Submissions. We closed to fiction and poetry submissions February 26th of 2014 at 6PM Eastern time, and plan to open again in the Fall of 2014. We will announce new themes at that time. We pay three cents a word for unsolicited submissions published in Weird Tales Magazine. We pay a $10 flat fee for under 500 word pieces of flash fiction published on this website.
Each issue of Weird Tales has a theme. If your story relates to these themes, your response time will be sped up. We also publish work that has nothing to do with the themes, so feel free to send what you have. Know that there will be a longer publication and response time for unthemed content. We are seeking art for all upcoming issues. Please know that each issue of Weird Tales — beginning with issue 360 — will have a theme. A limited amount of nonfiction will be considered for publication. Submissions should be double-spaced with indented paragraphs with no extra space inserted between paragraphs. Locus Online: Magazine: 2014 Locus Poll and Survey. Locus Poll and Survey Here is the online version of the 43rd annual Locus Awards ballot, covering works that appeared in 2013. In each category, you may vote for up to five works or nominees, ranking them 1 (first place) through 5 (fifth).
As always, we have seeded the ballot with options based on our 2013 Recommended Reading List [this link will open a new window], mainly because this greatly facilitates tallying of results. However, again as always, you are welcome to use the write-in boxes to vote for other titles and nominees in any category. If you do, please try to supply author, title, and place of publication, in a format like the options listed, where appropriate. Do not vote for more than one item in a category at the same rank (e.g. two selections ranked 1st); if you do, we will disregard your votes in that category. As in previous years, voting rules count subscriber votes double. Anonymous ballots will not be counted. -- This form is now inactive -- Locus Poll Best SF Novel other: Friendly Atheist — You can be skeptical and friendly at the same time.

Moving Beyond Religion. I am an old man now. I was born in 1935 in a small village in northeastern Tibet. For reasons beyond my control, I have lived most of my adult life as a stateless refugee in India, which has been my second home for over fifty years. I often joke that I am India’s longest-staying guest. In common with other people of my age, I have witnessed many of the dramatic events that have shaped the world we live in.
Since the late 1960s, I have also traveled a great deal, and have had the honor to meet people from many different backgrounds: not just presidents and prime ministers, kings and queens, and leaders from all the world’s great religious traditions, but also a great number of ordinary people from all walks of life. Looking back over the past decades, I find many reasons to rejoice. At the same time, despite tremendous advances in so many fields, there is still great suffering, and humanity continues to face enormous difficulties and problems.
