This is a call for authors to participate in a curated itch.io bundle. Sales from the bundle will divided evenly between all participating authors. If all goes well, this will be a recurring bundle with different themes. If there is interest, we may put together an anthology.  

For this first edition, time.to.occur* is curating a 10-author itch.io bundle whose work fits the theme of "Loregiastic Stories". Loregiastic stories blend original lore and worldbuilding with hot-as-hell erotica and sex.

1. Only 10 authors will be selected, but authors may submit more than one story for consideration and inclusion in the bundle.

2. Please submit a single short story of no more than 25 000 words, or multiple stories totalling no more than 25 000 words.

3. Authors must have or create an itch.io account to host their work.  

4. Work must include original worldbuilding and characters that you own the rights to. Sadly, this bundle will not be including fanfiction.

5. Interactive Fiction is welcome and encouraged, as are non-interactive Prose Fiction stories.

6. Pre-published work is welcome, so long as it fits the theme. Authors of non-interactive fiction are encouraged to take the time to lay out their stories and provide something unique to include in this edition of the story if the story is freely available elsewhere. Many writers include artwork or other bonus work with their stories.

7. Authors are encouraged to set a minimum paid price for their stories on itch.io.

8. All authors who submit will be contacted with news about their submission. However, depending on the number of submissions, we will have limited ability to give feedback.

9. Since we intend this to be a recurring bundle, please include any suggestions you have for titling the bundle.

10. Submissions are due April 25th, 2022, with the bundle to be launched in mid-to-late May (or as soon as it is possible to process submissions).
