Less Than Three Press announces its first anthology: That Famous Happy End.

Nothing is sweeter than following a story and its characters through all the ups and downs, the trials, the pains, and seeing them finally reach that moment, that day, that place they worked so hard to gain. Be it by way of murder, magic, misunderstanding, mischief, or mayhem, we like to see them suffer. We want the struggle, the grief, the fight. We want to see them angry, confused, hurt, battered, and on the verge of giving up.

But most of all we want to see all that toil and strife worth something. We want to see them get what they earned.

So put your characters through the wringer, make them suffer and work for it, and then give us that famous happy end.

Submission details for this anthology can be found here.
Further information regarding general submission and content guidelines may be found here and here.

Less Than Three Press will be accepting submissions through January 1, 2010.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this anthology or general submissions or compensation, please contact editor@lessthanthreepress.com.

Coming July 1st, we will be adding Of Suits and Swords by andra_sashner. She has been gracious and awesome enough to join our crew in these earliest days, to help us get the hang of what we are doing ^__^ Her story is pretty rockin', and we are looking forward to releasing it.




Also in the next month or two, we will be adding The Missing Butterfly, which is the band story I have been blathering about. The Beast will be wrapping up soon, as well, and the next fairytale up will most likely be The Huntsman, though something else may usurp it ^_~ We shall see.

Alright, so here's what I've been working on for the past year or so - in conjuction with rykaine and nikerymis. We wanted to do things our way, so we're going to give it a try:



It's small right now, a very simple serial fiction site. We hope to expand once we have a firm grasp of things.

For the moment, however, stories available are Bound and a new collection of Fairytales, beginning with The Beast but eventually to include several others (including The Huntsman). Starting today, readers who sign up can read through chapter 3 of Bound and the first part of The Beast, as well as a bonus short story The Admirer(which is set in Kiss the Rain verse)

We've been working very hard on this, and really hope to see it become something awesome. Take a look if you're interested, any support is most appreciated ^__^

If you have questions/concerns/etc feel free to drop us a line, here or through the website.
