Stupefying Stories is temporarily closing to new submissions

Effective March 1, 2014, STUPEFYING STORIES will be closed to unsolicited submissions until June 1, 2014.

The short explanation is that the volume of new submissions we're receiving is interfering with our ability to release new books on schedule. For a more complete explanation, see the editorial in SHOWCASE #14.

If this works as expected, we will again be closed to unsolicited submissions from October 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014, and thereafter be on a three-months-on/three-months-off reading schedule.

Please note that this change does not affect STRAEON, which has a separate submissions queue and reading schedule.
