Anthologies seeking submissions - September 2012

It's that time of month again. I don't have any idea what I'm going to write for a short story this month yet. I'm browsing a couple of sites to see if my muse perks up at anything.

(I usually don't post contests that have a fee, but the first prize in this one is absolutely amazing. For those of you who have $20 to spare and a polished short story, this is a great contest.)

    I don't write short stories, but it's so kind of you to put this list together for those who do.

    I wish I had time to do anthologies, but I have all these deadlines with my books. I miss doing them! Remember how we got into the pirate one together? Fun times.
