{Submit a Story}
"Close your eyes. Imagine kitties were in space. Open your eyes. Write."
The hunt for Space Kitties 2: Searching the Cosmos has begun! What would a redoubtable Space Kittiy be searching the cosmos for? With whom? In what?
These are the questions that need answering!!! And you're just the writer to answer them!!

Many sci-fi fans have noticed the lack of an animal element in their fare for a long time.. and now we can change that!
With a subtly humor slanted focus, to be in keeping with a cute and fuzzy kitty on the cover.
What could be better?
But ALL styles are welcome... requiring only that a cat/kitty be a main or secondary character, and that the story involve space in some way.
The wilder the better!
Entrants are not limited to one submission only... we want the very best stories, and sometimes it can be hard to tell which one you write is the stellar one. So feel free to write several and submit them all!

Brand new and specific Cover Art will be lovingly crafted by a super talented graphic designer!
(To be revealed.)
Open to all lengths: from flash fiction to 10k; and a wide range of subjects/themes: from anthropomorphic, fuzzy kitty crew of astronauts making hard decisions when faced with another form of alien life...
or...
a Star Captain's beloved cat that solves a mystery for him by accidentally eating a key piece of evidence and then hacking up the hairball including it onto his desk.
Just so long as the kitty is a main plot point, we're looking for all ranges of feline filled adventure!
