VAMPIRES LIKE IT ROUGH
Sizzler Editions/Intoxication, our premium imprint for erotic romance, is seeking romantic BDSM stories featuring dark and sexy vampires for our upcoming anthology, Vampires Like It Rough.
Books, movies and television abound with sexy blood sucking vampires. These dark creatures of the night allure audiences into their world of darkness with magnetic sexual prowess. Add in some kinky fun (i.e. D/s, bondage, impact play, rubber/latex/leather, ball gags, BITING, strap-ons, and so on), and you have vampires who really like it hot and rough.
Stories may include a variety of BDSM elements beyond those mentioned above. Push the boundaries. We want vampires getting their kink on, but remember the BDSM should bring the characters closer together in their romantic and sexual relationship. Sex must be explicit but also hook the reader as a deep bonding experience for the characters.
Stories for Vampires Like It Rough should be 4-9k in length with three essential requirements: (1) at least one vampire main character; (2) a romantic plotline focusing on a relationship development, and (3) BDSM elements. All stories must contain a HEA ending.
We seek unpublished submissions though we will consider reprints.
Deadline: March 30th 2012
The advance payment against a prorated share of the royalties will be $25 for stories under 5000 words and $35 for stories over 5000.

Most people would think that the world of being tied up, whipped and ordered around like a slave and the world of flowers and romance are two different worlds that could never go hand in hand. Yet, in truth many of our most intense moments of lovemaking include elements of bondage or bdsm – mental or physical. Some even say there is nothing more romantic and precious than the surrender of a sub to a dom. When explicit trust leads to intimacy, a greater connection occurs between the participants. The stories in this collection focus on the romantic aspect of the bdsm lifestyle. But it also has something to say to everyone – for while only some may be tops and bottoms in a dungeon, we are all tops and bottoms in love. In the collection’s first story Gianna Simone take us through a situation that seems destined to tear a longtime dominant and submissive apart. Then PM White shows that bdsm can create a connection that transcends time and space. Next Marianne LaCroix portrays the depth of love a sissy bitch can have for his strict, demanding Mistress. Oceania shows us profound romance in a session of foot tickling. Margie Church and newcomer K. B. Cutter wonder can a dominant male learn to switch – if it’s for the one he loves? Plus six more masterful stories about romance in the world of dominance and submission and people who are bound for love.
