Submission Call: Indulge

This is a mature audiences anthology for plus sized guys and the men who love them. We’re looking for stories that revolve around accepting and enjoying being fat and/or being with a fat partner. This anthology will focus on the joys of weight and girth, the eroticism of bulk, indulgence, and self-confidence. 

The stories do not need to be sexual, but they should feel gratifying. We want to celebrate this concept and the happiness heftiness can bring others.

Tonally these stories should be focused on slice of life scenarios and realistic portrayals of big fellas. We will accept excellent stories outside of this field, but we want to focus on readers feeling like they can put themselves in the shoes of the scenario. We are also very interested in submissions depicting older characters, like men in their 40s or older.

Process: Please send submissions as an attached .doc file or .docx file, Standard Manuscript Format to indulge@furplanet.com with a subject line that reads: INDULGE SUBMISSION: “Story Title” – word count.
