Ack! This time it's love stories?
And here I had a deliciously dark incubus going.

It's always M/M love stories but as with the non-con label those encompass more than the happy and romantic variant. There's dark, angsty, tragic, forced, doomed, unwilling, stockholme, misunderstood and dramatic relationships that can all fall under the MAS-Zine Love Story label. (MAS stands for Male Abuse Stuff (Stories), the name of the list where the idea of this magazine was born).

Something which wouldn't fit is mindless abuse (this is the kind of stories I decline everytime) or sugarsweet fluff (also a no-no). As you already know, humor too has a difficult stand with us. ;-)

What I'm looking for in a story is (besides the plot) an interesting relationship between its male characters -- something emotional gripping, something which thrills and surprises me. If you have submissive characters I love to see them showing a bit of a spine. Feisty Ukes as the yaoi girl would say.
the dark non-con aspect is important but if the story has me and my editors in its thrall without it -- we'll take it with a kiss. :-)

Very confused. What say I write the two I'm working on and send them both along?

I don't write submissive men, so no worries on the feisty uke front. Strong-willed men fighting for dominance, both arrogantly sure of their own power is what I have.

So dark noncon is OK for this zine?

Hi! A friend of mine, Mr. Cat told me that I should check out the MAS-zine, and possibly think of making a submission. I am currently looking thru the website and your updates etc. May I add you? ^_^

Yes, please! I need prodding and yelling nowadays to answer email reasonably fast. This way you'll get the new and my occasional rants faster :-)
