The Infinity Swords,” is now closed. If you haven’t e-mailed yours yet, you are too late.

All submissions that arrive from this point forward will go unread, unless we are unable to fill the anthology from the submissions that made deadline. That’s an unlikely event, though, judging from the number of submissions. I’m not sure how many we have in total, as they’ve been coming in fast and furious all day.

All writers who made deadline should have received an acknowledgement of receipt from us by now. If you sent a story, but haven’t heard from us, leave word here and we’ll see what we can do to get your submission.

We thank all of you for sending us your stories, and we’re having a great time reading your stuff. Now to turn it all into a kick-butt anthology!

Carnivah House is seeking submissions for our first fantasy anthology, The Infinity Swords.

This is a themed anthology, featuring a shared multi-verse. The link is a pair of powerful, dimension-hopping weapons and the entities that pursue them. We have some stories in hand, but we are opening up submissions to fill out the book. If you are interested in submitting, first read the draft of our prologue, then check our guidelines.

Still interested? Good. Write us a story — and send your best. We have some excellent stuff in hand already.

To all authors invited to submit to “The Infinity Swords” anthology:

Several writers have had real-life events, etc., get in the way of writing their yarns for us, and we have some business stuff to sort out, too, so we’ve pushed back the deadline for submissions to “The Infinity Swords.”

You now have until June 15. Good luck!

– Carnivah House

NOTE, NOV. 12, 2007: Apparently, some writers have seen this older post and incorrectly concluded the deadline is June 15, 2008. That’s incorrect; we begin accepting general submissions Jan. 1, 2008, and close the window Jan. 15, 2008. Sorry for any confusion.
