Submission Guidelines

Planet accepts original, unpublished short science fiction and fantasy and its sub-genres (SF horror, weird fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, etc.) in the form of prose, poetry, short plays, interactive fiction or art, hypertext, or just about any other experimental structure. New or unknown writers preferred, but the work should be interesting and well done. Unsolicited material is fine, and everything is done via e-mail (so query first if you need help with sending e-mail attachments). Stories should be in final form, or close to it, as we usually don't do extensive rewrites or editing; also, rejected stories are not critiqued in detail due to the volume of submissions (we simply don't have the time; however, we will offer a critique if you ask for one). Any kind of writing style is welcome, but please do not send us any material containing explicit sex, gore, or, even worse, Star Trek-type (i.e., copyrighted) characters or themes.
