Cyberpunk Fairy Rating: 7,2/10 1460 reviews
Untethered
Untethered will be filled with fun stories about horses, magic, and magic horses—unicorns, winged horses, horses, donkeys, zebras… basically anything in the Equus genus will do. And, as the name suggests, I want the stories to be a little untamed, a little wild. I’m looking for whacky, whimsical, funny or feisty stories to bring a little levity to some tricky times. That is not meant to imply you shouldn’t explore real conflicts and issues, but all stories should have happy endings.
2 hours ago In Cyberpunk 2077, the Net is made of two distinct halves, separated by a powerful firewall known as the Blackwall. The new Net is where all the networks that support Night City reside, while the old web is where rogue AI programs and ghosts like Alt Cunningham run wild and free. Listen to the Cyberpunk Fairy Tales, a unique twist on the classic stories you grew up with. Sometimes dark and disturbing like the Grimm stories, other times new and relevant to the modern age. This is Volume 1, containing: 'The Impossible Quest of Hailing a Taxi on Christmas Eve' - A modern retelling of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Pirating Pups: Pawesome Subtitle TBD
How do you follow up an anthology of swashbuckling cats? With pirating dogs, of course!
As with the first anthology in this series I am looking for adventure-loving dogs, puns, water and fun. I’m looking for sailors, submariners, explorers, Vikings and more. Fun stories filled with excitement, drama, treasure-seeking, sword fights, discovering new worlds and dogs, dogs, dogs!
All. The. Dogs.
Be careful not to get too caught up in the fun and forget to include a strong plot and detailed characters for your story, though.<
I’m a sucker for a great setting, three-dimensional characters and high stakes, and if your story elicits real emotion from me—laughter, tears or anything in between—you will have increased your chances of acceptance significantly.
We don’t deserve dogs. But we do deserve an anthology of pirating pups!

Women and the Sea
Deep, mysterious, beautiful, dangerous… women and the sea have a lot in common and have been tied together in myth and story from the beginning of time. Stories of women being drawn to the sea or being left on the shore, waiting for their men’s return, have been passed down through the ages. This anthology of stories about women and the sea will be filled with beautiful, atmospheric stories. I’m not looking for fantastical creatures but rather setting, mood.
The mythic.
The gothic.
The tranquility of sunlight dancing upon placid waters and the deep moon energy of rising tides and waves slamming against rocks. I want lonely lighthouses on rocky outcroppings, wind-whipped hair and melancholia, and transformation and exaltation. Salt and sorrow.
